It was built in honor of the famous Indian philosopher-humanist, preacher, artist, poet and writer Sri Chinmoy. At the age of 12, Sri Chinmoy joined the Sri Aurobindo spiritual community. From that moment on, his whole life was devoted to the study of hidden divine powers in order to reveal the inner energy and knowledge of man and make it better. With his followers he came to many countries, repeatedly visited Prague.
In 2007, Sri Chinmoy passed away. Two years later, in many cities around the world, including the Czech capital, monuments appeared as a tribute to his memory and respect for his enlightened teachings.
The author of the sculpture is a physics teacher from London, Kaivalya Torpy. He was a friend and disciple of Sri Chinmoy. In his interviews he always emphasized that the support of his spiritual teacher helped him to become a sculptor.
Inspired by the ideas and philosophical teachings of man, whose mantras, mind and heart were dedicated to Peace and Universal Harmony, in 2009 Kaivalya created a monument in his honor.
Sculpture without intentional effect, simply and naturally fit into the natural environment, located among the calm surface of the river, sky and trees.
The full-length figure of a man dressed in traditional Indian clothing is depicted at the time of meditation. The preacher's handsome face is not only stern but also good. His pose is calm and solemn. And the hands folded in a prayerful gesture - as a sign of involvement in the Supreme Mind, which gives all living things the meaning of existence.
