THE CONCEPT OF SPIRITUAL HEART IN SRI CHINMOY’S PHILOSOPHY

Abstract

The paper is devoted to discovering the semantic content of the concept of spiritual heart in the philosophy of the outstanding representative of the Indian culture, the largest thinker, the yogi and spiritual master Sri Chinmoy (1931 – 2007). The problem of the ontological status of spiritual heart, which has little been studied in philosophy so far, is brought to the fore. The author analyzes Sri Chinmoy's ideas about the role of this anthropological structure in the further evolutionary movement of a human being in the context of universal oneness existence.
