Synopsis:
Who is the man behind the ultimate pop guru of the century? Sri Sri Ravi Shankar mediates between presidents and guerrillas, twits, jumps onstage like a rock star, and has millions of followers. Some people see him as the new Gandhi, but others think he is just smoke and mirrors. Paula, an argentine filmmaker, chases him across more than 60 cities around the globe. This guru is a riddle she has the urge to resolve.
