Sanatan Wisdom Connects Modern Technology: Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav

Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav emphasized that India’s ancient Sanatan culture continues to guide humanity on the path of joy, contentment, and liberation. Speaking at the 12th Nanaji Memorial Lecture on “Social Implications of Artificial Intelligence”, organized by the Deendayal Research Institute, Dr. Yadav said that the deep-rooted Indian tradition has always nurtured a rich legacy of knowledge. Through the teachings of sages, seers, and spiritual leaders, India has consistently shaped and followed rules for life based on wisdom and intellect.

In today’s era, the Chief Minister noted, it is more important than ever to progress in the fields of modern knowledge and technology. He highlighted that Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has always welcomed new technology and inspired the nation to advance in that direction.

Dr. Yadav stated that while technologies like Artificial Intelligence offer significant benefits, they also come with potential risks that demand caution and preparedness. “Indians have never believed in injustice towards others, but it is equally essential to remain alert against any form of injustice,” he remarked.

He also shared insights into the legacy of Bharat Ratna Nanaji Deshmukh, who founded the Deendayal Research Institute with a vision inspired by Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay’s philosophy, aiming for cultural integrity, collective welfare, and societal transformation. Dr. Yadav expressed that participating in the Nanaji Memorial Lecture as a political leader was a unique and enriching experience for him.

On this occasion, the Chief Minister extended a heartfelt invitation to all attendees for the “Samrat Vikramaditya Mahanatya Mahamanchan”, scheduled to take place in Delhi from April 12 to 14, 2025. He shared that the grand theatrical production will bring to life the bravery, generosity, and resilience of Samrat Vikramaditya”, inspiring audiences to imbibe his ideals in their lives.

The event also featured a keynote address by Dr. Chinmay Pandya, Pro Vice-Chancellor of Dev Sanskriti Vishwavidyalaya, Haridwar. The welcome address was delivered by Shri Atul Jain, Principal Secretary of the Deendayal Research Institute, and the program was graced by the presence of Shri Abhay Mahajan, the organization’s Secretary.
