A monitor shows a nine-panel video grid of satsang groups in different locations, linked by live video. Top-left panel shows people seated beside a temple altar with a sign reading OHIO. Centre-bottom panel shows a seated group with a sign reading SINGAPORE. Bottom-right panel shows a figure in orange and pink robes with a tall crown and rudraksha mala, seated on a gold-ornate throne with hands in a teaching gesture, consistent with the page's Swamiji claim but shown on a screen, so a depiction. Other panels show seated devotees, a temple with deity murtis, and yoga-style seating on mats. The monitor is in front of a second dark screen.
