A photograph of a smiling man seated on a low carved wooden stool at the base of a massive banyan tree, its thick aerial roots spreading around him. He wears an orange saffron turban with a red bindi, an orange sannyasi cloth draped over one shoulder, and multiple rudraksha mala necklaces, with long dark hair falling past his shoulders. His hands are clasped in his lap and he looks upward, barefoot on sandy ground. A purple logo appears at the upper left and a faint copyright line is at the lower right. Probable Swamiji by appearance: the long hair, saffron turban and orange clothing with rudraksha malas match the page's claim, and he is the only person present.2004-07-212002 - Glimpses From Various Programs2002-01-01July 02 20042004-07-02 +1 copiesOutdoor ceremony beneath a large banyan tree with hanging aerial roots. A standing man in saffron-orange robes and a matching orange head wrap, with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala, holds a brass ritual vessel and stands before a seated figure draped in orange cloth and garlanded with pink and white flowers. Behind him, a crowd of devotees in white and cream clothes stands with palms pressed together in namaskar. Seated devotees in yellow, green and orange saris and kurtas fill the foreground, and a bearded man in white stands to the right. A purple bird logo appears in the upper right corner.2004-07-02Close photograph of a smiling man speaking into a handheld microphone at left. He wears an orange-red turban with a gold-edged border, a red bindi on his forehead, and a matching orange-red shawl with a wide gold zari border over a bare shoulder. Long, dark, wavy hair falls past his shoulders and a row of dark rudraksha beads hangs on his chest. Blurred red roses and pink flowers fill the background, with a white surface behind him. The appearance matches the Swamiji (probable) cues of long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas, with the page indicating a discourse at the 2004 Tiruvannamalai initiation convention.December 24 20072007-12-24A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits in an orange upholstered chair, smiling and gazing to one side. He wears a long rudraksha mala and a red tilak on his forehead, and has long dark hair.

He wears an orange robe draped over his shoulders, a long rudraksha mala, and a red mark on his forehead, with his hands clasped on his knee. Two men in white clothes sit nearby, one at right wearing gold bangles, and a wooden staff lies at the lower left. The long swept-back hair, saffron robe and rudraksha cues are distinctive, so this is a probable Swamiji in person.2008-01-03October 25 20102010-10-25February 28 20132013-02-28
