From pilgrimages and cathedrals, gods and fallen angels, holy wars and holy ghosts, organised sports have every aspect of an organised faith. In fact, it might be even better: all it takes to believe is to stand and cheer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNobody knows this better than the preeminent sports documentarian Gotham Chopra, who just so happens to be the son of world-renowned spiritualist Deepak Chopra.
