Sri Chinmoy
Sri Chinmoy (born
1931), né
Chinmoy Kumar Ghose, is an
Indian philosopher and religious teacher (
guru). He was the youngest of seven children, born in Shakpura in
East Bengal (now
Bangladesh), and moved to
New York City in 1964. He now lives in
Jamaica in
Queens County, New York. 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 twenty years in spiritual practice. For a while, he was an interfaith chaplain at the

cult organization.
