I thought the same thing. It might be interpretted as racially insensitive by people from India or Hindus.
For those who haven't seen the ad Oddbodd is referring to, it's an ad for yoghurt. An Indian Guru says "Yummmmmmmmm" after eating the yoghurt as though he was chanting. He also says with an over-done Indian accent "You want to know the meaning of life? Look it up in the dictionary!"
There've been previous ads with the same character. I wonder if the actor is Indian himself, or if he's a white person wearing make-up and a wig/beard.
