Work
Misra does not have any formal degree in Sanskrit, but can fluently speak the language.[1] He is well-known in the field of Sanskrit studies for his technical expertise on the language.[1] He has edited, translated, and designed several books.[1] He is a disciple of Swami Rambhadracharya.[1] His expanded and annotated translation of the Mahaviri commentary on the Hanuman Chalisa has been called the first book of its kind in English on the Hanuman Chalisa[5] and perhaps the most comprehensive guide to the Hanuman Chalisa available in English.[6] Special features of Misra's annotated and expanded translation include word-for-word meanings, simple translation with commentary, scholarly notes, an appendix on prosodic metres of the Chalisa along with short and long vowel markings for reciters, and musical notation (staff and Swaralipi) of its traditional melody for instrumentalists and singers.[5]

मशहूर 'महावीरी व्याख्या' का टिप्पणियों सहित विस्तृत अंग्रेज़ी अनुवाद नित्यानन्द मिश्र ने पेश किया है। महावीरी: हनुमान-चालीसा डीमिस्टिफ़ाइड नामक ... यह किताब अंग्रेज़ी में हनुमान चालीसा पर अपनी तरह की पहली किताब है। किताब में हनुमान चालीसा के हर शब्द का अनुवाद, अंग्रेज़ी सरलार्थ और व्याख्या, विद्वानों के लिए सौ से ज्यादा टिप्पणियां, पाठ करने वालों के लिए चालीसा के प्रत्येक वर्ण के लघु-गुरु निदर्शन सहित दोहा और चौपाई छन्दों पर परिशिष्ट, वादकों और गायकों के लिए चालीसा की पारम्परिक धुन का पाश्चात्य पद्धति (स्टाफ़ नोटेशन) और भातखण्डे पद्धति (स्वरलिपि) में स्वराङ्कन जैसी तमाम खासियतें हैं।

All in all, Mahāvīrī: Hanumān-Cālīsā Demystified is perhaps the most comprehensive guide to the Hanumān Cālīsā available in English. All those spiritually or academically interested in the Hanumān Cālīsa would find it a valuable read. There are a great many religious commentaries whose translations would benefit devotees, and I hope Nityānanda Miśra’s meticulously written book serves as a model for future efforts
