Shades of Rituals & Beliefs- Guest, Mooji

Mooji is a Master in the Advaita tradition—the path of non-duality which states that there is but one single reality, one source from – and in which – the manifest worlds of names and forms appear. Anthony Paul Moo-Young (Mooji) was born in 1954 in Port Antonio, Jamaica. He moved to England in 1969 and is presently living in London He is a direct disciple of Sri Harilal Poonja (Papaji), the renowned Indian Master, who, in the lineage of Ramana Maharshi (the sage of Arunachala) made the introspective path of Self-inquiry widely available as a direct way to freedom. Mooji, like them, continues this revolutionary simplicity of teaching by pointing directly to imageless truth, combining the sharpness of Zen with the depth and clarity of Advaita. Mooji’s spiritual consciousness opened following an encounter with a Christian mystic in 1987. Sitting at Sri Poonja’s feet six years later, the words of his SatGuru – “If you wish to realize truth, you must completely disappear” – finally plunged what was left of his personal mind into the emptiness of Source. Since 1999, Mooji has been sharing satsang in the form of spontaneous encounters, retreats, intensives, and Skype meetings with the many seekers who visit him from all parts of the world, in search of the immediate experience of truth. His style is direct, clear, compassionate and humorous. The force of Mooji’s presence infuses his dialogues with authority and clarity. Seekers put forward their most burning questions regarding the challenge of existence and the search for truth; Mooji’s answers chop heads and kindle hearts.
