According to Shree Montenegro, the General Manager of Mooji Foundation, there are 20 to 40 people living full-time in the ashram. A fire at the ashram in 2017 required the evacuation of close to 150 people. Activities at the ashram are funded through the UK-based charity Mooji Foundation Ltd., which reported an income of £1.5 million in 2018 (of which nearly £600,000 came from 'donations and legacies'), as well as through income from its trading subsidiaries Mooji Media Ltd in the UK, and Associação Mooji Sangha and Jai Sahaja in Portugal. Mooji offers satsang where he invites people to bring forward questions and contemplate or inquire into their "real nature" based on the advaita vedanta philosophy of nondualism. Mooji aims to bring people into the direct experience of who or what they are, which he says is not the body, thoughts, emotions or anything that is perceivable, but rather the "pure, untouched space in which everything arises." He teaches that we are already this "timeless being" or "pure consciousness" and that it is possible to recognise this and come into a "natural harmony," which can also be termed "awakening" or "freedom." Mooji encourages his followers to avoid the "psychological mind's" influence and abide in the "Self", which he says is the untouched witness of all phenomenal existence and therefore before any "thing", including thoughts and all that is perceived. Mooji teaches self-inquiry, directing his students to the "non-dual Self" by encouraging them to question who or what they are at the "deepest level." For example, one exercise is to identify the natural feeling "I am" or "I exist" and to stay with this for some time. Another is to come to the recognition that everything (thoughts, emotions, sensations etc.) can be perceived, and then inquiring, "Can the perceiver itself be perceived?" Mooji was called a "Global peddler of metaphysical mumbo-jumbo" in a 22 May 2017 article in Indian publication Outlook.
