Viswamaanava is a Hindu cultural ideology. Viswa means universal and maanava means human. This ideology is inherent in all Indian scriptures, culture, and traditions. It is extensively discussed and partially practised in Advaita Vedanta traditions. Many great intellectuals lived by this principle and contributed to the welfare of the underprivileged sections of society.
