Mooji

Mooji was born Tony Moo-Young in Port Antonio, Jamaica, in 1954. His mother migrated to the UK as one of the windrush generation when he was one year old. He was raised by his father and his mother’s cousin. Mooji’s father died when he was eight, and he was raised by a strict uncle until he moved to London to be with his mother as a teenager.

Mooji worked as a street artist and an art teacher until 1993, when he quit and went traveling in India, and attended the satsangs of the Indian guru Papaji. He became a spiritual teacher in 1999 when a group of spiritual seekers became his students, and began to produce books, CDs, and videos of his teachings.

Mooji owns a large property in the Alentejo region of Portugal where he has established an ashram called Monte Sahaj. He also runs a UK-based charity, known as the Mooji Foundation Ltd.
