Donovan states in interview that John Lennon became disillusioned with the Maharishi due to John's own "private life" — not any problem with the Maharishi.
Known as "blaming the victim" — or "doctrine over person" in some circles — Donovan perpetuates the myth that the "master" and the "teaching" were perfect. If you had problems, there must be something wrong with you.
