"If the yearning is very deep in your heart to find the 'Truth', not powers, but the Truth, then I can assure you that you will come to the right teacher at the right time. Regarding Initiation, for simple meditation like watching your breath, there is no need of an initiation. But if you are going to do more complicated practices dealing with your energy channels, it will be safer to take initiation from somebody...." - Sri M

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.

9:00 she's just so sweetly innocent. She believes she can meet him. That's innocence . Mohanji says we all want babaji as a guru, but it takes lifetimes to reach the frequency of babaji. He sent Sri M to you meanwhile

Mohanji too also speaks of Naga loka. He wrote of Naga loka. It's real. The realms beneath earth are where Naga Deva reside. Lowest is Pathala ruled by Vasuki. The serpent king who Shiva wears around his neck.

[@vijisoman5023]

Guruj.... I love you so so very much. I have been practising meditation for the past few years. Before I start my meditation I visualise myself touching your feet and seeking your guidance. My question is does that request of mine reach your heart. ....please awaiting your response.

[@yashwantmalwadkar6038]

Namaste

[@Srividhya1682]

I am sure it has reached him. keep doing

[@naveenkumar-qi1rx]

Hey,why are you chopping the videos,long one hour videos are good, they can be used like meditation itself,is there any special reason for breaking the videos into two🙏🏻

[@PritamSarkarBelakoba]

Please can you correct the watermark (The Satsang Foundation logo) "Samvo Manamsi Janatam", I think "Manasi" is Wrong.

[@TheSatsangFoundation]

Thank you very much. Yes we will do the needful.

[@SatyendraVarma]

He should keep in mind that few westerners are just fooling around with him and asking questions just for fascination and entertainment.

[@vivekanandavidyarti2826]

I also feel the same. It's like they are testing him or toying with him. Shri M probably understands it and is handling it with patience 🙏
