Sri M’s Words

In the Yoga Sutras, there are Yama Niyamas, the rules and regulations for a yogi. Simply by saying, I’m going to sit and meditate and do my Kriya, nobody moves.

Sri M shares his profound reflections — in his own words — on Satsang, spiritual evolution, the role of a Guru, and the nature of miracles, as featured in The Hindu, September 21, 2012. His insights offer a rare window into the timeless path of inner awakening, grounded in lived experience and wisdom.

Every human being who lives in this world and who is also spiritually inclined comes across challenging situations. Nobody is free of that. 

Blessings will always be there. When a Guru, a real spiritual person is there, you will get blessings. You don’t have to cringe for it, it is natural, it flows from there.

The Yoga Vasishtha is one of the most profound and influential philosophical texts in the Indian tradition, attributed to the great sage Vasistha.

From 12th to 17th January 2025, the Yogadham Akhada of The Satsang Foundation in Prayagraj became a vibrant hub of spirituality, in the presence of Sri M and a series of profound teachings, rituals, and cultural events.

Meditate on the teacher, but listen to the teaching. Certain amount of discipline is required. Especially, listen to the words that the teacher is saying and act accordingly. If you don’t, no matter if you do your kriya in sirsasana, nothing will happen. keep this in mind.

You cannot judge an action of an inanimate or a non-living object, or a non human object. You cannot judge a poor dog. It barks when it is afraid.
