September 09 20122012-09-09A photograph of two men in close conversation during a satsang gathering with red and orange draped backdrops. On the left, a figure with long dark swept-back hair, bare-shouldered, wears a leopard-print cloth and a heavy rudraksha mala with ceremonial beads, holding a tall ceremonial staff hung with small brass bells, and raises one hand palm-out while speaking. Across from him, a man in a white shirt and orange shawl sits with both palms raised toward his own cheeks, facing the figure. Behind them a man in white dhoti with a sacred thread sits, and a standing devotee in orange robes is partly visible at the right edge. The figure matches a person cues of long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and ceremonial adornment, seated as the speaker in this satsang discourse.2012-09-09A photograph of a seated figure in a saffron-orange cloth draped over the shoulder and waist, wearing layered rudraksha malas, a bracelet of beads on the upper arm, and a drop earring, with white horizontal tilak marks on the forehead. He extends his right hand to rest on the head of a man in a white shirt and an orange-red shawl who kneels in front of him with hands clasped at his chest. A seated man in white clothes and a white-and-orange scarf sits in the background, and red and gold drapes fill the backdrop. The figure matches appearance cues of a long-haired, saffron-clad guru with rudraksha malas, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) giving a blessing.2012-09-04A photograph of a seated long-haired figure with dark swept-back hair, wearing rudraksha mala necklaces and bracelets, a bare shoulder and a leopard-print garment, holding up a hand with a ritual staff hung with small brass bells. Facing them, a man in a white shirt and an orange shawl sits with his palms raised near his own face in a gesture of reverence. Behind them a seated man in white dhoti and a robed attendant in orange stand against a red draped backdrop. Swamiji (probable) appears as the figure with the rudraksha malas and long hair, visible in person.2012-09-09September 14 20142014-09-14May 07 20142014-05-07 +1 copiesA seated figure in an orange-red cloth wrap with a long rudraksha mala and a white tilak on the forehead raises one hand while touching the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt. The seated figure is adorned with long swept-back hair and sits beside gold lion-form ornaments and a peacock-feather fan, with a silver trident raised above. This appears to be a blessing or initiation moment, with the trident and the gold lion ornaments visible in the setting.2014-08-26A seated man in a tiger-striped saffron-and-black garment with a gold waist belt and a long pink-and-white flower garland is placing his right hand on the head of a bearded man in an orange shawl over white clothes. The garlanded figure sits on a maroon velvet throne with gold carved panels. Behind them, people stand among green plants, including a figure in orange robes holding a camera, and a woman in white with a red bindi watches. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, a garland and gold ornaments with a tiger-print garment, and a throne-like seat; this label is appearance-based only and the image does not show a visible name. The scene is a blessing given by a seated guru.2012-12-16September 28 20142014-09-28July 14 20132013-07-14December 24 20142014-12-24July 25 20142014-07-25
