Mooji (born Anthony Paul Moo-Young, 1954) is a Jamaican-born British spiritual teacher in the Advaita Vedanta tradition. A former student of Sri H.W.L. Poonja (Papaji), who was himself a devotee of Ramana Maharshi, Mooji teaches through direct pointings that invite seekers to recognize their true nature as pure, unchanging awareness.

What Does Mooji Teach?

Mooji's central teaching is the invitation to recognize that you are not the person you take yourself to be but the awareness in which all experience appears. He uses guided self-inquiry, asking students to notice who or what is aware of their thoughts, feelings, and perceptions. This direct investigation, rather than accumulating knowledge, is his primary method.

What Is Mooji's Teaching Style?

Mooji teaches primarily through satsang (gatherings in truth), where seekers ask questions and he responds with pointings designed to redirect attention from the content of experience to the awareness that witnesses it. His style is warm, humorous, and direct, combining the rigor of Advaita Vedanta with Caribbean warmth and accessibility.
