A man in an orange saffron robe with a long dark rudraksha mala stands barefoot on a glossy floor, holding a microphone in one hand and raising the other, addressing a seated audience. Behind him a red banner reads NSP with Tamil script, a gold-and-red throne stands on a raised white platform flanked by white candles on orange bases, and a camera operator in white clothes films at left. On the right a chakra diagram shows a blue meditating figure with colored chakras. Dozens of seated people, many with white headbands, sit on the floor in orange, white and colored clothing. The speaker's appearance is consistent with a person, given his saffron robe and rudraksha mala while teaching from the platform.

October 23 20102010-10-23A hall fitted with a white draped ceiling and maroon swags shows a standing figure in a full orange-saffron robe walking down a green carpet aisle toward the viewer. Seated devotees on both sides wear white clothes and white headbands. Behind the stage is a large portrait of a smiling man in an orange turban, beside a banner reading NSP with Tamil lettering. A chakra diagram of a seated blue figure is displayed on an easel at right, and a small brown armchair sits on the stage. The standing figure is visibly a monk in saffron robes; a bald head is not visible and the robe alone does not establish identity, so the appearance-based label is applied conservatively.2010-08-21October 23 20102010-10-23October 23 20102010-10-23 +1 copiesOctober 23 20102010-10-23A standing man in a plain saffron-orange robe holds a handheld microphone and gestures with his right hand while addressing a seated audience on a green carpet.
