Some stories are so powerful, they change the way we see the world. This is one of them.
In this episode of Thrive Yoga Fit Transformational Coaching, I have the absolute honor of sitting down with Raghunath Ray Cappo—a man who has lived at the edges of intensity, from the raw energy of punk rock to the deep devotion of Bhakti Yoga.
Once the frontman of Youth of Today and Shelter, Raghunath lived and breathed the chaos of the punk scene before walking away from it all to immerse himself in a world of devotion, discipline, and spiritual awakening. He spent six and a half years as a monk in an ashram, and now, years later, he teaches others how to integrate ancient wisdom into everyday life.
✨ In this conversation, we dive into:
💥 How punk rock and Bhakti Yoga are more connected than you’d think
🎶 The electrifying energy of Kirtan—like a mosh pit, but infused with love
🌍 His sacred journey through India—Rishikesh, Mayapur, Jaipur—where devotion pulses through the streets
🥋 The surprising connection between Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and spirituality
💡 The magic of living with both structure and spontaneity
Hearing Raghunath speak is like sitting around a fire, listening to a traveler who has walked the long road and returned with wisdom. His story is living proof that transformation is not just possible—it’s inevitable when we surrender to something greater.
This is just Part 1 of our conversation, and trust me, you won’t want to miss what’s coming next.
