The 1980s Himalayan yogi narratives surrounding Sri M’s childhood visions

Record summary

Sri M’s later autobiographical narratives recount childhood and young-adult encounters with yogic teachers, dreams, visions, and journeys associated with Himalayan spiritual lineages. Although the best-known book was published much later, the narrated episodes are placed in South Asia before and during the 1980s and can be checked against his talks and organizational biographies. They matter for comparison with guru-disciple initiation stories and modern autobiographical apocrypha. The chronology is retrospective, and the identity or historicity of some Himalayan teachers remains dependent on the author’s account.
