About the Author 

Ankit Upadhyay has been a student of Sanskrit since childhood. His education in the Gurukul tradition nurtured a deep interest in Sanskrit, scriptures, Dharma, and the Vedic traditions of India. During his Shastri studies, he began preparing for the position of Dharmaguru (Religious Teacher). Drawing upon years of study, preparation, and personal experience, he has endeavoured to shape his accumulated study materials into meaningful books.
His first book, Dharma Shikshak Manjusha, was written to provide essential knowledge and structured guidance for Dharmaguru examinations. Sakshatkar-Manjusha is a continuation of the same endeavour, presenting practical and accessible guidance for the Indian Army Dharmaguru selection process—from physical examination to interview and religious discourse.
Alongside his works on religious education and examination preparation, he has also explored a different dimension of his writing through his novel Adhura Safar.
Through his writings, Ankit Upadhyay seeks to make knowledge simple, accessible, and practical, while sharing the learning and experience he has gained over the years with students and readers.
