Dr. Shanker Adawal participated in Astro+ Mahasangram 2026, held at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, as a distinguished panelist in the session “Astrology 2.0: AI, Apps & Algorithms.” The event brought together astrologers, researchers, practitioners and professionals from across India for discussions around the evolving role of astrology in a rapidly changing technological environment.
The panel explored how artificial intelligence, digital platforms and algorithms are beginning to influence the way astrological knowledge is accessed, processed and communicated. Dr. Adawal’s participation reflected a balanced view of this transition — recognising the usefulness of technology in calculations, data handling and accessibility, while underlining the continued importance of human judgement, experience and sound classical foundations in interpretation.
Astrology 2.0: Tradition and Technology
The discussion focused on an important question facing contemporary astrology: how can technology support traditional knowledge without reducing a complex interpretive discipline to automated outputs?
Dr. Adawal’s broader approach has consistently emphasised responsible interpretation. Technology can strengthen access, efficiency and reach, but the quality of astrological guidance ultimately depends on context, judgement and the ability to understand individual circumstances beyond mechanical calculations.

Double Recognition at Astro+ Mahasangram 2026
The occasion also marked a significant moment of recognition, with Dr. Shanker Adawal being honoured with two awards:
Jyotish Shiromani
A recognition associated with his sustained contribution to astrology through study, research, authorship and interpretive work.
Jyotish Lok Prabhav Shiromani
A recognition reflecting his wider public engagement with astrology through books, media, digital communication and efforts to make astrological thought accessible to contemporary audiences.
Receiving both honours at the same gathering carries a particular significance. One reflects depth of work within astrology, while the other recognises its communication and wider public influence.
A Continuing Journey
For Dr. Shanker Adawal, the event brought together several strands of a long journey — astrological research, public dialogue, authorship and engagement with changing times.
His participation in a discussion on AI, Apps and Algorithms, followed by recognition in two distinct categories, also reflects the larger direction of his work: to remain rooted in traditional astrological knowledge while engaging thoughtfully with modern platforms and contemporary questions.
Astro+ Mahasangram 2026 thus became not only an occasion of recognition, but also a platform for dialogue on how astrology may evolve responsibly in the years ahead.
