A photograph of a man in an orange saffron robe with a rudraksha mala and white tilak on his forehead, long dark hair swept back, smiling as he places his palm on the head of a small child in a yellow outfit. A seated adult in a green-and-white striped shirt leans in from the right. The man holds small wrapped sweets or prasad in his other hand, and a child's hand reaches toward them. Behind is a plain cream wall and a black speaker. The man shows distinctive saffron robes, a rudraksha mala and long hair, so he is a probable Swamiji candidate blessing the child in person.

February 22 20132013-02-22A photograph of a seated figure in an orange-saffron draped garment with long dark hair pinned with rudraksha beads, reaching forward to touch the head of a small child. A smiling man in a light blue collared shirt kneels beside the child, who has both hands raised and palms open. The figure holds a folded white cloth in one hand, and a red-and-orange cloth lies across the lap. A woman in a red outfit stands in the background against a red curtain, with a glass railing and white cloth-covered table behind. The scene suggests a blessing or darshan moment within a satsang hall.2013-07-11July 14 20132013-07-14July 15 20132013-07-15March 20 20132013-03-20May 28 20132013-05-28March 20 20132013-03-20A seated man in saffron-orange draped clothing and multiple beaded rudraksha-style malas with gold ornaments rests his hand on the head of a small toddler in a checked shirt and orange shorts. The man, seated on a red velvet throne-like chair in front of a gold-ornate backdrop and purple drapes, smiles and holds a small object in his other hand. A lap-level adult arm supports the child at left. Swamiji (probable): the saffron clothing, swept-back long hair, and heavy beaded malas with gold necklace are the qualifying cues for a seated blessing (darshan-style) scene in an ashram setting.2013-02-27A seated man in an orange-saffron shawl and long swept-back dark hair, wearing a multi-strand rudraksha mala with large beads, extends his right arm to touch the forehead of a young blond boy in a white t-shirt who wears a red cord and rudraksha beads and has his palms pressed together. Behind them a second man in a white dhoti with gold border, bare chest, white forehead markings and a rudraksha necklace smiles and gestures with folded hands. Several women in white and orange saris stand in the background near a stage with red and gold drapes and floral garlands. Appears to be a blessing or darshan moment during an ashram gathering.2013-07-07May 13 20132013-05-13 +1 copiesA photograph of a bare-chested man in orange ochre cloth with a long rudraksha and silver bead mala and a gold pendant necklace, seated on a red cushion. He has hair tied in a bun, a white vertical tilak on his forehead, and is smiling as he places his right hand on the head of a boy. The boy, in a turquoise t-shirt with a rudraksha mala, has his palms pressed together in namaste and eyes lowered. Behind them a woman in an orange saree and another person in blue stand in a plain room. The man has distinctive long rudraksha and gold adornments and an orange wrap, consistent with the page reference to a person, so this is a probable identification of the seated man, who is blessing the boy.2012-10-11A photograph of a smiling man with a white tilak on his forehead and hair tied in a bun, wearing an orange-saffron cloth over his shoulder, rudraksha malas and a gold pendant necklace, seated on a red cushioned seat with ornate gold trim. He extends his arm to hand a small packet or prasad item to a young boy in a cream shirt, while another child in a blue shirt leans in below.
