Apprenticed to a Himalayan Master

A Yogi's Autobiography

By: Sri M.

Narrated by: Gaurav Sajjanhar

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!

Loved every word. Fascinating and inspiring. I'm going to listen to it all over again.

A fascinating journey

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.

Inspiring , Magical

A peak into the world of true yogi’s.
Eye opening into worlds unknown to westerners .
Many thanks to Babaji, Sri M and all the masters for their guidance .

Vivid account invites you to vicariously experience the journey

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

Blissful ...

Incredible author, incredible narrator, incredible story that will never end. Sri M showed me what meaning of life is. Thank you!
