A monitor displays a Vidyo video-conference grid of several panels showing group sessions. Most panels show large groups of people seated or lying on mats in halls decorated with floral garlands, purple drapes and ornate deity images, many performing hand-over-eyes and arm poses. One panel shows a seated presenter in a white garment with a white shawl beside an oil lamp. The bottom-right panel shows a figure with long dark hair in an orange-saffron robe with a beaded necklace, seated on an ornate golden throne with a microphone, flanked by brass oil lamps; a probable Swamiji is visible by distinctive long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha-style beads. A banner reads 'SAN JOSE' among the panels. The screen-captured group shows a kriya session.
