"A documentary about a man who impersonates a wise Indian Guru
and builds a following in Arizona. At the height of his popularity, the
Guru Kumaré must reveal his true identity to his disciples and unveil
his greatest teaching of all."

It is an 84 minute documentary. A shorter version of it would be helpful for someone who wants to study the cults.

The Guru will not reveal anything new, he will just repackage the old Hindu doctrine. It is all about universal love, reunification with god Krishna, etc.
I would not call him a “false prophet” as opposed to a “true prophet” because Hinduism as a religion is a hogwash, it does not have true prophets.

With that documentary the person posed as a guru/leader and got people to follow him. Then after people did follow him he told them he was a fake. It may take a while but at some point I will watch it. If anyone sees it before I do, as is likely, tell us about it, please.

Looks interesting.

I don't like it when people get pranked though. I get no pleasure from watching that type of thing, or for instance when radio hosts do phony phone calls. I hate to see peoples' time wasted and I don't find it funny, at all.

So, given my bias, I have a feeling this movie might piss me off.
