A platform called GitaGPT now offers AI avatars of Lord Krishna that provide spiritual advice. The chatbot is the creation of Gurugram-based web developer Sahu, who says he gets hundreds of messages from users who find it helpful.
Sahu, who has a full-time job building websites, describes GitaGPT as his way of giving back. The trend reflects a growing number of spiritual leaders and texts being turned into AI chatbots for guidance.
Indian Opinion Analysis
This is part of a wider shift where religious and philosophical texts are being digitized into conversational AI. The Bhagavad Gita, a 700-verse Hindu scripture, has been adapted into multiple digital formats before, but a chatbot adds real-time interactivity. Sahu's project is one of several such experiments globally, raising questions about authenticity and interpretation when scripture is mediated by algorithms. The next sign to watch is whether established religious institutions endorse or challenge such platforms.
