A contemporary spiritual path for global harmony
In every sense of the term Sri Chinmoy is one of India's great yogis: a selfless pilgrim-soul who brings a powerful message – he seeks to fulfil mankind’s dream of a united and harmonious world. In celebrating over 40 years of dedicated service to humanity in the West, seventy-five year old Sri Chinmoy has inspired the lives, touched the hearts and given fresh hope to countless numbers of seekers around the globe. His humble, unconditional service-life is dedicated to inspiring and encouraging all seekers to strive for world-harmony.
Sri Chinmoy teaches that as innately divine beings we all have the capacity of realising the full potential of our limitless Self. To foster this belief Sri Chinmoy through a variety of global initiatives enthusiastically fosters spirituality and personal development through self-transcendence, meditation, prayer and selfless-service, where aspiring seekers benefit from the blossoming of the spiritual heart when bringing forward the best in themselves. Helping them to realise a higher meaning, uniqueness, beauty and purpose in their lives.
Sri Chinmoy sees the heart's ceaseless yearning for ever higher realities combined with the unlimited potential of the human spirit as the spiritual driving-force behind humanity's most inspiring and greatest achievements. He also shows by his example that spirituality is perfectly natural and normal, a means by which individuals and nations can grow into their full potential.
This contemporary philosophy is open to all seekers, no matter what faith, cultural heritage or nationality they may be. Sri Chinmoy sees humanity as one, families of brothers and sisters working with respect and support for the benefit of all. He teaches that once we access then manifest our highest nature, that part free from the doubts, frustrations and disappointments inherent in the physical mind, we the seeker shall be free to offer self-givingly, enthusiastically and willingly our heart’s compassion, concern and love.
For this truth to be a success individuals need to aspire for something greater in their lives. The process for this self-transformation and the resulting happiness and associated benefits become an inspirational force that radiates out from that individuals achievements to others, inspiring them to look at their own lives to see where they too can make the changes to bring about self-improvement. And so on and so on until there is a positive, dynamic and spontaneous wave of universal self-transcendence flowing from individual to individual, from nation to nation. Not restricted by international borders or single ideology this embracing philosophy shall ultimately flourish with the climbing aspirations of all humankind, thus ending a period of great turmoil, hate, greed and unhappiness on our earth-planet.
