I'd always wanted to make a movie about 'us', about our inner, spiritual lives, 

he says.
I've watched so many movies about 'them': the backwards people of the others and even, the fundamentalist right-wingers (the neocons, tea party -movement e.t.c.).
What about us? he add.

Why don't we turn our gaze back on ourselves? I figured: If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. So, I impersonated a wise guru from the East named Kumaré and started a following of real people in the West.
One time (seven years ago) he filmed a gang of sadhus (spiritual ascetics) smoking weed on the banks of the Holy Ganga in Northern India. Their guru stepped away from a young European woman meditating under a banyan tree, and approached me, machete in hand.

You want to know about gurus?

All those big gurus you see, they are not spiritual people. All they want is money. It's not that easy man... Living a spiritual life is very difficult.

The modern definition of yoga is convoluted as the postures yogis aspire to. Symbols, smells, words, icons, and religions of the East became an easy aesthetic for branding and marketing.

In yoga class, was I the only one who wasn't feeling the vibe of getting enlightened? Gandhi said to the The HuffingtonPost. 

And why were people all of a sudden bowing down to people in robes with expensive philosophies and the promises of happiness? I became skeptical of anyone who sold a spiritual product, anyone who claimed to be holier than anyone else, anyone who said they had the answer.

I think he is right. And really, one who is himself genuinely enlightened, is careful not to, at least, if nothing else, by using that  that very inaccurate concept, which means no matter, what ever in the World.
