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 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 is tangible."

Awe inspiring!

Sri M's relentless pursuit as a youth for spirituality and freedom is captivating. The details of a guru-discple relationship is beautifully portrayed in authenticity. There are numerous lessons for anyone who yearns for the true path of sell-realization.

I also have the kindle version to better follow the difficult names and locations mentioned and hard to follow. There are chapters I want to revisit. However, the audible narration is excellent.

I feel like when I first read 'Autobiography of a Yogi' many decades ago...enchanted and so very grateful.
Thank you, Sri M.

A fascinating journey

Inspiring , Magical

I enjoyed the description of M’s journey and the imagery specially when he entered the Himalayan areas - I often felt transported to the mountains. I enjoyed the blend of traditions, stories and the jewels from the upanishads

Vivid account invites you to vicariously experience the journey

Blissful ...

Access to a living guru is here for us all. How blessed to hear his story of inner awakening, of the choice to live as Bodhisattva for us all. How grateful i am for this dear moment, this dear story. This dear teacher. Here for us all.

Bliss is ours to share.

It was a great narration of Sri M’s life. Some of the experiences are extraordinary but having been started on the spiritual path since little while back, they were not hard to believe. It is also interesting to see how some of these experiences tie back to what we used to hear as child from our parents and grandparents and would ignore them as BS. I just wished that he had touched a bit more on some of the techniques and methods that would have helped humanity at a greater level like for example experience of the lady whose cancer was cured by breathing techniques taught by Maheshwarnath babaji. Overall I would recommend everyone to read/hear this book.

Great but expected a little more

Our Eastern brothers and sisters have a rich storytelling tradition and this book by Sri M, is no exception. A must read for a true seeker, trust me on this!

A beautiful book by a beautiful Person!

This is a fascinating story of the life of a master, especially the later part of his life. I must admit that hearing the names of all the towns and holy men in his language was melodic but totally went over my head. Delightful listen.

Holy Men

This is a rare look into the making of a evolved being of love and compassion. I recommend keeping your heart and mind open so you experience a beautiful life.

A must listen for true seekers
