A devoted disciple of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, Dr. Mishra is well-versed in their writings and frequently delivers lectures on the philosophy and practice of Sri Aurobindo's Yoga. His expertise spans across diverse fields including Sanskrit, Indian culture, Yoga, spirituality, and education, which he has shared at numerous conferences, seminars, and festivals both nationally and internationally.
Dr. Mishra's association with Sanskrit began early in his life, and he has since become an active figure in promoting the language through various innovative initiatives. Notably, he founded and launched the world's first 24-hour Sanskrit radio channel, Divyavani Sanskrit Radio, in 2013. Dr. Mishra single-handedly manages the entire content for the channel, which has been instrumental in making Sanskrit more accessible to a global audience.
