" YATRA VISWAM BHAVATI EKA NEEDAM "

 

--ATHRVANA VEDA

 

" Where the world is like a nest of birds " , the universal concept

envisaged in Vedas is of great significance. Every where in the

Vedas, the peace of world, the welfare of the people is stressed and

nowhere any parochial fragmented concept is to be found. The

universalism lies in every saying of the Vedas.

 

The present text describes the world as a " nest of birds " we have

now the " global`village " concept. World history is replete with wars

between nations, leading to untold sufferings to the people and

unnecessary devastation. The horrors of war are more pronounced on

the common man rather than the higher strata of society. Racism,

national fanaticism, bigotry, territorial aggrandizement forms the

bane of the peaceful existence in the world.

 

Now, World Organizations like UNO` and Human Rights Organizations

and Red Cross bring fresh breeze of love, companionship and

understanding tolerance to the various states of the world. While

nations may maintain their national characteristics, it is in the

interest of the world, these should promote steps towards world

peace, which helps each and every nation in the end.
