Raghunath Cappo (@raghunathyogi) is the punk who became a monk. A teen in search of meaning, Ray Cappo fled his suburban Connecticut enclave for New York City—and found community among the misfits of Manhattan’s Lower East Side. He fell in love with punk rock, so he started a band and a record label. By the late 1980’s, Youth of Today had thousands of fans, cementing Ray as a leading voice and trendsetter at the bullseye of hardcore culture. However, a growing existential itch led Ray to call it quits. At just 22, he walked away from his band and label and decamped for India—a spiritual pilgrimage that led him to the holy village of Vrindavan where he would become Raghunath. Ultimately Raghunath returned to the States. Now married with 5 kids, he leads spiritual quests throughout India, teaches yoga training in upstate New York at his Supersoul Yoga and Farm.  This is the incredible story of a modern day yogi who has a lot of wisdom to share around how we can improve our lives through connection and service.
