His documentary should pay for his believers' psychological counseling

After the Unveiling, I suspect many of the believers (unconsciously and to save face) will embrace Vikram. First, because they've already proven they are susceptible to outside beliefs (his now being Vikram) is another thing they can be accepting of. But secondly, to reject Vikram now is to reject the joy they felt accepting, and believing in, Kumare.

What Vikram did really is indefensible and, even though Vikram is a nice guy and Kumare didn't instruct his believers to do anything dishonorable. At the very least, he wasted their time. At the most, he psychologically traumatized these people. Imagine some of the trust issues these people must have later in life: "Who is this new person? Are they what they appear to be? Are they manipulating me?"

I do not like Vikram nor find his methods ethical. Not as bad as Stanley Milgram, but almost (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment). What's ironic is this "experiment" goes on all around us, with millions of Kumares on the planet professing their religions for which they have no real basis.

It's just that Vikram is probably the only one to start and end his religion knowing it was untrue and revealing it as such. (Imagine if Vikram and his documentary crew had died in a plane crash before the revelation: that could've been the birth of a whole new religion.)
