The link between Vedic philosophy and globalization is examined here in the context of civilizational discourse. Though globalization is facilitating the economic, political, and cultural integration of the world, it is also raising profound issues of identity, values, and ethics. Vedic philosophy is very much a concept that offers a unique paradigm to re-conceptualize globalization rather than a material reality — as an integral part of spiritual and cultural convergence — which is encapsulated in eternal principles of spirituality like Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (the world is one family), Dharma (cosmic duty), and Ṛta (cosmic order). This study explores how Vedic philosophy can play an impoṚtant role in rewiring globalization as a fairer and more moral way to ensure more sustainable paths forward, leading to intercultural dialogue, world harmony, and environmental equilibrium. Keywords: Vedic Philosophy, Globalization, Civilizational Dialogue, Indian Knowledge System, Vasudhaiva Kuṭumbakam, Cultural Homogenization.
