Mooji is a direct disciple of Sri Harilal Poonja (Papaji). A chance meeting with a Christian mystic in 1987 was life-changing. It brought him, through prayer, to the direct experience of the Divine within. Mooji soon experienced a radical shift in consciousness so profound that he seemed, to many who knew him, to be an entirely different person. A deep inner transformation began with miraculous experiences and mystical insights. A strong wind of change blew through his life and brought a deep urge to surrender completely to divine will. He stopped teaching to begin a life of quiet simplicity and surrender to the will of God as it manifested spontaneously within him. A great peace entered his being and has remained ever since.
