Teacher and author of 12 fascinating books, beautifully hand-written in calligraphy, and 8 unique dvds; Jain has always been drawn to the spiritual and mystical. His work with Rapid Mental Calculation or Vedic Mathematics, a 2,500 year old Indian system of Mental Arithmetic... empowers students to perform mental calculations, in many cases quicker than a calculator.
This is an alternative approach to Mathematics encouraging students to perform mental calculations based on 16 Sutras or Universal Formulae. With practice it eliminates the dependence on the electronic calculator, instilling confidence and memory skills in the process. Often very poor maths students find they can excel with this visually-based system.
VEDIC MATHEMATICS REDISCOVERED
ARTICLE by JAIN
for NEXUS MAGAZINE Aug 2003:
(This was first published in my book THE MAGIC OF NINE)
)
Some questions to ponder upon:
• How could the Aryan civilization, near the Hunza Valley, 3,000 years
ago, mentally compute mathematical operations that today only a
calculator could achieve?
• And if the mathematics could not be done mentally, how could they do everything we know today, IN ONE-LINE? eg: converting the fraction 1/19 into a decimal is an 18 digit answer that requires 35
lines of exhausting long division, how could they do it in a one simple
line solution?
• Why is NASA secretly using this MENTAL, ONE-LINE SYSTEM OF ARITHMETIC in the field of Advanced Artificial Intelligence? and not incorporating it into our current mathematics curriculum?
• Why are many of Bill Gate's Mathematicians Indians?
• Is the decimal form of Pi (3.141592) a sonic code for dedications to Krishna?
• What does the Bhagavad Gita have to say about this lost science of Clairvoyant Calculation that the ancient Temple Builders employed?
• How can you become a Human Bio-Calculator?
• Is the current Western Mathematics Curriculum keeping our Children in a state of limited intelligence?
The answers to all these questions are found by
understanding the ancient system of Vedic Mathematics
as rediscovered by Bharati Krsna Tirthaji (1884-1960),
of Puri Govardhan Math, dux of India in Mathematics
and a Sanskrit Philosopher who wrote and spoke perfect
English, he reached the position of a Shankacharya (the
spiritual head of India 100 years ago, like a Dalai Lama
or Vatican Pope), renunciated several high official
positions in society to retreat into a forest for 7 years
as a yogi, between 1911 and 1918 in which time he
collected all the lost mathematical knowledge (Ganita
Sutras), improved and reconstructed them to 16 basic
Sutras or word formulae that solve every known
mathematical problem. These 16 Volumes relating to
the 16 Sutras was our legacy from the ancient past.
