Life
Anthony Paul Moo-Young, known as Mooji, was born in Jamaica in 1954. In his teens he moved to the UK and is presently living in Brixton, London. For a long time, he was known as Tony Moo, but is now affectionately known as Mooji by the many seekers and friends who visit him and attend his retreats and open satsangs in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Germany, the USA, Brazil, Argentina, India or listen to him via YouTube.

In 1987, Mooji met by chance a Christian mystic and this encounter changed his life completely. A direct experience of the divine and a radical shift in consciousness resulted and finally he started giving satsang.

Mooji is a direct disciple of Sri Harilal Poonja, the renowned advaita master, or Papaji, as his followers call him. In 1994 Mooji travelled to Sri Ramanasramam in Tiruvannamalai. The ashram at the foot of Arunachala, the 'Hill of Fire', is the place where Sri Ramana Maharshi, the Sage of Arunachala and Papaji's Guru, had lived and taught.

Since 1999, Mooji has been sharing satsang with the many seekers from all parts of the world, in search of the direct experience of truth. Presently Mooji shares satsang in Brixton, London, where he lives. Currently he travels regularly to Ireland, Spain, Brasil, North America and India where he conducts satsang meetings, intensives and retreats. He is ever open to meeting sincere seekers of truth, whatever their background.

Message
Mooji invites everybody to take a fresh look at him- or herself and to ponder the question “Who am I”, the very question Ramana Maharshi left to mankind. Mooji shows the way to pure awareness; he sows the seed for everyone listening to him to start questioning all assumptions about him- or herself and about life and helps to realise that everyone is the creator of his or her own suffering. Mooji speaks as pure consciousness to consciousness.
