Understanding Universalism through Gorakh and Gorakh Sutras

Abstract

“Nationalism is a great sin. It is because of this Nationalism that all sorts of problems continue in the world. I am not a Nationalist. I want to demolish all boundaries,” said Osho, “For anyone on this earth who has ever gained even a small glimpse of the divine there can be no boundaries. Such a person does not belong to any country, any race, any class, any color, any sect, any caste, any religion. They belong to all; all belong to them. With IT revolution we are breaking all barriers and boundaries. The wall of Germany has been brought down. European union is also a similar step. We are talking about global village. Time has come to move from Nationalism to Universalism. Centuries ago India called for Vasudha-ev-kutumbkam. In the present study the authors have tried to explore few Gorakhsutras which point towards Universalism-a term beyond Nationalism.
