GLOBAL FAMILY

AND

NAMASMARAN

DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

With rapid development of technology and especially the rapid telecommunication and transportation; we are already in a process of realizing the eternal wisdom of VASUDHAIVA KUTUMBAKAM; which means the world is one familyobviously a joyous and affectionate family with congenial atmosphere! But our ideologies, philosophies, religions, laws, conventions, traditions and every transaction for that matter; are subjective. They are either individualistic controlled by basal instincts or authoritarian and restrictive. Often we are ruled by whims and fancies. Moreover there are racial, religious, atheistic, national, cultural, linguistic and other prejudices. Thus; the discipline at global and personal level is variably illogical, idiosyncratic, coercive, and bizarre and not conducive to individual and universal blossoming. Actually it leads to stress and deterioration in global and individual life. To overcome this stress; we have to be universal beings with holistic perspective, policies, plans, programs and modalities of implementation. We need to grow more objective, more natural, more universal and more accurate, for universal justice and VSAUDHAIVA KUTUMBAKAM. Can the practice and promotion of NAMASMARAN at individual, institutional and government levels; help in this?
