December 17 20112011-12-17A row of seated men meditating with eyes closed on a polished wooden floor before a red curtain. The foreground man wears white dhoti and shawl with gold borders, a rudraksha mala necklace and bracelet, white horizontal ash stripes on his forehead and arms, and rests his hands in a mudra. Beside him, men in white dhotis with gold borders sit with hands in meditation poses, while others further back wear orange robes and a few wear grey and black clothing. Each person appears absorbed in meditation or satsang, with a purple bird logo in the upper left corner. No a person candidate has distinctive presentation cues, so this is a group of devotees and meditators.2011-12-04October 26 20112011-10-26January 17 20132013-01-17A photograph of a seated group in meditation during a satsang gathering.
