A photograph of a large display screen showing a multi-panel video conference of satsang participants in several locations. Most panels show seated devotees on floors and mats, many in white and cream clothing, with women in saris and sarees. One panel shows a seated figure in a turquoise-blue robe, with long dark hair and eyes closed, seated on a gold-and-cream ornate throne before a microphone; the panel is labelled with a watermarked caption. Other panels show a shrine with a deity murti and framed images, a seated man in a dark green robe, and a sign reading HOUSTON and another labelled SAN JOSE. A logo with a bird appears at top left of the screen. Swamiji (probable): the figure on the throne wears a blue robe, long swept-back hair and a microphone, and the page places him at the satsang.
