Evening w/ Himalayan Mystic Sri M!
You are invited to an evening with spiritual guide, social reformer, and educator Sri M!



Sri M was born as Mumtaz Ali to a Sufi Muslim family from Kerala.  At age 9, he received a spiritual initiation from a yogi who appeared in his backyard.  By age 19, he ventured off to the Himalayas in search of a true Master, and found Maheshwarnath Babaji-- the very same yogi he encountered at age 9.  After years of training and travel throughout the Himalayas, he met his Master's Master, the legendary Babaji, first widely known from Paramahansa Yogananda's book Autobiography of a Yogi.

Upon receiving instruction from his Master to return to the plains and start a family, he left the Himalayas to continue his training as a householder and to prepare for his life's mission.  Over the coming years, he met spiritual luminaries, teachers, and saints from all traditions, including Neem Karoli Baba and J. Krishnamurti.  He's also a prominent spokesperson for interfaith harmony in dialogue with religious leaders like the Dalai Lama and Pope Francis.

Sri M's phenomenal and fascinating life story is captured in his autobiography Apprenticed to a Himalayan Master, which has sold millions of copies internationally.  Many of his public talks can be found on the Satsang Foundation YouTube channel.

Shortly after the worldwide success of his autobiography, he published The Journey Continues, which is a collection of chapters from his autobiography that were initially considered too far-out to print.  He followed that quickly with his first novel, Shunya, in which his protagonist and his journey are an amalgamation of episodes from multiple exalted spiritual figures Sri M has known.  He's also the author of On Meditation: Finding Infinite Bliss and Power Within 
(2020) which is an anthology of many of the most frequently asked question from his public talks and retreats.  During the pandemic, he released Yoga: Also For the Godless (2020) and The Homecoming and Other Stories (2020).

In 2015, Sri M embarked on The Walk of Hope a 500-day, 4,600 mile walking pilgrimage from the Southern tip of India to the northernmost state of Kashmir to rekindle interfaith harmony, equality, and a sense of shared humanity.  Through daily meetings with local leaders and communities, his message of peace & harmony touched millions across the regions he traversed.



Even amidst the pandemic, hundreds and thousands of people show up to meet him wherever he goes.
