Apprenticed To A Himalayan Master A Yogi's Autobiography By SRI M (English)

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 traveled to the 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 deeply 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 Sankhya 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 on 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 are tangible'.
