Childhood[edit]
Sri M or Mumtaz Ali Khan was born on 6 November 1948 into an affluent and liberal Muslim family
in Trivandrum, Kerala.[3][4]. In chapter 2 of his autobiography Apprenticed to a Himalayan Master, Sri M
describes meeting his Guru Sri Maheshwarnath Babaji, who appeared in the garden of M's home in
Trivandrum. M saw a distinguished and youthful-looking stranger with matted hair standing near a
jackfruit tree. After a brief conversation, the stranger disappeared. This was a turning point in Sri M's
life, who was nine years old at the time. Sri M says of this meeting: "After the jackfruit tree incident,
although outwardly I looked like any other boy of that age, my personality had undergone a profound
change. A secret life went on within, side by side with the ordinary activities of day to day existence.
The inner journey had begun and the first sign of this was that I began to meditate without even
knowing the word meditation."[5] Following this awakening, he made contact with a series of South
Indian saints, including Bhagawan Nityananda of Ganeshpuri,[6] Yogi Gopala Saami, Kaladi Mastan,
Swami Abhedananda, Chempazhanti Swami, Swami Tapasyananda and Mai Ma.[7][8]
