A photograph of a large wall-mounted or monitor display showing a grid of video-call tiles from multiple centres. Many tiles show groups of people seated for a satsang or meditation, with devotees in saffron, white and pink clothing, shrines and deity murtis, oil lamps and small banners in the background. One tile in the lower right shows a man with orange robes, rudraksha malas and a bindi-like forehead mark seated before a red patterned backdrop; he appears to be a person, and the display is a screen, so this is a depiction. Banners on tiles read San Jose Madurai, Houston Kalama, Delhi Dwarka, Seattle Chamakam and Malaysia Pulai. Visible physical people in the room are few, and the tiles are screens, so people are counted as 0 in the physical scene.2012-09-22A grid of fifteen video-call panels shown on a large dark screen, a virtual satsang with devotees in many locations.
