Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam means "vasudha", the earth "eva" = emphasizer and "kutumbakam", "family" is a Sanskrit phrase that means that the whole world is one single family. As the days are passing the world is shrinking smaller and smaller, it is good technology is connecting people across the world and we are all connected.
On the other hand Global warming is also shrinking the world there are many studies going on to fix the problem. Social responsibilities, lifestyle, Education and Politics are the 4 major factors for today’s world.
The question needs to be asked by every citizen how can we make this world a better place and contribute.
Truly in today's "flat" world these ancient Sanskrit words really find a resonance.
ReplyDeleteGiridhar, nowhere do I feel your message is more poignant than here in China, where Blogspot is blocked by the government. Of course, with the right technology the Chinese people can easily bypass the roadblocks set up by their leaders and join the rest of us in Vasudhaiva Kutumbakan. Congratulations on your blog and good luck with spreading your ideas. You're bookmarked here! Thomas S.

ReplyDeleteSocial responsibility is not only one person's baby but is of each & every person. This can happen only with thoughts of oneness or being one.... I wish to quote these lines from Mankuthimmana kagga & give all the support for the beginning of this lovely cause.
