‘M’ (Mumtaz Ali), as he prefers to be called and is popularly known, is a genuinely secular voice that has assimilated the essence of all religions and is committedly engaged in passing on his understanding of the oneness of all religious paths to spiritual seekers.
Born into a muslim family in Kerala in 1949, ‘M’ nurtured keen interest towards spiritual pursuit since childhood. Even as a lad he spent time reading books on yoga, vedanta and vedic scriptures. At twenty, he could no longer subdue his strong attraction towards the Himalayas where he met his great master. Emulating the teachings and life of his guru, ‘M’ strongly asserts that one has to live like the lotus, which, while growing in water and deriving its nourishment from it, still does not let water wet its petals. He shuns the pseudo outer shell of all formal religions, yet cognizes their inner mysticism that can nourish the innate goodness in all human beings.
To all those who seek clarifications, guidance and help in spiritual matters he is available with matchless compassion and unconditional love. He lives in a valley on the outskirts of Madanapalli in Andra Pradesh but is often on the move travelling far and wide for lectures. He writes and paints when he is not away from his house “Snow White” in Madanpalli. Although not formally trained in music, ‘M’ sings beautiful bhajans in mellifluous tunes. He is a ‘grihasta’ not a monk, and has a wife and two children.
“Go to the core” he says, “Theories are unless”.
Kundalini, is considered by the Tantras, as the manifestation in the human being, of the infinite Supreme Energy called ‘Parashakti’ or Bhavani. It is said to reside in potent form, not kinetic, at the base of the spinal cord of all human beings, coiled like a spring or in the Tantric symbology, as a snake turned three-and-a-half times around itself and waiting to be awakened by the spiritual practitioner. The rising of the Kundalini is the rising from the gross to the subtle and the subtler levels until a yogi reaches the super conscious state.
