Pushpa Dixit (Sanskrit: पुष्पा दीक्षित, IAST: puṣpā dīkṣita [puʂpɑː d̪iːkʂɪt̪ə]) is an Indian scholar, author and poet who is believed to be one of the foremost exponents of Pāṇinīan Vyākaraṇam, the study of Sanskrit grammar and linguistics on the principles of the ancient grammarian Pāṇini. Referred to as Mātāji (respected mother), Dixit has developed a new teaching methodology known as the Paushpi Prakriyā. This method has influenced the way Sanskrit grammar is taught in modern era, making it reportedly much faster for students to master the language's profound grammatical structures.
