What is Vedic Mathematics ?
Vedic Mathematics is an ancient system of Mathematics originated in India. This was rediscovered by Sri Bharathi Krishna Thirthaji (1884-1960). He wrote 16 Sutras (Formulae) and 13 Upa Sutras (Sub Formulae) by which we can solve almost all the modem mathematical problems.

- Vedic math is pure mathematics based on certain Sanskrit sutras or formulae.
- Entire mathematics is based on these simple sutras.
- These sutras describe the way the mind naturally behaves.
- The whole emphasis of the vedic mathematics system is on the process and movement taking place in the mind at the time that a problem is being solved.
- The effect of this is to bring the mind into the present moment.
How is Vedic Mathematics different?
- Each number got peculiar properties and ways of behavior.
- If these are closely looked at, we have newer and newer methods of doing calculations.
- Vedic mathematics is a good means of performing calculations mentally.
- It also keeps before us more than one way of doing a particular calculation.
- One can come up with his own innovative methods of carrying out calculations.
- This leads to more creative, interested and intelligent students.
Why should one study Vedic Mathematics and what are the advantages over regular mathematics?
- Vedic mathematcs is simpler yet more intelligent than regular mathematcs.
- Mathematical problems can be solved with amazing speed and accuracy.
- Large operations can also be done mentally.
- Problems are reduced to one-line answers.
- One need not know the multiplication tables of numbers above 5.
- Answers can be verified with stunning speed.
- In vedic math we make use of our own mental faculties and the tremendous potential of the brain.
- utilizes both the left-brain (logic) and the right brain (creativity).
- Improvement in our mental ability, sharpness, creativity and intelligence.
- Reduces our dependence on calculators.
- Numbers become playful, removing the fear and anxiety of math.
- Vedic math is complementary to regular math taught in schools.
- Students learning Vedic Math excel at school.
All Above Vedic Maths is invaluable tool for competitive exams
