He stated, “If this time is used in some productive work, then it can be beneficial for both the society and youth. We should use technology but not become its slaves.”
Highlighting India’s traditional knowledge systems, he emphasised the profound importance of the ‘shruti’ tradition. He mentioned that sages documented knowledge at sacred locations such as Naimisharanya, which transformed it into a pilgrimage destination.
