Vasudhaiva Kutumbakkam

India’s Cultural Supremacy

“ India is the cradle of the human race
The birthplace of human speech
The grandmother of legends
And the great grandmother of tradition ” ~ Mark Twain

Eternal kaleidoscopic India is known for her ancient, indigenous, powerful knowledge systems & unique incredible culture.
A resurgent modern India will need to harness this powerhouse of indigenous knowledge, as she soars to take her rightful place on the world stage.

India’s cultural renaissance is overdue. A knowledge sharing movement where Indians live their culture and values with pride, becoming ambassadors of the loftiest human thought, Vasudhaiva Kutumbakkam.

The Vasudhaiva Kutumbakkam Principle is Vedic India’s Gift to the humanity.

One World One Family

What affects one ultimately affects all

As siblings are born unto common parents, so also all creation springs forth from Vasudha or Earth! Verily, she is hailed as “Mother Earth”.

Life on Earth is one large, diverse, grand, glorious family. Irrespective of the splendid and apparent diversity of the planet, the source is but one; Mother Earth.

This truth is articulated as a beautiful verse in the Maha Upanishad – “ Vasudhaiva Kutumbakkam ” : One World One Family.

We are in this TOGETHER!

Only small men discriminate saying
One is a relative; the other is a stranger.
For those who live magnanimously,
the entire world constitutes but a family.

The Sculpture

Vasudhaiva Kutumbakkam : Circle of Harmony

Art is a lucid song where words are a stammer!
Never more true than with the Vasudhaiva Kutumbakkam sculpture.

The Circle of Harmony is a giant Sculptural Installation that symbolises a borderless world where faith & nations states are but a grid in the eternal circle of life.

This critically acclaimed Sculpture was especially created as a magnificent title piece for an Exhibition Titled Vsudhaiva Kutumbakam – From the Form to the Formless.

The sculpture is currently on display @ IGNCA, New Delhi.
