The article is devoted to the study of the possibilities of using the axiological potential of vedic thanatology in the context of a worldview crisis. The purpose of the article is to reveal the axiological potential of vedic thanatology in the context of the crisis of modern worldview positions, the philosophical development of human existence. The study was conducted in the framework of a critical analysis of European philosophy, modern worldview crisis, the consideration of ancient Indian philosophy, in terms of Puranic writings, Katha Upanishad, Garuda Purana, Srimad-Bhagavatam, Bhagavad Gita, Vairagya-Shatakam, Briharadaranyaka Upanishadi, heuristic synthesis, comparative approach in the study of Eastern and Western approaches and theoretical generalization. The article is devoted to a philosophical study of the causes of the objective need for stabilization, harmonization of the state of modern society through of the socio-philosophical analysis of the axiological foundations of vedic anthropology as a resource of modern worldview potential. In the light of the formation of a new philosophical paradigm, it is necessary to use the whole worldview diversity of the treasury of world philosophical thought; therefore, ancient vedic spiritual knowledge may be interesting from the point of view of applying this sacred knowledge. The authors point to an obvious link between the crisis state of the modern worldview and the comprehension of the fact not only of one’s own life, but also of death. Thanatology as a science of death and life allows one to be aware of the fact of one’s own existence and even of dying. The key idea of the authors is the importance of the formation of the correct worldview already throughout life; the vedic knowledge cultivates the choice of conscious existence.
