His father was a doctor who travelled around the country. As a child, Jaggi was high spirited with a streak of rebelliousness. He was easily bored with school and would frequently play truant and appear fearless in the face of authority. Rather than spend time in school, he would often wander off on his own to the countryside and become absorbed in nature.

He owned a bicycle and would frequently cycle on long tours. He loved sports and outdoor pursuits and was interested in maintaining the best physical health. From the age of 13, he took up hatha yoga after meeting a year-old yogi who displayed great physical dexterity. His fearlessness and physical strength led to a lucrative job as a snake catcher.

He would not use a stick but just catch snakes with his bare hands. He has had a lifelong closeness to snakes and the snake world.
