Welcome Home

I am Ray 'Raghunath' Cappo

 

From punk rock to ashram life and touring internationally as a yoga teacher, my journey has been driven by an undeniable pull toward meaning, discipline, self-reflection, and devotion.

What you’ll find here is drawn from lived experience, long study, and years of teaching yoga, Bhakti, and offering direction to seekers on pilgrimage.

Mission of Bhakti: The Heart of Yoga

 

Bhakti is the beautiful practice of moving the ego out of the center of our lives and placing the Divine there instead. Rooted in loving service, it shifts us from self-absorption toward unity, allowing us to recognize the same spark of divinity in all beings—beyond divisions of friend and enemy, nation or nature.

Through this practice, we remember our true identity as eternal, intuitive spirit souls, meant not to hoard or divide, but to give love freely. This current of devotion informs how we practice yoga, relate to one another, care for the earth, and live our daily lives. Honored by the sages as the highest form of yoga, Bhakti is the forgotten inner truth of the tradition—one we are here to restore as the essence of yoga and of life itself.
