Sri M, a spiritual teacher, social reformer, educationist, author, and global speaker, has inspired many with his transformational journey. Born into a Muslim family on November 6, 1949, in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, he left home at the age of 19 to search for a master in the Himalayas, where he spent three years under the guidance of Sri Maheshwarnath Babaji, a senior disciple of Sri Guru Babaji. He was initiated into the Nath tradition and later instructed to return to the plains to carry forward his spiritual mission.

Sri M initiated the Walk of Hope in 2015, a padayatra for peace, harmony, and social unity. Covering 7,500 km in 16 months, it brought together people from all walks of life, engaging people at the grassroots level. The Manav Ekta Mission, another movement founded by Sri M, works towards the oneness of humanity. It seeks to transcend religious, racial, geographical, cultural, and ideological differences, encouraging individuals to see the good in every human being.

His mission extends globally through centres he has founded in the USA, UK, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, and Singapore. As a speaker he has addressed the United Nations, the World Bank, and the World Economic Forum. An accomplished author, educationist, and painter, he is the Chancellor of Maulana Azad National Urdu University, and serves on the faculty of IIT Delhi and as Honorary Professor of Human Values at IIM Calcutta.

Sri M received the prestigious Padma Bhushan in January 2020, one of the highest civilian awards of India, for distinguished service of highest order in spirituality, and an Honorary Doctorate from IIM Calcutta in 2025. His central teaching — "Go to the core" — urges seekers to transcend dogma and discover the universal essence within through self-inquiry and Kriya Yoga.
