Description	Kripalvananda, a master of kundalini yoga and namesake of the Kripalu Center in the United States

Date of publication	before 1981
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Kripalvananda
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	for visual identification of the person in question, at the top of his/her biographical article
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	None is known, and other images will also be in copyright.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	This is the only image of Kripalvananda on Wikipedia and the only image in the article. It is at poor resolution, cropped from the original.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	Several images of the swami including this one are in wide use on the Web and in devotional literature already, so putting this one here at low resolution seems very unlikely to make a difference.
Other information	The subject of the photograph has been deceased since: 1981
