Vasundhaiv Kutumbikam, ―the world is one
family‖

2. Need of the Hour
2
A message, which is powerful
enough to influence the
whole mankind in bringing
about a radical spiritual
revolution in the world.
The main concern of the
world today is peace and
harmony. The path that the
world has until now
traversed in pursuit of
technological mastery, has
imperiled peace.

4. Ramkrishna Paramhansa’s
inspiration

Ramakrishna practised several
religions, including Islam and
Christianity, and taught that in
spite of the differences, all
religions are valid and true and
they lead to the same ultimate
goal—God.

5. Swami ji’s inspiration
―One Human
World by Human
Culture.‖
5
Realizations regarding the
harmful developments of
the world should dawn upon
every nation in the world. To
solve all the problems and
achieve social justice, the
creation of One Human
World as a home is
necessary, which is
possible only by human
culture and not by politics or
religion or science and
technology alone.
His teachings set in motion those forces,
which could eventually bring to the
Western civilization the needed
qualitative changes. So he preached
Vedanta and Yoga in the West, and at
home emphasized the need for useful
and dynamic activity, the education of the
Indian masses and the service of the poor
and the downtrodden without disturbing
their faith and tradition".

6. Other Thinkers
6
There are/were more thinkers who taught not only
Indian but also whole world like Mahatma Gandhi,
Jawahar Lal Nehru, Dr Abdul kalam. It is not the
modern thinkers who are the first in the field to think in
terms of world unity and universal welfare. Long ago,
in fact, long before the so-called modern age had set
in, the seers and savants of this land had delved deep
into this vital question. The ideal of human unity, of a
world free from all traces of conflict and misery, has
stirred our hearts since times immemorial".

7. How world is a
family



peoples are connected with one
another by a network of contacts and
obligations, visible and invisible Every
one of us is a citizen of the world; each
nation is a branch of the human race.
Geographical, racial and linguistic
barriers blur, but cannot destroy the
fundamental unity of mankind.
there is a fundamental unity in this
Universe and this basic unity
interconnects all 12/18/2013 mind and
matters,

The World Community as a Family

9. If love and agreement are manifest in a single family,
that family will advance, become illumined and
spiritual.
The Family
9

The family, as the most
basic unit of society, must
in this process be remolded
and revitalized according to
the same principles that
are reshaping civilization
as a whole, family unity
combines elements of
traditional wisdom with
progressive principles and
practical tools.

10. The World
10

Compare the nations of the world to the
members of a family. A family is a nation in
miniature. Simply enlarge the circle of the
household and you have the nation. Enlarge the
circle of nations and you have all humanity.

vasundhaiva kutumbakam -- 'the world is one
family' -- the message that Swami Vivekananda
dilated upon at the Parliament of Religions in
Chicago in 1893.

11. This world is my home
11

For peaceful Healthy Life one need Equality,
Brotherhood and Freedom.That’s the rule of
Mother nature and we have to follow it. in fact is
needful in today’s scenario. Every religion,
Spiritual texts and even Ayurveda says that Be
one to be healthy. Spread love to have good
Life, Do good Karma and Behave like everybody
is part of your family. Its our duty to be kind for
mankind, Lets be a family…Lets spread Love…
Lets make world Beautiful….

12. Current scenario
12
The trouble we see so much of in the world today is not so much
a clash of religions, but a clash of individual egos of people who
associate their bodily identity and cause with their religion. It is the
tendency of the human mind to cling to those people who are
similar, and claim superiority over those who are different. This
itself leads to the divisions of religion, caste, ethnic group, or race.
Thus, the tendency becomes to defend one’s own weakness,
inferiority or insecurity by unnecessarily criticizing and hurting
others to establish one’s own
sense of position and superiority.

13. Current scenario (cont….)
13
However, in these days this is often done in the
egotistical guise of defending one’s own
religion. But this ignores the very love,
compassion and tolerance that most religions
claim to represent or teach. And certainly it
ignores the very love, mutual respect and
cooperation that we seek, and that the world
depends on if we and this planet are to survive

14. Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam
14

The concept originates in the Maha Upanishad
“ayam bandhurayam neti ganana laghuchetasam
udaracharitanam tu vasudhaiva kutumbakam‖
Means -One is a relative; the other is a stranger. For those who live magnanimously
the entire world constitutes but a family.
This concept is also mentioned in Hitopadesha
12/18/2013

15. Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam
15

The statement is not just about peace and harmony among the societies in
the world, but also about a truth that somehow the whole world has to live
by some rules like a family, set by an unknowable source. This is the reason
why Hindus think that any power in the world, big or small cannot have its
way disregarding others.
12/18/2013

16. Conclusion
16

We are birds of the same nest. Wearing different skins, speaking different
languages, believing in different religions, and belonging to different cultures
– yet we share the same home, our earth. Born on the same planet, covered
by the same skies, gazing at the same stars, breathing the same air, we
must learn to progress happily together or miserably perish together. For
humans can live individually but can survive only collectively.
