Faculty – Community Education Division (Sanskrit Studies)
Shri. Haridas Radhakrishnan is a Sanskrit Faculty at the Hindu University of America’s Community Education Division. His interest in Saṃskṛtam was reignited after attending a lecture by Swami Viditatmananda Ji of Arsha Vidya Gurukulam. While he has a broader interest in ancient languages such as Greek and Latin, Saṃskṛtam has been the central focus of his life since 2006.
He pursued his passion by enrolling in the Master of Arts in Sanskrit for Vedic Studies program offered by HUA in collaboration with MITSVS Pune and is currently engaged in further research in Saṃskṛtam studies in Vyākaraṇam, deepening his understanding and contributing to the field.
He has learnt traditional vedic chanting as a child, and more recently from Pandit Sandip Shastri and Pandit Bibhudatta Mishra for over six years, and is still continuing to learn from them.
An IT engineer with nearly three decades of software industry experience, Haridas brings both analytical rigor and heartfelt enthusiasm to his teaching.
