A man with long, swept-back dark hair sits on a black office swivel chair in a plain room with a pale wall and wood-panel dado, a microphone on a boom stand in front of him. He wears a white long kurta with a gold-embroidered shawl draped over his shoulders and a small red tilak on his forehead, hands clasped in his lap, smiling. Beside him stands a small round wooden side table holding a glass of water and a folded paper napkin with a notepad. Probable Swamiji: long swept-back hair, white ceremonial kurta and gold shawl, seated as a speaker.2005-04-01March 15 20062006-03-15A man with long, wavy, dark shoulder-length hair sits in a wooden chair beside a microphone stand, speaking during a talk. He wears an all-white embroidered kurta with small gold dots, a gold-bordered white dhoti and a gold-threaded shawl draped over one shoulder and tied at the waist. A red bindi marks his forehead and a small lapel microphone is clipped to his collar. Plain white walls and a window form the backdrop, and his hands rest open on his knees. The appearance of this seated speaker in ceremonial white with long hair and a red forehead mark is a probable match for a person; he is seated and speaking, not behind a throne.2007-07-03A photograph of a seated speaker giving a satsang talk in a lecture hall with wood-panelled walls and a green chalkboard behind him.

His eyes are closed and his hands are held together in front of his body in a gesture of prayer or mudra. Around him, people in white kurtas and black jackets stand on blue tarpaulin, and brass lamps and a brass plate with yellow powder sit on a table and on the ground nearby.2006-04-01A seated man with long, dark, swept-back hair and a red tilak on his forehead sits with eyes closed on a wooden chair outdoors, his hands moving at his chest.
