About this Event

A talk, live Q&A and kīrtan with Ray “Raghunath” Cappo, punk pioneer turned monk. Thursday, Oct 22 at Downward Dog Yoga Centre.


From Punk to Monk

He was at the centre of New York’s hardcore punk scene. Then he walked away to chase a bigger question: what makes a life truly meaningful?

Join Ray “Raghunath” Cappo for an evening at Downward Dog Yoga Centre. Ray founded the influential band Youth of Today, spent years as a monk in India, and now teaches bhakti yoga around the world. He is also the author of the memoir From Punk to Monk.

He’ll share his journey from packed concert stages to ashram life, and what he learned along the way about purpose, discipline, identity and lasting fulfilment.

What to expect

  • A warm, honest talk with plenty of humour
  • Open Q&A, so bring your questions
  • Live kīrtan, sing along or simply listen
  • Timeless wisdom for modern life
  • A welcoming space for everyone, whatever your background or beliefs

Whether you love music, are curious about yoga, or just want a fresh perspective, come as you are.

Thursday, October 22, 7 to 8:30 PM
Downward Dog Yoga Centre, 30 Ossington Avenue, Toronto

Come curious. Leave inspired.
