Ray Cappo (Raghunath Das) had his spiritual search beginning early and first found expression in the hardcore punk scene, where he founded the band Youth of Today and co-founded Revelation Records, building an international movement rooted in clean living and self-discipline. Yet even at the height of success, he felt called to something deeper. At 22, he left it all behind and traveled to Vrindavan, immersing himself in yoga, sacred study, and devotional life under the guidance of respected teachers. Initiated into the Vaishnava lineage in 1991 and given the name Raghunath, he spent over six years living as a monk, fully devoted to spiritual practice.
Today, he lives and teaches the integration of spiritual depth with everyday life. As co-founder of Supersoul Farm and co-host of the Wisdom of the Sages podcast, he leads pilgrimages, teacher trainings, and retreats around the world. His work blends sacred texts, kirtan, philosophy, and practical application for modern seekers. His mission is simple: to share the transformative power of the yoga tradition with integrity, gratitude, and heart.
