Vasudeva Kutumbakam

"Aaiam Najaha ParoVeti Laghu Chetasam Udara Charitanamtu Vasudeva Kutumbakam".re are these people who distinguish and classify others as either their own or different from them.

Whereas there exists another class of people who say that the entire creation of God is one family i.e. Vasudeva Kutumbakam.

Largely drawn from the Panchatantra, The Hitopadesa is a series of connected fables mixed with lessons on morality, prudence and politics.

The Hitopadesa belongs to that class of compositions which aim at teaching the principles of polity guided by morality as far as possible, presenting them in the more agreeable form of stories. Every fable in the Hitopadesa can still be applied to human character; every maxim quoted from the wise men years ago, when parted from the local accidents of form, might find its time for being quoted even now
