Dear Sri Aravind Rangan :

The simplest answer is that aasthikAs and AchAryAs
were forbidden from travelling overseas for fear that
their aachAram and anushtAnams will be disturbed .

There are daily requirements for a devout person to observe
known as Pancha Kaala Prakriya , which can not be disturbed
even for one day . There are also food restrictions that are
important to observe . In a foreign land , that is another
problem . In the olden times , devout ones would not get into
a train or travel far from their villages . If they went on Dhivya dEsa 
yAthrAs by foot , they took satthu maa with them or ate fruits
offered to the Lord first or ate at other BhAgavathA's house
or fasted until they got to their destination . Even in India , these 
observances ( ParAnnam taking ) are on slack or nonexistent .

Many members of the Indian families are living overseas today .
Lufthansa , Air India and British Airways are full of Indians
going back and forth . Some of these overseas Indians maintain
their aasthikyam , aachAram , anushtAnam and AchArya
Sambhandham very well .They build temples and observe strict
rules and regulations that are not found even in their
home country dhivya dEsams.

The inquiry into forbiddeen travel overseas has to be looked
hence  in the context of historicity these days . Even today ,
there are strict followers of our sampradhAyam in India ,
who will not travel  overseas even if a milion dollar is offered
to them .
