A printed scan of a Vethantha Gnana Mantram letterhead from Periya Shivan Temple, Scarborough, Canada, with the World Saiva Mission logo and a gold ornate frame holding a portrait labelled "Paramahamsa Nithyananda" in the centre. The framed portrait shows a figure with tall dark hair, a white forehead band and tilak, a raised hand in blessing, and layered rudraksha malas and beaded necklaces against an orange and grey backdrop. The portrait is a printed depiction, not a physical person. Below the frame is a printed WHEREAS paragraph describing the a person as the 1008th living incarnation of Paramashiva. No physical people are present.
