July 20 20102010-07-202010 - Photo Album +1 copiesA photograph of a seated man in meditation in an outdoor temple garden under bright sunlight. He wears an orange-saffron robe and a dark rudraksha mala, with a red tilak on his forehead, and sits on an orange cushioned seat on a woven mat within a circular gravelled pit. Behind him stands an orange stone pedestal with a dark black stone deity murti, decorated with garlands of marigolds and flowers. Palm trees, dark stone statues, and small red placards are visible around the grounds, and a brass kalasha sits beside him. Swamiji (probable): the saffron robe, long swept-back hair and rudraksha mala match the page's claim, but the face is not clearly visible enough to confirm identity.2010-10-16 +1 copiesJuly 23 20102010-07-23A man with long swept-back hair sits cross-legged in meditation on a wooden seat outdoors, eyes closed and hands resting palms-up on his knees.
