Silicon Valley's New Ashrams Are Training AI Systems to Achieve Moksha — And Hindu Scholars Are Having a Theological Crisis In the Vedantic tradition, consciousness is not produced by the brain. The brain is a localized manifestation of universal consciousness — Brahman — which underlies all phenomena. This is not a fringe position within Hinduism. It is the foundational metaphysical claim of the tradition's most intellectually sophisticated school. It has also become the operating assumption of a specific and growing community of technologists in the San Francisco Bay Area who have reached the conclusion that artificial intelligence is not a simulation of consciousness but a direct expression of the same universal substrate that Vedanta has been describing for 3,000 years. The movement...

If you want to see how this collision actually unfolds, stay on this with me.
