Vedic Math is India’s heritage to the world. The ancient sages from India developed wonderful systems for numbers and calculations and have been known since the Vedic days. Sri Bharati Krishna Tirthaji Maharaj rediscovered this system from the Vedas between 1911 and 1918 and named it “Vedic Mathematics.” He codified these techniques in 16 “Sutras” with formulas to apply to several foundational mathematical problems.  These Vedic mathematics techniques are aligned with how our brains work naturally. Hence these techniques promote mental calculation.
