Filmmaker Vikram Gandhi explains how to start your own religion by sharing secrets from the making of his award-winning film Kumaré. Can a “fake” spiritual tradition be as true as “real” one? Can the stories we believe in bring us happiness?

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.*
