27. How a Fake Guru founded a Real Cult | An Interview with the Filmmaker VIkram
Manage episode 377767530 series 3512890
The filmmaker Vikram Gandhi wanted to expose the fake spirituality of the American wellness movement by impersonating the Hindu priests he grew up around. He invented a fake yoga, intoned Sanskrit chants that were translated from the marketing materials of Nike Sneakers, the US Army and G.I. Joe and told people to trust their intuition. What he didn't expect was that some of his followers started to believe that he really WAS god. #guru #cult #breathwork Watch Kumaré on Amazon:
