The Modern Mystic: Sri M of Madanapalle

Official Site: The Modern Mystic is a film about a most remarkable man. One day in the future it will be said that a great master passed this way and awakened many to their inner potential. Sri M of Madanapalle is a true Modern Mystic. Born Mumtaz Ali Khan and raised in a Muslim family in Trivandrum, he became a Yogi in the Himalayas at nineteen, spent three and a half years traveling with his master Babaji Maheshwarnath, returned to the world, got married, raised a family, founded the Satsang Foundation, built two successful schools, became a crusader for inter-religious harmony, authored a best-selling autobiography, is a respected teacher of Vedanta and Kriya Yoga and today is Guru to thousands across the World. The Modern Mystic is an intimate and compelling film by Raja Choudhury that explores Sri M's life, the workings of his mind and the beauty of his soul. To continue the conversation go to Facebook / themodernmysticfilm or visit Sri M's foundation site at www.satsang-foundation.org/

Very well made . Unlike other biographies , the interviewer is extremely patient and giving Sri M ample chance to express himself . We need more people like Sri M who do not brand themselves under any banner of religion (though he represents the Nath Sampradaya) and preach what is the universal truth. Very easy to start intellectual deabtes but the most important take away from listening to Sri M is to allow his words to sink in and it softly touches you and lifts you up . I experience the same magic emanating from SRi M as i felt reading Paramahamsa Yogananda.

[@arnabroychoudhury8064]

Sir, do please also read complete works of Swami Vivekananda and Ramkrishna Kathamrita.. these are also soul stirring books..

[@LifeDrinker0]

I love SriM I resinate with him love his meditation mantras much love😊❤

[@geoh96]

Thank you so much for this gift. I really enjoyed listening to his life story. He is like the grandfather I have always wanted. Wise, humble, loving and funny. I love how he is a very learned man in both Indian and western epistemologies yet states that academia is not the most important goal but the inquiry. Also much respect goes to his wife as behind every great man and leader there is an even stronger partner. As a couple they bring education and love to this world.

[@padminikadle4957]

Upanishads are explained in such a simplified manner by Guruji so much so that even the commoners are able to understand the essence of our ancient texts .🙏🙏🙏🙏Thank you Guruji 🙏🙏🙏

[@emilyditzler4843]

@@padminikadle4957 I have heard Sri M Guruji say, "There are no commoners, we are one." I knew this was true and I entered in with Him in the energy of truth. Namaskaram and peace to You Much Grace

I listen to him everyday & feel so much peace. Thank You 🙏🏻

This man has got a beautiful Soul. Look at how sweet and happy his wife glows remembering things about them.

[@keammaha990]

The entire purpose was beautifully captured, not once we Raja Choudary in visual. Crisp to the point

[@dertli9]

That which I see in him, an authenticity almost extinct this day and age, brought tears of joy to my eyes.

[@TheGoodfella2012]

A very well made documentary about a true master. I was pleased to see that he even recommends people read Richard Dawkins' books.

[@8aniltaneja]

I see him like a hidden treasure! He reveals only a bit in public! I wish to meet him in person!

[@babitaawasthi8316]

Truly said ... the gender doesn’t matter... in any case we all have to walk the path to realisation.... Cant recollect why and when this out of context comment has been made by me ... Pranam

[@subarna89]

THE STORY DOESN’T MATCH WITH THE BOOK i have been reading His book and watching many videos where he narrated his Himalayan experience. In his book and other videos he said that at vyas gufa he saw a dhuni and proceeded towards it he tried to look inside and babaji was inside and said-“where have you been wondering madhu”? (Ghum fir ke agaye) Here he says - he has been meditating inside vyas gufa and suddenly he saw babaji after opening eyes. (20 mins through this video) Given the ages of his kids revealed here in rhis video, I think this video was shot before the book was published ! Anyways, if anyone of you personally know him, could you please ask him about the different accounts narrated? I do respect him a lot and would like to retain the feeling forever, just trying to clear the confusion

[@vaishalivaidya7978]

WOW..such a profound experience just listening to him...wish to meet him some day

[@knowthyself6816]

Mr. Raja choudhury I don't know about mysticism but you are an incredible documentary film maker.

You were naturally casteless, being with everyone, eating with everyone. This shows inherent spirituality rather than human bounded spirituality.

What an enlighted soul and very peaceful aura Sri M has.Fabulous podcast,with every podcast I hear of him there is a great wisdom to gain like the Kundalini that energy that creates the group of cells into thinking man and seeks happiness.Nobody explains kundalini as well as he does. And what a sweet coincidence Sri M not only shares his birthday with my respected Sasumaa - 6th Nov,but also the unmistakable cheek dimple when smiling.God is great, He made these two great souls with utmost attention & care.

[@florenceellis7126]

This is so true. We are One. We have to change ourselves from within. In order to live in Peace we must become peaceful. I offer R.I.P.P.L.E.

Thanks for posting this wonderful film! Guru, I have realized is not a Paras mani that we can touch to get what we desire. He works very quietly and slowly and unbeknownst to us changes the way we perceive, think, believe and are! What can one offer to such a great master but our own personality so he may introduce us to our self. Many salutations at your feet and I am very blessed to have received this infinite grace. Salutations at your feet, dear Sir!

[@ajayamaragonda2943]

@@rajadasworld so tell me how you are your own guru?

[@rajadasworld]

@@ajayamaragonda2943 Just like you. The end awakening will happen on your own. Teachers, books, companions, and guides will only point the way and teach you techniques along the path. Arise. Awake. And never give up until you reach the goal. I have had many great teachers and like all true seekers in our Indian path, I see Sadha Shiva and Adi Shakti as my ultimate Gurus (Padukone) and then manifest through Dakshinacharya and Dattatreya into our work in Sri Vidya, Kali Kula, Trika, Kriya, Laya and more. Everyone else just points the way and interpretets the truth. I have also been initiated into Merkaba, Hermetcisim, Rosicuccianism, Kaballah, and Taoism. All great teachers. Interpret for yourself. But most importantly experience the truth. No one can do that for you. They are all crutches then.

Om Namah Shivaya ! Thank you for this interesting video of a great mystic and philosopher. Jai Gurudev Swaha Om Sri Mahadevaya ! In the Shiva sutras the Blessed Lord Shiva's prayer states, " Prayer of samkara, the supreme Awareness. That consciousness of Samkara is ever victorious which in it's wholeness is non-dual in reality though having an appearance of duality, from which the class of Rudra and Ksetrajna springs and in which it comes to rest, which is the fundamental Reality, from which bursts forth into view the universe,whose form is this universe,from whose unimpeded Free Will ever leaps forth his divine power which is a mass of bliss,bringing about the unsurpassed,immortal spanda principle. " To That Samkara I bow ! Homage ! Om Shanti Shanti Shanti Subha Priyam !
