Sandhyavad: A Neo-Humanistic Global Philosophy: - A Critical Exploration of Political, Social, Economic, And Spiritual Integration

Abstract In the contemporary global order, marked by moral disorientation, socio-political fragmentation, ecological crises, and psychological alienation, the need for an integrative philosophical paradigm has become imperative. Sandhyavad, conceptualized as a neo-humanistic global philosophy, offers a holistic framework that bridges the dichotomy between materialism and spirituality. Rooted in the symbolic essence of twilight (Sandhya), it advocates equilibrium between individual introspection and collective responsibility. This paper critically examines Sandhyavad through political, social, economic, and spiritual dimensions, situating it within global intellectual traditions including the works of Sri Aurobindo, Swami Vivekananda, and Mahatma Gandhi. Employing a qualitative and interpretative methodology, the study highlights its relevance in addressing 21st-century challenges such as "Modern Nihilism" and the "Crisis of Consciousness." The findings suggest that Sandhyavad provides a viable ethical model for fostering sustainable development, inclusive governance, and inner transformation, ultimately envisioning a Viksit Vishwa, Evolved World.
