A photograph of a satsang setting. A man in a white short-sleeved collared shirt with small triangle prints and white trousers stands at left, bending forward to receive an object from a bare-chested person seated at right on a red cushioned seat. That seated person has long dark hair, a gold necklace and a white cloth draped over the shoulders and waist, and extends his right arm to offer the item. Behind them, several seated men wear white dhotis and white shirts, and a yellow cloth is visible at lower left. A brass lamp stands on the right beside a gold-coloured ornamental piece and a folded orange cloth lies on the seat. The wall behind is light beige and the room is dim.

A photograph of a satsang discourse. A long-haired man in white clothes and a gold ornamental necklace sits on a golden throne with red cushions, one arm extended in a teaching gesture, a small lamp flame visible near his head. In the foreground a blurred man in white with a grey-streaked head raises his hand toward the speaker. Seated devotees in white garments listen on the left and centre, and a woman in grey sits in the background. A brass tray with offerings lies on the low table. The speaker shows an appearance-based candidate for Swamiji (probable) with long swept-back hair, gold necklace and white robe, and the page reports his presence at this satsang.2010-12-17A kneeling man in a white shirt and white dhoti, with short grey-flecked hair and a stubbled beard, extends cupped hands toward a seated figure on a gold-trimmed red throne. The seated figure wears an orange-saffron shawl draped over bare shoulders, a long swept-back black hair style, a white horizontal tilak on the forehead and a dark rudraksha mala with a gold-toned necklace. The seated figure hands a small white object into the man's palms. Standing behind them are devotees in white, including a man in a white dhoti with a gold border and a saffron-trimmed chain, with hands folded. Gold-framed red cushions and a dark-brown wooden floor complete the setting. Probable Swamiji is seated on the throne, identified by the saffron shawl, swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and gold ornaments, receiving the devotee's kneeling offering.2012-05-14 +1 copiesDecember 17 20102010-12-17A photograph of a stage event with a man in orange robes and a white flower garland receiving offerings from several devotees in white clothing with folded hands.
