May 13 20152015-05-13A photo of a discourse hall where a standing figure in a flowing saffron-orange robe and a long rudraksha mala walks down a polished aisle holding a handheld microphone. Many seated devotees in white and pastel clothing sit on the floor on both sides, most wearing white blindfold cloths across their eyes. Behind the speaker is a golden arch with hanging orange and multicolour tassels, and sunlit orange drapes hang at the top of the room. A patterned purple mat lies to the left. The standing figure has long swept-back dark hair and distinctive saffron and rudraksha cues, so this is a probable Swamiji in person, presenting an appearance-based candidate rather than a confirmed identity.2010-10-23December 24 20152015-12-24August 13 20162016-08-13A photograph of an indoor ashram gathering.
