United Kingdom: When asked whether receiving the Kalinga Literary Award 2026 makes him feel the weight of a civilisation's trust while speaking at Oxford, philosopher Acharya Prashant says, "...Yes, I think it's a tremendous responsibility to be carrying the eternal message of Vedanta and the Upanishads to global stages, not just because it gives patriotic pride, but because today it's a planetary requirement. The West has already done well in all kinds of external endeavours. When it comes to exploring the universe, breaking into the atom, or discovering the secrets of the body, the West has already done very well..."
