The premise

Here’s the bit.

At a symposium, Guru Maharishi Yogi welcomes a circle of Western followers and offers to explain Hindu mythology. Asked about Ganesh and Hanuman, he delivers solemn chants and rambling translations whose details keep drifting toward Dumbo and The Jungle Book. The audience remains impressed as his spiritual authority gives way to cartoon plots and musical memories.
