VasuDhaiva Kutumbakam
Posted on: January 22, 2007
I have been blogging for nearly a year now…..how I came to be, is another long story, which I will tell some other time.
During this journey I have come across several interesting people, all of who are very knowledgeable and multifaceted. Each person has a special talent and all of them are humble.
During this journey I have seen arguments and disagreements too, after all, no path is a bed of roses. But whenever an argument arose, everyone has decided to bury the hatchet and move on, letting bygones be bygones.
Among the interesting people I came across, I happened to meet Mr. P, who hails from my grandma’s native place. Since the native place was same, naturally there was a discussion about the families we knew and as would occur, Mr. P is from a very known family. I was very happy to know about this.
Things became subdued and the matter was rested. Mr. P meanwhile was speaking to another fellow blogger S, who also had associations with the same native place. I took up further on this issue with S, and voila! We both are some third cousins or so….!
I am very happy that I was able to revive a long lost relationship and it feels great to know that people I knew as friends turn out to be close relations of mine.
It is truly a small World. No wonder there is a saying in Sanskrit, “VasuDhaiva Kutumbakam”, meaning, “All the World is One Family”.

Vani's Musings 
January 22, 2007 at 6:32 am
some tangential thoughts vani…
a) Every organisum has cells as its centrepoint of activity and the life force within is the same across the spectrum – From the low cast virus/bacteria to the super human being. Remove this LIFE or CHAITANYA and its all over.
b) Every chaitanya is part of the universal god, a force which balances beautifully across time and dimension. Lack of one will upset others – biological studies have shown and proven this fact over millions of years.
c) We need to respect each and every organisum with the same entusiasum and warmth irrespective of caste,creed,colour, religion,name,region blah blah…
Note: When ever i take a course of antibiotic to survive the onslaught of the Rhino virus, it pinches me in the heart that am killing something for my own LIFE… thats a point to ponder about….or is it darwins theory of “survival”??
Hope you meet more of your cousines,friends, relatives and importantly MAKE new frineds everywhere.
cheers
mohan!
