Sri M was born as Mumtaz Ali Khan in a Muslim family of Kerala
HARIDWAR: With a U-shaped sandalwood paste tilak on his forehead, the traditional mark of a Vaishnavite seer, ochre-coloured shirt and sitting in front of a dhuni, Sri M seems like many of the other seers who have set up camp at the Bairagi Camp area of the Maha Kumbh. As he holds a discourse on the teachings of the Upanishads and Bhagavad Gita, it comes as a revelation to know that Sri M was born Mumtaz Ali Khan in a Muslim family of Kerala.
At the Kumbh, he has set up his own akhada, Yoga Dham, where there are daily discourses from scriptures, sadhu seva (service to seers) and chanting of bhajans. “God is known by different names Allah, Christ, Krishna and so many others. Despite different names, God is one and the same. Once we have this knowledge, we see that everyone is seeking the same thing,” he says, eyes crinkling into a smile.
