My name is Padmaja Gupta, and I have been teaching Sanskrit for over 35 years. What began as a calling in 1992 at St. Mary's Senior Secondary School in Banda, Uttar Pradesh, has blossomed into a lifelong journey of sharing the beauty of this divine language.

I hold Master's degrees in Sanskrit, English, and Political Science, along with an L.T. (Licentiate of Teaching) qualification. This diverse academic background has given me a unique perspective on language, culture, and education.

Over the years, I have had the privilege of teaching at some wonderful institutions. After my initial years at St. Mary's School in Banda, I spent over seven years at Rani Laxmibai Public School, Jhansi, before joining Army Public School, Gwalior in 2010 — where I continue to teach today.

My goal has always been simple: to make Sanskrit accessible, engaging, and joyful. Whether through classroom activities, creative workshops, or my YouTube channel “Sanskrit with Padmaja”, I strive to show students that Sanskrit is not just an ancient language — it is alive, beautiful, and deeply relevant.

When I'm not teaching, you'll find me composing small pieces of poetry, creating educational videos and presentations, or listening to music.
