Welcome to Drishti Lab

Drishti (दृष्टि) in Sanskrit means more than seeing — it is insight, the mind’s eye, the capacity to perceive, interpret and understand not only what is before us, but what lies beneath and behind. A lab is a place of careful attention, a space to observe, test and refine. Drishti Lab brings these two impulses together: a quiet room for thinking about how civilisations construct meaning, how languages shape thought and how technology alters the human journey.

I’m Mahesh Vaishnav. My work sits at the intersection of ancient categories and modern complexity, underpinned by rigorous research and a holistic, comparative approach.

This is a place for diligent analysis and insights drawn from Sanskrit, civilisational history and technological systems — unburdened by borrowed frameworks. If you are looking for clarity and sense in a world overwhelmed by conflicting and confusing ideas, I invite you to read freely, reflect deeply, and subscribe for future essays delivered directly in your inbox.

Over time, you can expect essays on:

• Indian civilisation and comparative history
• Sanskrit as a living intellectual language
• AI and technological acceleration viewed through a civilisational lens
