  "account": "CM Yogi Adityanath highlighted India's rich knowledge tradition during a lecture at Shri Gorakhnath Temple, emphasizing the need to link this heritage with modern technology. Attacks on temples and ashrams throughout history, including those during the British period and the Ramayana era, were aimed at destroying India's knowledge heritage. The current objective is to recognize and present India's knowledge tradition to the world, using evidence and technology to engage the new generation. During the British era, language and medical systems were replaced by English and modern practices, leading to a disconnection from tradition. Notable universities like Takshashila and Nalanda existed thousands of years ago, along with prominent places such as Kashi, Ujjain, Kanchi, and Navadwip. The Kumbh Mela is not merely a bathing event but a gathering of scholars to share research and innovations. Over a hundred thousand ancient manuscripts have been collected and are being preserved and digitized at Sampurnanand Sanskrit University in Kashi. The CM stated that India's knowledge tradition covers language, grammar, economics, science, astronomy, astrology, Ayurveda, crafts, and technology. The new generation must be introduced to the legacy of Panini, Patanjali, Ayurveda Acharyas, and Chanakya's Arthashastra. Former Higher Education Services Commission Chairman Prof. Ishwar Sharan Vishwakarma noted that the principles of Indian knowledge tradition are integral to the concept of Viksit Bharat, and development cannot occur without staying connected to one's land and roots.",
