Her birth name is Jennifer Nelson, but she now calls herself Bhavana Shakti Swami. She is a young white woman with brown hair. She wears a sari, has henna tattoos on her hands and feet, and has a bindi on her forehead. Bhavana Shakti Swami is a New Age guru who spews meaningless gibberish that vaguely resembles Hindu and Buddhist spirituality. She is mystical, nonsensical, esoteric, perky, strange, friendly, kooky, spiritual, eccentric, holistic, and weird. She thinks she's wiser than she is.
