Yes, I remember seeing that show; and I do remember Cavett asking him to demonstrate levitating for him; But I also remember Maharishi avoiding the question, on whether he could levitate or not; I remember his response being more of: I am here to teach, not to levitate myself. Thinking back as best as I can remember: (it would be good to get the tape, somewhere) And Maharishi changed the subject; about levitating then and there- But Cavett persisted, and Maharishi seemed very annoyed with him. I remember Cavett even pulled on Maharishi's dohti, which was very disrespectful, or at least taken that way. I don't think Maharishi ever appeared on any American Television Media, since that show..
