March 25 20142014-03-25A photograph of a diksha-style blessing in an indoor hall. A bare-chested man with long dark hair tied back, wearing a rust-red and gold shawl and layered gold and beaded necklaces, extends his right hand to rest on the shaved head of a younger man in saffron-red robes with a gold border and a dark rudraksha mala. The younger man wears glasses and stands with hands folded at his waist. Behind them, a woman in white with a red-and-brown shawl and a dark beaded necklace sits and watches. A potted plant, a brass pot and a plush toy with an Australian flag are visible nearby.2015-07-17January 08 20142014-01-08A photograph of a ritual blessing inside a hall with white walls and a ceiling fan. A shaved-headed man in white dhoti and shirt, wearing a rudraksha-style wrist band and a lanyard, stands with palms pressed together while a saffron-robed figure places a hand on his forehead. The robed figure wears a white garland of flowers, layered rudraksha and gold necklaces, bangles and a white tilak, and holds a folded paper. Beside him, another saffron-robed man with a rudraksha mala gestures toward a brass vessel on an orange cloth. Onlookers in white and orange stand behind, and a young boy in an orange shirt watches. The robed figure has distinctive garland and necklace cues, so he is a person.2012-09-12September 21 20122012-09-21A photograph of an indoor gathering in a bright hall with ceiling lights and framed pictures on the wall. In the centre, a man in a cream turban and a maroon-red cloth, wearing layered rudraksha malas and gold ornaments, raises his right hand over the head of a bald man in a white dhoti and white shoulder cloth who bows with hands pressed together. Onlookers stand around, including a man in a striped grey shirt holding the bowing man's arm, a man in white with a yellow border at right, and a figure in an orange garment behind.2011-12-29July 23 20122012-07-23August 09 20172017-08-09 +1 copiesJanuary 09 20122012-01-09 +1 copiesA photograph of a seated satsang gathering in an ashram hall with pink walls and a red curtain. On the right, a man in orange and rust-coloured robes with a rudraksha mala and a headset microphone smiles and extends a book toward a bowing woman in a white sari with yellow floral print. Behind them, a bald monk in orange robes with a gold chain and tilak stands, and a man in orange sits on an ornate gold throne beside a gold lion-headed armrest, holding rudraksha beads. A bald man in orange and a gold necklace reaches for books, and a woman in patterned clothing stands at left. Several people hold a person-titled books, and a child is partly visible at lower left. The gathering appears to be a book distribution during a satsang.2013-10-28A seated man in an orange-and-gold garment with a thick gold-toned beaded necklace and swept-back hair gestures with an open hand toward a shaven-headed man in white who kneels with palms joined in namaskar, an orange shawl draped over his shoulders. A woman in white with an orange shawl, rudraksha mala and a tilak sits nearby, looking on. Behind them other people in white and orange stand near a red curtain, a golden decorative frame and an electric fan. The scene looks like a satsang with a visiting devotee greeting the guru. Swamiji (probable) is the seated man in orange, identified by his orange-and-gold clothing, long swept-back hair and ornate gold necklace.2015-07-19October 13 20152015-10-13
