146 Chris Butler 1st REACTION VIDEO Tulsi Gabbard's ex-guru, Science of Identity Foundation

0:00 – Intro to reaction videos of Vaishnava guru Chris Butler (aka Jagad Guru Siddhaswarupananda Paramahamsa). He is a former member of ISKCON (during the lifetime of Swami Prabhupada) who started his own group of Krishna devotees in Hawaii, today called the Science of Identity Foundation, and said to be Krishna or "akin to god" by ex-devotees. He is famous for his negative teachings of Muslims, LGBTQ, and being Tulsi Gabbard's former spiritual guru. This video is not about Tulsi, her family, her recent nomination as Director of National Intelligence, nor the cult accusations surrounding Jagad Guru, but just looking at what he says in the moment (which is my approach to all guru reaction videos). | personal interest in Tulsi Gabbard's political career, views of Tulsi in light of Chris Butler's cult leader reputation | Tulsi 2028
