Kumare speaks with a thick Indian accent. His hair is long, his beard is full, his feet are bare. Wrapped in a saffron sarong, Kumare effortlessly becomes a spiritual beacon for a curious bunch of truth seekers in Phoenix.
But Kumare, whose real name is Vikram Gandhi, is actually a hip 33-year-old filmmaker from New Jersey, who created a fake "yogalebrity" persona but wound up with a real American following.
"Isn't the most traumatic part of the illusion of Kumare is that the guy who they all thought was from another country actually grew in Jersey?" he told ABC News in Los Angeles after the premiere of the resulting movie, "Kumare: The True Story of a False Prophet."

I've only seen the trailer but I imagine that even though the guy says he's not kundalini enlightened or something like it they still project the aura of guru on him-I'm going to watch it on netflix-
