‘Hanuman’s Power goes beyond Superman’

AP CM Chandrababu Naidu said India’s mythological heroes are far greater than popular Hollywood superheroes and that it is the responsibility of society to pass this knowledge on to children.

Speaking at the Bharatiya Vignana Sammelan organised by the AP government at the Cultural University in Tirupati, Chandrababu said characters like Hanuman, Arjuna, Rama, Krishna and Lord Shiva represent unmatched strength, values and wisdom. He said children should be taught that Hanuman’s power goes beyond Superman, Arjuna was a greater warrior than modern fictional heroes, and Lord Rama remains the highest symbol of righteousness in the world.

The Chief Minister said Indian epics such as the Ramayana and Mahabharata offer deeper life lessons than fantasy films and help children understand the difference between good and evil through powerful characters and stories. He recalled how NTR revived interest in mythology through cinema and used films to spread values across society.

Chandrababu also spoke about yoga, saying India has gifted the world a powerful tool for mental balance and universal health. He highlighted the state’s focus on renewable energy and revealed that a quantum computer would soon be operated from Amaravati, with efforts underway to build one domestically.
