A photograph of a seated man in an orange saffron cloth draped over his shoulder and bare chest, with a rudraksha mala around his neck and a white tilak on his forehead, his hair tied in a top knot. He sits on a red cushioned seat and holds a small object in his hands while attending to two young boys in front of him, one in a maroon jacket and one in a white shirt. Behind them a cameraman with a tripod films the scene, and other people stand near a doorway in the background.2011-12-25September 17 20112011-09-17December 10 20112011-12-10December 06 20112011-12-06October 11 20122012-10-11November 25 20112011-11-25A photograph of a seated man in an orange-saffron robe with a sleeveless bare-shouldered drape and layered rudraksha malas and gold ornaments, wearing a white vertical tilak and red bindi on his forehead and gold-beaded armlets. He rests his right hand on the head of a young boy in a navy t-shirt standing before him, a ritual blessing gesture. Behind him a golden throne with red upholstery; another figure in orange robes and an orange head covering stands behind, raising a hand. Red cushions and a tray of flower petals sit at the lower left, and a white-clad attendant is partly visible at the far left. Plain white wall and a wall vent in the background.2012-10-16A seated man in a rust-brown dhoti-style garment with a gold border rests his right hand on the forehead of a shaven-headed boy in an orange sleeveless robe. The seated man, with long hair tied back, rudraksha mala beads and white vibhuti marks, smiles warmly. The boy wears a rudraksha mala, bangle and a white vibhuti mark, eyes closed, palms together in a respectful gesture. Gold ceremonial objects and a dark speaker stand in the background. This appears to be a blessing moment, with the seated man's appearance matching the page's Swamiji cues of long hair, rudraksha beads and a ceremonial setting (probable).2013-12-08December 31 20112011-12-31December 16 20132013-12-16A seated man in a rust-brown robe with gold trim and a long brown mala necklace places his right hand on the forehead of a young boy in an orange sleeveless top with a red lanyard. The boy holds his left palm up in a gesture of receiving. Gold lion-head armrests and a dark chair frame the seated figure, with a large white screen behind. A man's shoulder is partly visible at the right edge. The setting suggests a blessing during an indoor satsang or darshan. The seated figure's distinctive long hair in a bun, brown robe and mala cues make Swamiji a probable candidate, shown in person giving a blessing.2013-12-12A seated man with long dark hair tied back in a low knot, wearing a maroon-and-gold wrap over bare shoulders and a thin gold chain, places his right palm on the forehead of a young boy with a shaved head. The boy sits with palms pressed together in namaste, wearing an orange-and-gold robe and a dark beaded rudraksha-style mala. Behind them, a microphone stand is visible, and several people in orange robes sit on the floor. A framed portrait on the wall shows a figure in orange. A blessing or power transmission session in an ashram hall is depicted. The man has distinctive long hair, a gold necklace and a bare-chested wrap, so he is a person candidate present in person, though the appearance cues are not conclusive.2015-06-25
