Description
ABOUT THE BOOK : Vedic Mathematics by the late Sankaracarya (Bharati Krsna Tirtha) of Govardhana Pitha is monumental work. In his deep-layer explorations of cryptic Vedic mysteries relating specially to their calculus of shorthand formulae and their neat and ready application to practical problems, the late Sankaracarya shows to rare combination of the probing insight and revealing intuition of a Yogi with the analytic acumen and synthetic talent of a mathematician. With the late Sankaracarya we belong to a race, now fast becoming extinct, of die-hard believers who think that the Vedas represent an inexhaustible mine of profound wisdom in matters both spiritual and temporal; and that this store of wisdom was not, as regards its assets of fundamental validity and value at least, gathered by the laborious inductive and deductive methods of ordinary systematic enquiry, but was a direct gift of revelation to seers and sages who in their higher reaches of Yogic realization were competent to receive it from a source, perfect and immaculate.
