About Sri M
Born in India, Sri M is a spiritual guide, social reformer, educator and writer. He first met his Master at the age of nine under the jackfruit tree, in the compound of his house in Thiruvananthapuram in the Indian coastal state of Kerala.
The full account of his astonishing and amazing experiences are published in his memoir from 2011 titled “Apprenticed to a Himalayan Master - A Yogi’s Autobiography“, which became an instant bestseller. He has written a sequel to his autobiography, titled “Sri M - The journey continues”, which was released last year.
Sri M has traveled the world fulfilling his life’s mission to teach and guide people as instructed by his Master, Maheswarnath Babaji. Over the years, Sri M’s mission as a spiritual guide, social reformer and educator have given rise to many initiatives including:
- high-quality, multi-lingual education, free to rural children
- Satsang Rural School - an unique and innovative approach to education.
- Co-educational, residential school committed to providing in-depth exploration of knowledge.
- Affordable, preventive and curative holistic health care
In 2015, Sri M went on a 16-month journey, Walk of Hope, from Kanyakumari to Kashmir, spanning 5000 miles across 11 states of India, to bring attention to humanity’s need for peace, harmony and tolerance.
Sri M says: “Go to the core. Theories are of no use.” His message seeks to transcend the outer-shell of all religions, by exploring their mystical essence and thus nurture the innate goodness in every human being.

If something is actually spiritual, it cannot be tainted, only improper methods gets tainted in its way across the timeline because it does not act per ways of impersonal objective truth and its principle laws

[@redpillmatrix3046]

Ramakrishna Mission

[@krishnamsdhoni]

sacrifice is used to refer when we put something at risk or at stake while in pursuit or to hold on to something of higher priority or to attain something important. A master or a leader is one with authority and power and only with that, they can manage their organisation and related activities. but he must also be someone who is put into question and enquiry to his actions or decisions concerning the organisation and related things he manages, otherwise it becomes corrupt but that questioning and enquiry has to be done in a justifying manner of fair play. when someone is a master of mantras we must give them the acknowledge and personally attend to their needs as we are ordained by them. by the way, I don't think its right to chant mantras during other activities, anything you do must always have thought emotion energy and action entirely dedicated to it. otherwise it becomes half assed focus which does not excel on its direction. even for Union of energies, it must always be put into synchronised application through the means of physicality. let's just take for example, our need for body sustaining. which required food, if we dont consume it, we can't fuel the nutrition body required. physical application is very important when we are practicing the applying of spiritual to manifest. if you are going to chant, make a separate time period specifically for it

[@kishorej9919]

If you are ripened in chanting, then it would automatically creep into our daily activities without our knowledge, done by the subconscious mind. There is an incident about this in the life of SANT EKNATH.

[@rajabhagwan9]

Agree 👍

[@veena5366]

Sir...can somebody chant mantra in our name by doing sankalpa...will it work for us?

[@kishorej9919]

Yes, it will work. But the person who does it on our behalf should have the power of upasana to be fully effective.

[@veena5366]

Thank you sir...

[@menankamajumdar7717]

Nowadays, Mantra is given by guru on Mike inside a closed room to about 70-80 devoties together. Is it the right way to take mantra from that gurus?

Yes, The guru transfers the energy to you even if there are 1000people.

i don't like chanting., the father knows exactly what you desire., just take time to read his words or listen from it if you cannot read

[@chaitanyatalegaonkar8629]

Chanting is not doing only for desire. It is a devotional practise.

[@redpillmatrix3046]

Chanting is the way of connecting to father.

[@krishnamsdhoni]

when your activities are integrated with one another, its fine to focus on various things that concern the same underlying foundation but multi tasking is a dangerous thing, I would suggest not to chant while doing household works because it decreases caution on what we are currently doing and may mess it up
