Vedic Mathematics

   We have heard the question: What is Vedic Mathematics? When the Veda is by itself the blueprint of the universe, contains formulas of creation of brahmanda, it is absurd to ask what is `Vedic Mathematics?' There is no such thing as the Vedic mathematics and/or other mathematics apart from the Veda. Everything is Vedic, 'vidya', to be precise. The 'Veda' means 'vidya', knowledge, and mathematics is the basis of all vidya. The author of this is supposed to be Vedavyasa and, the name- veda and vyasa, means, the Radius and the Circle. The center of the universe has already been explained in the previous write-ups. The point only appears everywhere! This may seems to be a little ambiguous, but it is true. The points only go to make a straight line, arc, circle, triangle, square, cube, everything!

   Now, this Vedic mathematics has become popular due to the contributions of the Pontif / Seer Shankaracharya of Govardhana Matha, Puri, Jagadguru Swami Bharati Krishna Tirtha (1884-1960) and Dr. Sant Kumar Kapoor. The work of Swamiji and Sri Kapoor include Ganita sutras, Maheshvara sutras and  many Vedic mantra. We shall discuss some of these in the following. However, many other authors have come out with their own works on Vedic mathematics that do not reflect much from the Veda, but variations of the available works.

   At the outset, the universe is said to be a 'mandala' and, there are mandalas within mandalas. There are no limitations to these lokas; as far as we know, there are only the Fourteen lokas from brahma loka to patala loka. However, brahman has pervaded all the lokas as the thread in the fabric! We are concerned mostly with the lower three- the bhu (earth), bhuvah (sky), and the svar (Heavens). In fact, we know very little about the dimensions of the earth, let alone, about the sky and the heavens! 

   So far, we have been taught only 3- Dimensions in schools and the 4th is yet to be understood. In Veda, the sun is the Sixth space (a.a/12a.a) starting from the line (a/2),  Square (a.a/4a), Cube (a.a/6a.a), hypercube 4, hypercube 5 (a.a/10a.a), etc. as stated in the Bhagavd-Gita

  Dr. Kapoor has explained how to travel into space and visualize for oneself how creation is unfolding at each higher and higher level.( S.K.Kapoor: "Space Book", in 7 vols.) 

  The entire Universe is a multi-dimensional aspect of creation of God, so also is the human being! There is better and stranger creation in this universe than the human being with God living within as 'antaryamin' and breathing! 

    Rk Veda Samhita eulogizes Rudra, as Bheshaja running the affairs of the jiva. The design of each and every part of the human body, its organs, is an eternal mystery of Vedic geometry. Nobody has unfolded these hidden secrets of Rk Veda Samhita. What all we have is trash, superficial studies?
