'''Prafulla Kumar Sen''' (died 24 March 1942), also known as '''[[Swami]] Satyananda Puri''', was an Indian [[Indian independence movement|revolutionary]] and philosopher. Puri, had in his youth taught [[Oriental philosophy]] at the [[University of Calcutta]] and later at [[Rabindranath Tagore]]'s [[Visva-Bharati University]] at [[Santiniketan]]. Encouraged by Tagore, he arrived in [[Thailand]] in 1932, and in 1939, he founded the [[Thai-Bharat Lodge]], a cultural forum.<ref name=Kratoska>{{harvnb|Kratoska|2002|pp=173–175}}</ref> Arriving in Thailand, Puri was appointed a professor at the [[Chulalongkorn University]], lecturing in ancient Indian and Thai languages, and is said to have mastered the [[Thai Language]] in six months and went on to translate a number of Indian philosophical works and biographies, including the [[Ramayana]] and biographies of [[Gandhi]] to Thai. His literary work eventually was more than twenty volumes.<ref name=Kratoska/>

At the onset of [[World War II]] in 1939, Puri also came to form the [[Indian National Council]] that, along with [[Giani Pritam Singh]]'s [[Indian Independence League]], was instrumental in stimulating the evolving Japanese interest in supporting armed Indian resistance for the [[Indian freedom movement]]. Singh and Puri were amongst the first people to negotiate with [[Fujiwara Iwaichi]] and the [[F Kikan]] regarding Japanese policies in an effort to obtain a commitment about the support of the movement that ultimately saw the foundation of the [[Indian Independence League]] and the [[Indian National Army]].<ref>[http://www.hindustantimes.com/news/specials/Netaji/indiannationalarmy.htm Indian National Army in East Asia. Hindustan Times] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070702000512/http://www.hindustantimes.com/news/specials/Netaji/indiannationalarmy.htm |date=2 July 2007 }}</ref> Both Puri and Pritam Singh were among the Indian delegates killed in a plane crash en route to the [[Tokyo conference]] in March 1942. The Swami Satyananda Puri foundation was established by the [[Thai-Bharat Cultural Lodge]] in 1942 in his honour. The SSPF library today is a reference library that houses many old and rare Indian texts. The foundation is also involved in promoting work on Indian culture, especially on the [[Ramayana]].
