Chamu Krishna Shastry[5] (born 23 January 1956) is an Indian Educationist who has been working for the revival of the Sanskrit language.

To make it easier for the students, Shastry's method is not to learn the language through grammar, but to teach Sanskrit as it is spoken.

The movement eventually evolved into the not-for-profit organisation Samskrita Bharati, a voluntary body committed to the cause of Sanskrit.

[11] Shastry's efforts have also led many universities and colleges to adopt the communicative teaching method for Sanskrit.

"Saraswati Seva" is a project through which hundreds of books from other Indian and foreign Languages are translated into Sanskrit.

[16] Shastry spends most of his time on teacher training, workshops, making of learning material and discussing Sanskrit education with policy makers.

[17] His extensive experience in education and teaching methods has led to his being on the Board of Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan[2] and many other universities.

[17] He believes in the dictum of the Bhagavad Gita to work towards a goal without expectations and has taken a personal vow of not accepting honors and awards.
