Indian programming language being devised by Dr. B. V. Venkata Krishna Shastri, Assistant Professor of Hinduism at the Hindu University of America and Chief Researcher at the International Sanskrit Research Academy (Regd. Trust)

from his bio on the staff webpage at HUA:
"Dr. Shastri has a rare specialization in use of computers on preserving Sanskrit manuscripts and is engaged in developing Indian programming language for the computers of the next generation. [...] His objectives are to preserve and propagate the Indian culture through advanced computer technologies and service to the cause of Sanatana Dharma, Hinduism and Sanskrit language, develop a programming language on the paradigm of human language-Sanplan, making the universal contemporary- the discovery of the secret South-Indian yoga tradition of VOC-YOGA, based on Vedic Sanskrit, Dhanur-Veda and Astra system."

from the SanPlan page at ISRA

"This is unique project undertaken by the academy to develop a new generation programming language for the computers based on the model of the Sanskrit language.  The unique feature of this language is the integrated sound-script capability as in the human languages for the communication.  This bridges the gap between the hardware-software and the mind-ware.  The project is called SANPLAN - a short form for I. Sanskrit as a Programming Language; II Sanskritization (=Refinement) of the programming languages."
