Not my experience at all after 25 years of travelling in India up to this day. He is the one who is reviving the Vedic civilisation in India and creating thousands of schools all over the country, not Amma or this Ravi Shankar fellow. Ask any well educated or well-to-do indian and he will for sure have read about Amma in the newspapers or seen a self-conscious Shankar on the television, but the real respect is reserved for Maharishi and what he is doing for India.
