Image via WikipediaThe Concept of World as One Family is the most ancient concept that Indian Philosophers and Thinkers introduced for world peace, welfare and development. This concept is popularly known as "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (Sanskrit: वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम. from "vasudha", the earth; "eva" = emphasizer and "kutumbakam", "family") is a Sanskrit phrase [1] that means that the whole world is one single family.[2] " (With thanks from the source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasudhaiva_Kutumbakam)
Some of most precious words as said: "This concept finds its mention in the literature of Hindu organizations. The literature says "This gigantic idea(Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam) is an exclusively Indian contribution to world peace. This ancient nation evolved a world-view based on the motto "Loka samasta sukhina bhavantu" (Let the entire world be happy) thousands of years before any League of Nations or United Nations was thought of to avoid global strife. The Indian nation evolved this grand vision not by marching its armies and conquering the rest and offering peace; but by the inner-directed pursuit of universal values by the Rishis living in the forests and mountains of India.
The well-being of all, in short, is the Indian mission. It is not limited to the residents of Bharat or the adherents of any particular faith or creed. That is why Bharat received with open arms all faiths and people fleeing persecution-whether it was the Jews, Parsis, Muslims or Christians-and preserved and protected them long before any other civilization could think short of exterminating those who differed from the ruling faiths and people." [3]
Hindutva ideologue M S Golwalkar says, "it is not the modern thinkers who are the first in the field to think in terms of world unity and universal welfare. Long 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".[6]" (With thanks from the source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasudhaiva_Kutumbakam)
Whatever is said above is the most ideal concept of World as a family that also has been proposed as New World Order, but in the concept of Family, yes the World Family order is least important and coexistence is. As all Indian Religions, Faiths and Philopsies, and thus theories and priciples that we also know as natural laws and priciples support it.
The coexistence seems to follow Law of Affinity about which I have done lots of studies concerning World Religions, Faiths, Philosophies and faculties of knowledge and concluded that in wisdom. In My research work named Philselfology the conclusion is that any kind of knowledge no matter how conflciting can coexist.
So, the Indian Concept of One World Family Seems Better Alternative to New World Order. That is why the new concepts of New Age and New Era or Interfaith may not meet these high standards even though all have ideals as if taken from Law of Affinity, the Coexistence as discussed above.
Thanks for your time reading it.
