Gabbard was raised in part according to the teachings of the Science of Identity Foundation (SIF) religious community and its spiritual leader, Chris Butler.[37][38][39] She has said Butler's work still guides her.[40] In 2015, Gabbard called Butler her guru dev (roughly, "spiritual teacher").[28][41] Gabbard's husband and ex-husband have also been part of the community.[41][38] Gabbard has been reluctant to speak publicly about the SIF.[39]
Gabbard embraced the Hindu faith as a teenager.[27][42][43] Her first name comes from the Sanskrit word for holy basil, a plant sacred in Hinduism.[44] Her siblings also have Hindu Sanskrit-origin names.[27]
Tulsi? She was in some weird minireligion and now she's Hindu.
Yep, some Hawaii based organization that draws from Hinduism, named Science of Identity Foundation.
She swore into congress on a ooga booga book.
