The Sanatana Tech Manifesto
Where Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Code
In an age where technology exploits human attention for profit, we stand at a crossroads. The dominant paradigm treats users as products, extracting value through addictive patterns and endless scrolling. This is the Attention Economy—where algorithms maximize engagement regardless of human wellbeing.
We reject this model. Instead, we envision an Awareness Economy—a digital ecosystem that enhances human consciousness rather than diminishing it. Sanatana Tech embodies this philosophy by applying timeless principles from ancient wisdom traditions to modern software development.
Just as the Puruṣārtha (the four aims of human life: Dharma, Artha, Kama, Moksha) provides a framework for balanced living, our tools are designed to support holistic human development. We don't build for mindless consumption but for mindful creation. Our interfaces encourage reflection rather than reflex. Our algorithms serve human flourishing, not corporate metrics.
This is the essence of Sanatana Tech: the marriage of eternal principles with contemporary solutions. We believe technology should be a mirror for self-reflection, not an escape from reality. In every line of code, we ask: does this tool elevate consciousness or diminish it? Does it connect us to our deeper selves or fragment our attention further?
This is not a rejection of progress but a reimagining of it. We build digital tools that honor the ancient understanding that the highest purpose of human existence is the cultivation of awareness itself.
