Sadāśivan is a student of Saṃskṛta Sāhityam at Mukta Svādhyāya Pīṭham, Central Sanskrit University, and has also studied in a Vedapāṭhaśālā. Having studied Saṃskṛtam from a young age, he has pursued Sāhitya, Vyākaraṇa, and Vedānta through traditional learning, self-study, and independent inquiry. He writes in Saṃskṛtam and is deeply interested in Indian philosophy, literature, ecology, and exploring meaningful connections between traditional wisdom and contemporary questions. He also volunteers in forest and sea turtle conservation initiatives.
