The article titled “Use AI, Social Media To Spread Sanatana Dharma: Seers At Tirumala Huddle” reports on a three-day conclave at Tirumala’s Asthana Mandapam, where over 50 pontiffs and seers gathered physically, with a dozen more, including Sri Sri Ravishankar, joining virtually¹. The seers brainstormed on how to spread appreciation for Hindu Sanatana Dharma using Artificial Intelligence, digital marketing, social media videos, and simplifying complex philosophy into easy-to-understand narratives for school children¹.
The seers advocated that Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD), with its stature and resources, is best suited to lead the campaign and sustain its sanctity for future generations not just in India but across the world¹. Sri Vidyasreesha Thirtha Swamy said TTD is already leading the country in spreading and protecting Sanatana Hindu Dharma¹.
Sri Swatmanandendra Saraswati Swami said there was an increased interest among youth in the dharmik ideology and social media must be used to combat the false and baseless propaganda by vested interests¹. He also advocated that Artificial Intelligence should be used to multiply religious programmes and attract the youth¹.
Sri Shiva Darshanam Mataji said religious programmes are essential for bringing out the Sanatana Hindu sentiments in everyone despite hostilities and ups and downs in society¹. She said the syllabi in schools and colleges should have lessons on the genesis of Hindu Dharma¹.
Sri Devanadha Ramanuja Jiyar Swamiji from Shamshabad said other than TV channels in multiple languages, social media platforms like YouTube should be used to popularise the essence of Hindu dharma¹. He said meditation halls should be established in Tirumala Divyakshetra and multiple programmes should be taken up to increase philanthropy among students, youth, and women¹.
