On September 12, 2025, to enlighten Computer Science Engineering students with IKS, the Centre for Indian Knowledge Systems at Uttaranchal University organized a Guest Lecture on “Developing Logic for Pranic Engine-Taitriyopanishad on the lines of AI ENGINE LLM” at UIT Seminar Hall. The session featured Prof. Paran Gowda, Director, Patanjali Bio-Research Institute, Patanjali Yogpeeth, Haridwar. Prof. Paran Gowda is Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics, IIT Mumbai, D.M.R.I.T. (Bhabha Atomic Research Centre Mumbai, Master of Science in Nuclear Physics (Bangalore University) and President of NGO-Karuna Trust. The Guest Speaker was welcomed by Shri Jitender Joshi (President, Uttaranchal University), Ms. Ankita Joshi (Vice President), Prof. Dharam Buddhi (Vice Chancellor), Prof. Rajesh Bahuguna (Pro Vice Chancellor), Prof. Rajesh Singh (Director DRI), Prof Anita Gehlot (Joint Director, DRI), Er. Rajesh Deorari (Director, IQAC), Dr. Sumit Chaudhary (Director, UIT), and Dr. Reeta Rautela (Coordinator, Centre for IKS, UU).
Ancient Indian texts view the human system as a multilayered expression of consciousness. Modern AI uses layers (neural networks, transformers) to encode patterns and generate predictions. With the help of various figures, the speaker explained that the ancient Indian Knowledge Sciences model proposes modern AI engine architectures, enabling predictions of human behavior, cognition, and states of awareness by decoding consciousness flows across layers.
Drawing on the Taittīriya Upaniṣad, seen as a blueprint for AGI that is not merely predictive, but reflective and transformational. The B.Tech (CSE) students interacted with the speaker and were curious to hear again on such topics. The program was hosted by Mr. Ashutosh Sharma (Asst. Prof. SLA). The event concluded with a heartfelt vote of thanks by Dr. Reeta Rautela, Coordinator of the Centre for Indian Knowledge Systems.
