We Hindus are not in the same situation. In the Nath group, consider https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yogi_Adityanath … who is the elected chief minister of a 260m person political region as was his predecessor at the Gorakhnath Math. From a foundation like that, we don't need to flatter people so much.
I've seen very little research in religious studies on this area of lineage sovereignty, and how that influences the diffusion of teachings/techniques and so on. Would be interesting to see more of that, especially given most traditions are reliant on neo-liberal economic model.

"When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why they are poor, they call me a communist." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%A9lder_C%C3%A2mara … Same thing is all the way across Judaism as various religious factions wrestle with the problems of Israel and the diaspora in the modern world.

In Catholicism, it's the whole child abuse scandal. In Islam, it's the craziness around the Ummah vs. various secular states with mostly-Muslim populations, and so on. Which side are your religious leaders on in those struggles? Plus the whole Ataturk movement. It's everywhere.
