Spirituality exists in the heart and the mind of men and women everywhere, with
in religious traditions and independently of tradition. The aim of the present research
was to study the spiritual intelligence of elderly people. For this purpose 200 senior
citizens were selected from different living status i.e. living with family (N=100) and
living in old age homes (N=100). Findings revealed that no significant difference was
found between seniors citizens living with family & living in old age homes regarding
overall spiritual-intelligence. Whereas, results indicated significant differences at many
domains of spiritual intelligence such as, GOD and religsity, soul, self awareness,
interpersonal relations, spirituality in leadership, helping behaviour, flexibility, ability
to use and overcome suffering, ability to transcent pain and being spiritually intelligent
about death
