Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam: World is One Family

Creating a New World Order in 21st Century

The majority of people in the world lived through the culture of conflicts & violence during the twentieth century. It is unfortunate that the twenty first century too has started in an environment of hostilities and holocaust. In the post 9/11 world, we find ourselves in what some have called a global human crisis - crisis of humanity. & earth planet.

As we know that the world has been transformed into a global village. Globalization is having a major impact not only on the business world but also on the whole humanity. Global recession, Global warming, climate change, poverty, conflict and violence are the main challenges that have dominated the first decade of the 21st century.

Humanity is facing a terrible challenge of its own existence. The 19th century was known as Industrial Revolution and 20th century – century of Globalization: population explosion, increasing poverty & ‘Information Technology Revolution’ & also century of Conflicts & Wars.

Human values are eroding at very fast rate resulting in declining the quality of life & people. At the dawn of the new millennium, there is greater need for Indian philosophy of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam: World is One Family’ for the welfare of humankind in 21st century.

Present Scenario & World Crisis :

Where we are….

At present we are living in fast changing, modernizing and globalizing society with mix population – different Religions, race, culture, faith, etc

Presently we are living in the Age of darkness (Age of Kali- Yuga ) means age of Fear & Insecurity , also known as also Age of Globalization –increasing poverty & inequality and age of violence, wars & terrorism due to erosion of human values...

Humanity is faced with common enormous social & environmental challenges (relational problem, moral, victimizes all, threatens dignity, life and existence, caused by culture).

We are living in world of crisis i.e. crisis of poverty, educational crisis, economical crisis, crisis of environmental degradation, cultural crisis and crisis of human values. In total sum –we are facing Crisis of Peace and peaceful co-existence.

Call of the Time:

There is greater need of Vasudheiva Kutumbkam - World as one family’ for peaceful coexistence & creating a new era of Peace & Prosperity in the world; It is the time for all the social leaders, Youth leaders , Religious leaders & educational leaders to think together for a new vision of Vasudheiva Kutumbkam - World as one family’ & work together to convert this vision into action for peace building & developing harmonious relationship between communities, groups & between the nations.

Eastern & Western Philosophy:

We have built a society, which is violent & explosive .We are living in extremely explosive times where the context of human life is changing every moment. Our society is crumbling; the wave of destruction is constantly taking over the way of life. The ecological crisis, population increase with increasing poverty, hunger & violence, economically unbalanced world, arm race & expenditure on armament are facing man to think & face the realities of destruction of humanity

1. Globalization “World is one Market”:

From western point of view the Globalization means: “World is one Market” - People’s motto is only Profit oriented. This the age of Globalization i.e. age of corruption , conflicts & violence due to decreasing human Values . This has created culture of Materialism.

2. “Vasudheiva Kutumbkam i.e. “World is one family”

From Eastern point of view we believe “VASUDHEIVA KUTUMBKAM i.e. World is one family - means that the whole world is one single family, which promotes global citizenship and culture of peace through Ancient Wisdom.

Vasudheiva Kutumbkam - World is but one family’

India has been a messenger of peace even in past as it was India that mooted the very idea of “Vasudheva Kutumbkam” that is, ‘the whole world is but one family’

The whole objective of a society is to work towards the philosophy of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam. The moment there is a gap in the feeling of oneness in the society it may give rise to injustice and depletion of peace in the society.

• Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam is a philosophy that inculcates an understanding that the whole world is one family. It is a philosophy that tries to foster an understanding that the whole of humanity is one family. It is a social philosophy emanating from a spiritual understanding that the whole of humanity is made of one life energy from one higher source-Creator, God, or Allah.
