Sampadananda Mishra

[4] From September 1995 to March 2021, Mishra served as the director of Sri Aurobindo Foundation for Indian Culture (SAFIC), Puducherry.

[4] Currently, Mishra works as Dean - Culture and Director of the Centre for Human Sciences at Rishihood University, Haryana.

In 2014 Mishra founded Samskrita Balasahitya Parishad for creating, evaluating and propagating qualitative children's literature in Sanskrit.

[3] Mishra floated the idea of an indigenous effort in translating Sanskrit texts, a few days after Hindu Nationalists lodged a petition against the Murty Classical Library of India (MCLI); it was argued that the MCLI works were of a high quality but lacked in cultural understandings.

[3][5] Thus, he co-founded the Vande Mataram Library Trust, an open-source project to translate almost all important scriptures available in Sanskrit.
