“ Vedic mathematics is the science and technology of precision and order,
which maintains the integrity of unity and at the same time spreads diversity with it. ”
“ Vedic mathematics is the balancing power between two opposite qualities of its
own nature unifying and diversifying. ”
“ Vedic mathematics is the structuring dynamic of Natural Law; it spontaneously
designs the source and goal of natural law- the orderly theme of evolution. ”
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi,
FOUNDER OF TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATION
“ The sutras (aphorisms) apply to and cover each and every branch of mathematics including arithmetic, algebra, and geometry … In fact, there is no part of mathematics, pure or applied, which is beyond their jurisdiction. ”
“ The sutras are easy to understand, easy to apply and easy to remember; and the whole work can be truthfully summarized I one word ‘mental’! ”
Sri Bharati Krsna Tirthji (1884-1960)

FATHER OF VEDIC MATHEMATICS
A monumental work has done by the Late Sankaracharya
(Bharati Krisna Tirtha) of Govardhana Math, Puri. He has
shown all the practical problems of mathematics in ready application.
He was an yogi but with ample talent of a mathematician. He practically admitted, that one can not expect to convert or revert criticism , much less carry conviction , by merely asserting one's staunchest beliefs. Tomeet these ends , one must be prepared to go the whole length of testing and verification by accepted , accredited methods.
And atlast he made this essential requirement in vedic mathematics and divised the automatic brain for complicated calculations of science that look like MAGIC with LOGIC also.
He had techniques , science called YAJNA which has compactness and
simplicity. And he has made that really awesome.
Becoming Bharati Krisna Tirtha
Sri Bharati Krisna Tirtha , better known as Jagadguru ji was born in
march , 1884. His father Late P. Narashima was a tahsildar at Tinnivelly.
Jagadguru ji named as Venkatraman as he was an exceptionally brilliant
student and won the First Place in all the subjects in all the classes throughout
his whole educational career.
He passed his matriculation from Madras University in January , 1899.
As he was exceptionally good in Sanskrit so he bagged the award of
"SARASWATI" by the Madras Sanskrit association in july , 1899.
He started his public life under the guidence of Late Hon'ble Sri
Gopal Krishna Gokhale in 1905 in connection with the national
education movement and the south african indian issue.
He was given the name , Swami Bharati Krisna Tirtha after several
years of studies when he was initiated into the holy order of SAMNYASA
at Banaras , July, 1919.
He had been undergoing a tremendous strain for more than five decades
by devoting his body , mind in probing simplest and logical solution of all
practical problems and by ignoring his health condition, the day came and
he took MAHA SAMADHI at Bombay on 2nd February , 1960.

NUMBER CRUNCHING THE VEDIC WAY...
Vedic Mathematics is the name given to an ancient system
of Mathematics which was rediscovered from the ancient
Indian Scriptures called Vedas meaning ‘knowledge’ between
1911 and 1918 by Sri Bharati Krishna Tirthaji (1884 - 1960)
who was the Sankaracharya of Govardhan Matha Puri.
In the beginning of the twentieth century, when there was
great interest in the Sanskrit texts in Europe, some scholars
ridiculed certain texts which were headed Ganita Sutra which
means mathematic formulas. They could not decipher any
mathematics in the translations and therefore dismissed the
texts as rubbish.
Bharati Krishna, who himself was a scholar of Sanskrit,
Mathematics, History and Philosophy, studied these texts and
after lengthyand careful investigation was able to reconstruct
the mathematics of the Vedas in 1918.
Bharati Krishna wrote sixteen volumes expounding the Vedic
system but these were unaccountably lost and when the loss
was confirmed in his final years he wrote a single book - Vedic Mathematics.
It was published in 1965, five years after his death.
According to his research all of mathematics is based on
sixteen Sutras, or word - formulae.
For example, ‘Vertically and Crosswise’ is one of these Sutras.
These formulae describe the way the mind works naturally
and are therefore a great help in directing the student to the
appropriate method of solution. They are intuitive and fun to work with.
In the Vedic system difficult problems or huge sums
canoften be solved immediately by the Vedic method.
These striking and beautiful methods are just a part of a
complete system of mathematics which is far more systematic
than the modern system. Vedic mathematics manifests the
coherent and unified structure of mathematics and the methods
are complimentary, direct and easy.
The simplicity of Vedic Mathematics means that calculations
can be carried out mentally (though the methods can be written down).
There are many advantages in using a flexible, mental system.
Pupils can invent their own methods;they are not limited to the
one correct method. This leads to morecreative,interested and
interesting pupils.
But the real beauty and effectiveness of Vedic Mathematics can not
be fully appreciated without actually practising the system.
One can then see that it is perhaps the most refined and efficient
mathematical system possible. Source - Gaurav Tekriwal http://www.vedicmathsindia.org/

MENTAL MAGICAL MATH METHOD
First of all, let us figure out what exactly is mental math.
Today if you search the phrase "mental math" you will probably
end up with millions of options. Not exactly that makes your life easy;
instead it builds up and strengthens your curiosity.
Put in simplest terms, mental math can be defined
as calculations performed in your head - mentally - without
help of any external device be it as simple as pen and paper
or any modern day device such as calculator, computer or
any other electronic gadget.
We humans perform mental mathematical calculations everyday,
consciously and unconsciously. When you are driving you figure out

We humans perform mental mathematical calculations everyday,
consciously and unconsciously. When you are driving you figure out
when to apply brakes to bring the vehicle to stop before hitting something.
You figure out time difference between east coast and west coast.
But where we falter is at the simplest and most mundane of calculations.
Go to a restaurant and figure out 18% gratuity.
Abacus Mental Mathematics
What is abacus mental mathematics?
Origin of Abacus is highly disputed today,
some say it originated in Mesopotamia and some claim to be in China.
Over centuries, abacus has evolved in to various different forms and sizes.
The most commonly used is the Japanese Soroban Abacus.
The Soroban Abacus consists of one upper row and four lower
rows and columns vary from thirteen, fifteen, seventeen or twenty one.
It is claimed and proven by many researchers in Asia that
Abacus stimulates whole brain development.
When children use both hands to move the abacus beads to perform
arithmetic calculations, there is quick communication between the
hands and the brain that stimulates both the right and left hemispheres of the brain.
This promotes rapid, balanced whole brain development.If a child
starts learning the abacus before being taught traditional arithmetic,
there is minimal conflict and the child will easily work within both systems.
If a child starts the program later, having already received traditional
foundations, there may be a slightly extended learning period for the
child to accept and integrate the abacus method.
Vedic Mental Mathematics
What is Vedic mental mathematics?
Origin of Vedic Mathematics is in Atharva Veda (Holy Scripture from Hinduism).
Vedic mathematics is a system based on sixteen sutras (aphorisms)
which are actually word-formulae describing natural ways of solving
a whole range of mathematical problems.
These formulae describe the way the mind naturally works
and are therefore a great help in directing the student to the
appropriate method of solution.
It is claimed and proven by many researchers in Asia that
practice and use of Vedic mathematics helps the person in
many different aspects of decision making.
From intelligent guessing to thinking outside the box ability. Vedic mathematics has its applications to much advanced mathematics, such as calculus and linear algebra.
The sixteen sutras are:
By one more than the one before.
All from 9 and the last from 10.
Vertically and Cross-Wise
Transpose and Apply
The summation if equal to Zero
If One is in Ratio the Other is Zero
By Addition and by Subtraction
By the Completion or Non-Completion
Sequential Motion
The Deficiency
Whole as One and One as Whole
The Remainders by the Last Digit
The Ultimate and Twice the Penultimate
By One Less than the Previous One
The Whole Product is the same
Collectivity of multipliers
Today, both these methods have made a come back in Asia.
Abacus Mental Math method is extremely popular in nations
of China, Taiwan, Japan, Malaysia, Korea and India whereas
Vedic Mental Math method is extremely popular only in India.
