The term comes from the early days of the Amiga and is partly an in-house
joke. One of the early products produced by Amiga was the joyboard, a game
controller much like a joystick but supposed to be operated by your feet. It
was sold with the skiing game Mogul Maniac for the Atari 2600 game computer.
When the Amiga OS crashed, the programmer working with it would sit down
cross-legged on the joyboard, trying to keep it in balance thus resembling
an Indian guru.

cheers,

Lance
