Biography
Mooji was born and grew up in Port Antonio, Jamaica. In 1969, at the age of fifteen, he emigrated to England after his father died. He went to live with his mother who had been living in London since he was a baby. He taught himself to be an artist employing various media including stained glass, ceramics and sculpture. For a while he taught art at a college in Brixton.
In November 1993, he met his master, H.W.L. Poonja, known affectionately as Papaji, in Lucknow, India. Up until 2011 Mooji lived in Brixton, London. He now lives in the Alentejo region of South West Portugal.
His brother Peter Moo-Young is a national and international table tennis player for Jamaica. His sister Cherry Groce was accidentally shot by the police in 1985, which triggered the 1985 Brixton riot.

Satsangs
Mooji shares satsangs throughout the world and invites others to contemplate or inquire into their real nature. Like H.W.L. Poonja, Mooji's teachings are simple and he encourages his followers to avoid the mind's influence and abide in the Self which is the witness of all phenomenal existence and therefore before any "thing," including thoughts and all that is perceived with the five senses (citation needed). Many of his followers watch his satsang sessions through YouTube.
