A photograph of a diksha-style blessing. A man in a white polo shirt with his arms raised and eyes closed stands before a robed figure in saffron-orange and maroon cloth with a rudraksha mala and a dark bun, who places a hand on his forehead. Behind them a white-clad crowd watches, including a smiling woman in a red sari with a bindi, and gold-coloured offerings are visible at the lower edge.

A photo of a bare-shouldered figure in a rust-red garment with a gold-edged border, hair in a bun, placing a raised palm on the forehead of a man in a white shirt with a red lanyard and a beaded mala around his neck during a blessing. The clothed figure is seated near gold cushions.2013-12-10March 09 20142014-03-09March 09 20142014-03-09September 03 20112011-09-03 +1 copiesMarch 07 20142014-03-07March 06 20142014-03-06A photograph of a seated man in an orange-and-gold draped garment with a long rudraksha-style bead necklace and a white vibhuti mark on his forehead, reaching up to touch the forehead of a standing man in a white t-shirt who has his eyes closed and palms pressed together. The seated figure has long swept-back dark hair and is smiling; the setting is an indoor room with a camera on a tripod behind them and golden ornaments at the lower right. Two physical people are visible, with a partially visible person at the far left edge. Appearance-based cues on the seated figure are consistent with the a person label, with a distinctive mala necklace and long swept-back hair.2014-03-06December 05 20132013-12-05A photograph of two men in a hall with beige wall panels. On the left, a bare-chested man with long swept-back dark hair, white and red forehead markings, a maroon wrap with gold trim, and layered silver-beaded bracelets and a long beaded necklace, extends his right arm and hand to touch the forehead of a man on the right. That man, with short dark hair and a moustache, wears a white short-sleeved collared shirt and stands with his palm raised. A golden lion-head sculpture and a dark speaker stand behind them, and a partly visible person appears at the right edge. The gesture suggests a blessing given in a satsang setting. The left figure matches Swamiji (probable) by long swept-back hair, bare chest, maroon wrap, beaded necklace and bracelets.2013-12-05March 07 20142014-03-07March 07 20142014-03-07March 06 20142014-03-06
