The author Sri ‘M’ is an extraordinary individual. His uniqueness lies not only in the fact that at the young age of 19 and a half, he travelled to snow clad Himalayas from Kerala, and there he met and lived for several years with a ‘real-time’ yogi, Babaji, but also that he should undertake such an unusual and adventurous exploration, given his non-Hindu birth and antecedents.
The metamorphosis of Mumtaz Ali Khan into Sri ‘M’, a yogi with profound knowledge of the Upanishads and deep personal insights, born of first hand experiences with higher levels of consciousness is indeed a fascinating story.
The bonus for those interested in the secrets of yoga, meditation and sankhyan metaphysics is that Sri ‘M’ is still living and easily reachable. He leads a normal life, married with two children, wears no special robes and conducts himself without pomp or paraphernalia.
Someone who met him recently said, “I expected a flashy godman and instead I saw a jean clad gentleman with a smile of his face, ready to discuss my problems. In five minutes flat, I said to myself, this is no ordinary man. The peace and tranquility that enters your system is tangible”.
Reading Sri M’s biography has truly been an extraordinary experience for me. I feel rather inadequate to describe in words this story that sounds unbelievable at some points yet arouses faith in existence of the human soul and its transgression to a higher domain. I was intrigued by the preface and was curious to accompany the explorer on his spiritual journey. Sri M describes his experiences in a very simple and forthcoming style.

Reading Sri M’s biography has truly been an extraordinary experience for me. I feel rather inadequate to describe in words this story that sounds unbelievable at some points yet arouses faith in existence of the human soul and its transgression to a higher domain. I was intrigued by the preface and was curious to accompany the explorer on his spiritual journey. Sri M describes his experiences in a very simple and forthcoming style. It is the story of a boy born in a Muslim family in Thirunvanthpuram, Kerala, his intense fascination with Himalaya, his determination to find a guru to quench his spiritual thirst and find his destiny. As I moved along the pages, I could feel the restlessness of a young person who is able to pursue his path despite all odds. Of course, the extraordinary happenings and guidance of his guru help him attain the ultimate mission. He is today a living Yogi who lives a normal life spreading his message of spiritual awakening through his Satsang foundation.
This is one of those books that moved me to my core, I will not forget it.
