The discussion touched upon the potential of technology to enable faster calculations, process complex combinations and make astrological knowledge accessible to a wider audience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Adawal, while speaking during the session, emphasised that technological advancement would complement rather than replace the role of an astrologer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAI will not replace astrology or astrologers; it will make astrology more scientific, analytical and precise. While AI can analyse complex patterns and combinations, the final interpretation will always require an astrologer\u2019s understanding and intuition. The future lies in the powerful combination of AI and human insight,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The event was also significant for Dr. Adawal as he received two honours \u2014 <strong>Jyotish Shiromani<\/strong> and <strong>Jyotish Lok Prabhav Shiromani<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The recognitions acknowledged different aspects of his work in the field. His contribution to astrology through research, authorship and interpretation was recognised alongside his engagement with the wider public through media, digital platforms and contemporary forms of communication.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Astro+ Mahasangram 2026 brought together astrologers, researchers and practitioners from across the country. The event provided a platform for discussions around the contemporary evolution of astrology, including the intersection of traditional astrological knowledge with technology, digital communication and changing audience expectations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The discussion on <em>\u201cAstrology 2.0\u201d<\/em> reflected a wider conversation within the field \u2014 how established systems of knowledge can engage with new technologies while retaining the role of experience, interpretation and human judgement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/s.adawal?stkn=NndxeWdsZXB2d3Nj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><u>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/s.adawal?stkn=NndxeWdsZXB2d3Nj<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>If you object to the content of this press release, please notify us at pr.error.rectification@gmail.com.
