A photograph of a seated figure in orange robes and an orange turban sitting cross-legged on a white cushion over a red cloth, with a rudraksha mala around the neck, addressing three visible people seated on white folding chairs in the foreground: two men in cream and white clothing with their backs to the camera and a partially visible child's head at the bottom. A microphone on a tripod stands beside the seated figure. Behind is a large framed inlaid panel showing a chariot with a charioteer and horses in a battle scene. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), the orange-robed teacher in the centre, identified by saffron robe, turban and mala cues; the page attributes this session to Oklahoma City, 2003.

A photo of a seated person in a saffron-orange turban and orange robe, wearing a dark beaded mala, sitting cross-legged on a bed draped in orange cloth and holding a mala in both hands. A microphone on a stand stands beside them, and a black speaker sits nearby. Behind them a man in a white kurta sits on a folding chair against a white wall, and a framed picture hangs on the left. Flowers rest on a tray in the foreground, and a blue-and-red patterned rug lies on the floor.2003-08-03June 22 20082008-06-22A seated man with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange saffron robe, a rudraksha mala and a red tilak, sitting on a maroon quilted cushion and holding a black walking cane. Around him people sit on orange and yellow cloth in a plain room: several in white with yellow or orange shawls, hands folded in namaste, and bearded men in orange robes behind him, one holding a microphone on a stand. Fruit offerings are visible at the lower right edge of the frame.2008-03-22June 22 20082008-06-22Indoor photo of a seated figure in an orange saffron robe with long swept-back dark hair, seated on a white chair before a framed deity picture garlanded with white and red flower strands and a green leaf garland above. Two people sit in white plastic chairs facing him: a man in a white shirt and khaki trousers on the left and a woman in a cream sari with a braid on the right, the seated figure's hands resting on the man's hands. Framed paintings hang on the cream walls, a sofa with patterned cushions sits at left, a striped rug lies on the floor, and brass and metal figurines and a vase stand on a side table. Appearance-based candidate matching Swamiji (probable) by orange robe, long swept-back hair and seated throne-like chair.2008-05-09A seated long-haired figure in an orange-saffron robe sits on a white-draped chair in a room with a framed portrait and a gilded framed image above. The figure wears a red bindi and a rudraksha-style mala, and is positioned centrally between two seated devotees. On the left, a man in a white shirt and khaki trousers sits in a plastic chair with hands clasped. On the right, a woman in a cream sari with a braided bun leans forward and reaches toward the robed figure's arm. A small shrine with painted figurines sits on a side table, and white curtains frame the windows. The photograph is a candid room scene, not a discourse hall. Swamiji (probable): the central robed figure has long swept-back hair, an orange robe and a rudraksha-style mala, which are the cues for the page's stated presence, though appearance alone is uncertain.2008-05-09A seated figure with long dark hair wears a saffron-orange robe and sits on a white cushioned chair in a dim room with sheer curtains. Behind him, a large framed portrait of a standing figure in white robes and garlands is hung, with a silver-coloured murti of a deity and a small green-canopied shrine on a side table. Four attendants stand around him: a woman in a dark brown sari at left, a white-bearded man in a white shirt with a dark mala bending forward at left-centre, a bearded man in an orange robe and glasses at right-centre, and a man in a white shirt bending forward at far right. The gaze is focused on the seated figure and the surrounding devotees.2008-05-09A blurred photograph of a ritual scene on a stage with a red and orange draped backdrop. A central seated man in orange robes, with orange clothing, a rudraksha mala and a tilak on his forehead, leans forward and gestures with his hands over a white ritual setup. Behind him, a shaved-headed man in white with an orange shawl stands near a table of fruit, and a man in white with a yellow shawl stands at right beside trays of offerings. A flower vase sits at left, and a boy in an orange shawl appears at lower right alongside a few other seated devotees in orange and white. The central figure has distinctive orange robes and mala cues, but the face and appearance are not clear enough to confirm identity.2008-03-28A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban sits on a red-and-gold brocade seat in front of a microphone stand and a carved wooden throne-like chair at right. He wears a long rudraksha mala and has long dark hair falling past his shoulders; his face is turned upward and to the side. Behind him, several people in white ritual clothes stand and sit in a hall with a lattice wall. The image is a photograph of an event. The figure's appearance matches the probable Swamiji cues of long hair, saffron clothing, turban and rudraksha mala, and the page states Swamiji was present, so he is described as Swamiji (probable) seated at the program.2004-07-02A photograph of an indoor satsang hall with whitewashed walls and a raised red-and-white platform. Two seated men wear saffron-orange robes: the one on the left sits quietly, and the one on the right, with long swept-back dark hair and a full beard, holds a microphone and speaks. Behind them hang rows of bamboo sticks with orange tassels and a framed portrait garlanded with flowers. A red cushion, white cloth and brass items sit on the platform. Dozens of seated devotees in white clothes face the platform, and a video camera on a tripod is in the foreground. A wall fan stands at left.2008-06-22A man with long dark hair swept back sits cross-legged on a large white rounded throne-like seat on a stage with dark red curtains. He wears an orange saffron wrap over a sleeveless orange garment, with a long rudraksha mala around his neck, a red bindi on his forehead, and a microphone on a stand beside him. He rests one hand on his knee and his bare feet rest on a small wooden footstool. To the left, a table draped in white holds a vase of red and white flowers and a water bottle. The appearance of the seated man with long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads is consistent with Swamiji (probable), seated on a stage at a training convention.2008-04-16October 29 20082008-10-29
