Photograph of a large monitor showing a video-conference grid of many participant tiles, taken in a room with a screen in view. Most tiles show small groups of people in homes or offices; several hold handmade signs reading "Winston-Salem North Carolina", "College Station Texas", "Chennai West Extension", and "Nithyananda Paramashivam Kastav Croatia". In the upper right, a bald man in a white jacket sits cross-legged with hands joined before a framed portrait and flowers. A tile labelled "Largest Satsang" appears near the top. Other participants stand or sit, some in saris and some in Western clothes, while a few hold up a green placard. The image depicts a remote satsang session.
