Sri M

Sri M—spiritual guide, social reformer and educationist—was born into a Muslim family on November 6, 1948 in

Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. His transformational journey, from a young boy to a living yogi, is a fascinating

story symbolized by single-minded discipline and dedication. He travelled to the Himalayas at the age of 19, met

saints and sages, eventually gaining his spiritual fulfillment under the guidance of Maheshwarnath Babaji. He is

married and has two children. His autobiography, Apprenticed to a Himalayan Master—A Yogi’s Autobiography,

is a bestseller. Based in Madanapalle, Andhra Pradesh (a three-hour drive from Bangalore), he leads a simple life—

teaching and guiding the Satsang Foundation and Manav Ekta Mission.

The WalkThe Walk of Hope will flag off on 12 January 2015,

the birthday of a great prophet of interfaith harmony,

Swami Vivekananda. Starting from the Gandhi Memorial

Mandapam in Kanyakumari and concluding in Srinagar,

Jammu & Kashmir, this initiative will reach out to 10

million fellow Indians.

The padayatra will cover 15-20 kms a day and halt

in the evening at a pre-determined village or town

enroute. The evening will be spent meeting with the

local populace-which will include meaningful dialogues,

inter-faith prayers, eating together and, finally, resting

overnight at their homes.

A diverse assembly of responsible citizens, who foresee

a united and inclusive India for themselves and the

future generations, will accompany Sri M in this walk.

The HopeThe Walk of Hope is an exercise to restore the innate

spirituality of the nation—rekindling true faith and

rejuvenating the spirit of hope, love, peace, harmony

and oneness.

The hope is to erase disparities arising from a

misunderstanding of our diverse culture and religions,

thus uniting the humanity of India through a spiritual

Walk of Hope is a padayatra for peace and harmony by the Manav Ekta Mission-covering

6500 kms from Kanyakumari to Kashmir. Led by Sri M, founder of Manav Ekta Mission,

the journey spans 15-18 months through 11 Indian states, bringing together citizens from

all walks of life. Traversing the varied landscape of India, it seeks a significantly restored

nation-fit enough to be bequeathed to our future generations.
