1. VEDIC MATHEMATICS
Vedic Mathematics and Hindu religion are intertwined to an extant that
separating the two would be tantamount to a sacrilege. The birth of Vedic
Mathematics is lost in the womb of time. The exact date when the Vedas were
written is not clear. Different dates are given by different authorities. Western
philosophers and researchers have always treated Greek culture as superior to
the Indian and even Arabic cultures. The birth of Vedic texts is therefore claimed
to be much later than the two. It is therefore not surprising that the value of
pi
and the discovery of
zero
have been popularly viewed as Greek and Arabic in
origin. It is assumed that civilization, as it is seen today, is centered on the
Greeks just like the Christian belief that the Sun rotates around the earth. This
unshakable dogma has for long relegated the importance of Indian civilization to
the background.
It is only now that the world is realizing the importance of Indian philosophy and
the way of life. Yoga in its many forms and manifestations has become a rage in
America. Every street and gymnasium boasts of a Yoga guru. The elevated
status of India in the world economy has much to do with the revival of interest in
all things Indian. But the ignorance surrounding Indian history and its glorious
past is more due to the fact that Hindu scriptures are essentially religious in
nature. Vedic math as it is known today is not gleaned from a single source. It is
essentially a compendium of methods derived from different Vedic literature.
Another major hurdle in uncovering the secrets of Vedic Mathematics has been
the obscure language in which it has been written. A direct logic conclusion is
therefore not possible. It is intuitive and requires a thorough understanding of not
only the language but also the nuances of the text. The mathematical formulae
have been beautifully woven into stories and allegories which are beyond the
Page 4
comprehension of a common man. As we talk about the sutras directly related to
the Vedic Mathematics, the complexities involved in extraction of information will
become clear.
Vedic Mathematics may have been ignored for a long time for whatever reasons
but it has become a rage in most of the campuses in Europe and the United
States. The western world has picked up the cudgels with a vengeance. At the
same time, the science of Vedic Mathematics is languishing in the country of its
origin. One of the Professors in an American university expressed his
amazement at to how sixteen sutras can unravel the complete mathematical
code and that too mentally.
It is indeed fascinating to read about the origins of Vedic mathematics.
The impetus to Vedic Mathematics was given by the sacrificial rituals performed
by the Vedic priests. The name
‘sutra’
is derived from the Sanskrit which means
a “
thread”
. This thread was required to measure the exact size of the sacrificial
alter. Myriad calculations developed from this requirement. If the Vedic religion
gave rise to a study of mathematics for constructing sacrificial altars, then it was
Jaina cosmology which led to ideas of the infinite in Jaina mathematics.
Later mathematical advances were often driven by the study of astronomy. Well
perhaps it would be more accurate to say that astrology formed the driving force
since it was that "science" which required accurate information about the planets
and other heavenly bodies and so encouraged the development of mathematics.
Religion too played a major role in astronomical investigations in India for
accurate calendars had to be prepared to allow religious observances to occur at
the correct times. Mathematics then was still an applied science in India for many
centuries with mathematicians developing methods to solve practical problems.
