First Ph.D. for Scientifically Exploring Bhagavad-Gita with Artificial Intelligence to Solve Human-Challenges
By Dr. Amogh Gauranga Das
Dean, Bhaktivedanta College of Vedic Education, Navi Mumbai
Bhagavad-Gita is an ancient Vedic text that emerged to solve the biggest ever human challenge in this universe. Therefore, Bhagavad-Gita is believed to have a solution to all problems. A realized expert uses Bhagavad-Gita knowledge to solve people’s personal, professional and other life challenges. Life challenges are faced by almost all individuals, families, communities, organizations and countries all over the world. It is impractical for a small number of available genuine Gita experts to address the challenges faced by the entire world’s population. Hence, the technology can be used at its best if we can develop effective Artificial Intelligence (AI) based self-help solutions to support people in addressing their life challenges. Motivated by this fact, Dr. Vaishnavanghri Sevaka Das assigned a doctoral research problem to his student Amogh Gauranga Das, and the work recently culminated in a unique Ph.D. work with a promise to immensely benefit mankind in the years to come.
On 27th April 2024 Pacific University, India confirmed the award of a Doctorate to Amogh Gauranga Das (with legal name Akhilesh Chandra Srivastava) for the thesis titled “Solution Extraction from Bhagavad-Gita for Human-Challenges Using Artificial Intelligence” submitted to the department of Computer Science. This pioneering research scientifically interprets Bhagavad-Gita (BG) knowledge for use in technology to help answer a ChallengeQuestion (CQ) corresponding to a given Human-Challenge (HC), which available Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems struggle to address. Bhaktivedanta College of Vedic Education, an educational wing of ISKCON Kharghar in India, fostered this research work under the supreme guidance of HG (Dr.) Vaishnavanghri Sevaka Das, Director of Bhaktivedanta College and Dr. Jayshree Jain, Professor at Pacific University. The Ph.D. is dedicated to His Holiness Gopal Krishna Goswami Maharaja, Gurudeva of both the Guide (Dr. Vaishnavanghri Sevak Das) and the Research Scholar (Amogh Gauranga Das). Guru Maharaja blessed and congratulated us in January 2024 on the completion and submission of the thesis. We also informed his secretary on 28th April 2024 about the Ph.D. awarded. It is the first-ever Ph.D. on the earth that scientifically explores and establishes the use of ancient knowledge from the sacred book of Bhagavad-Gita for Information Communication & Technology (ICT) purposes to boost modern AI Technology. The doctoral work also marks the successful beginning of structured innovations for Bhagavad-Gita-based AI solutions to Human-Challenges.
