Sri Chinmoy

Sri Chinmoy » Born Chinmoy Kumar Ghose in the small village of Shakpura in East Bengal (now Bangladesh) in 1931, Sri Chinmoy was the youngest of seven children. In 1944, after both his parents had died, 12 year-old Chinmoy entered the Sri Aurobindo Ashram, a spiritual community near Pondicherry in South India. Here he spent the next 20 years in spiritual practice - including long hours of meditation, practising athletics, writing poetry, essays and spiritual songs. Today, Sri Chinmoy serves as spiritual guide to students in some 60 countries around the world, encouraging a balanced lifestyle that incorporates the inner disciplines of prayer and meditation with the dynamism of contemporary life. Sri Chinmoy's life is an expression of boundless creativity. His vast output spans the domains of music, poetry, painting, literature and sports.

  1. Hello.

    In my opinion Chinmoy was deluded. I refer you to the entry for 18th August 1965 of "Mother's Agenda" (Vol. VI). It can be read online in English at the following link:

    I also refer you to a website (a Yahoo group) which gives a voice to former disciples of Chinmoy:

    http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Sri_Chinmoy_Information/

    Some important and striking testimonies of the experiences of former disciples have been assembled in the section "Files". To view this section one must first join the group. These testimonies can be read without joining the group but they are spread out within several thousand messages. It is easy to leave the group at any stage should one wish to do so.

    Should you decide to join this group (or any other Yahoo group) please consider the information about Web Beacons at the following link:

    Thank you.
