I agree with PKR. I have read the "vedic mathematics" book and wondered about
the source of the verses and the sUtras themselves. As far as I know have no
ancient source.
They are probably the result of the swami's creative talent, and he attributed
the credit to his vedic tradition.

If by scripture, the Veda-s are meant, they have been provided tools for
learning. Vyakarana, is important one of the tools. Especilally,
Pratishakhya section deals with the phonetic laws in Vedic literature. They
are available Rgveda and Yajurveda (both translated by western scholars
long ago.) In the Siddhantakaumudi, the text book of Sanskrit Grammar, for
the use of Students, there is a special appendix Vaidikaprakarana. I don't
know whether any Indian Scholar had attempted learning this section, even
though many claim to be Vedic Scholars. Again, for lexical items, Nirukta of
Yaska, (5th Centrudy AD) which lists out the words in the Samhita and other
parts arranged in his own order. How many have taken pains to go through the
lexicon, before writing anything about the translations of Maxmular and his
followers? We have got the commentaries by Skanda Swamy (the earliest one),
Sayana, Madhvacharya and other teachers. This is a bare fact.
This answers, I hope why we need translations as a shortcut to going through
and mastering the use of these tools. Scholars may differ.
For the criticism of Maxmular and others as imperialistic movement, somebody
had replied in another forum, are we not falling into the grove of neo
socialist movement (with editing and preserving the works)? I also had come
across a strong movement against colonial theory of Aryan Invasion as
invalid and a product of British Imperialist Indologists to establish the
supremacy of Westerners over Indians. A Linguist like MM Deshpande, stayed
neutral in the discussion. There was a discussion among the linguists also
defending and opposing the views. Dr. Dhananjay might have been aware of the
movement.

Dear Dr. Bhat
As has been rightly pointed studying even one veda along with vedangas like?
Nirukta, Shiksha, Jyotisha,Vyakarna, Kalpa, Chandas (each of these have there
own own commentary and sub commentaries?making a comparative study of
Skandaswamin's and Sayana's commentary on the Rg Veda , Sayanas commentary on
the other Vedas will alone take a lifetime and also give rise to number of
questions on textual in interpretations and exact meaning and usages alone
takes several years. Along with these we then have max Muller and his brand of
indologists,Indian Indologists,Dayanand Swami Aurobindos and Madhwacharyas
interpretation on Vedas. So you are right even the source material are so
huge---
That is why we need translations as a shortcut to going through and mastering
the use of these tools.? But one has to slowly and studly wander in these
forests and find ways out. Scholars may differ.
Could you kindly tell me where I can read or learn more about different
linguist's views "Maxmular and others as imperialistic movement"
Regards
Ajit Gargeshwari

The difficult problem is the Scriptures. The answer to the problem?is the
meaning of the verse or verses (in the language you understand). Of course as
one progresses along the learning curve and becomes scholarly like the folks in
this list, then probably one would be able to understand the answer even if it
is quoted in Sanskrit.

How a beautiful princess was made to marry a shepherd.
It was a condition of the learned princess that she would marry only the person
who
would defeat her in debate.
Several suitors got defeated by her.? They wanted to teach her a lesson. They
were
in search of finding a dullard.? They saw a shepherd cutting the branch of a
tree sitting
on the wrong side of the branch.? They called him down and dressed him nicely.
He was told that he would not utter a single word in the assembly where he was
taken.
As soon as he entered the assembly he saw a big curtain which was hiding the
princess.
There was a large painting on the curtain of Ravana. On seeing the painting the
shepherd shouted "abbabbata raabhana".
Immediately the princess told the assemble from behind the curtain
that the suitor
is an idiot who does not know to pronounce the word ravana.
Those in the assembly who were trying to trick the princess said ;
bha kaaraH kumbhakarNesti
bhakaarosti vibhiishaNe??? ?/
tasmaat raakshasarajoyam
raabhaNo na tu raavaNah?? //?
They made the princess to marry the shepherd.
The rest is another story.

This is what we figured out. He does not make this very clear though,
perhaps by design. We're talking about Paratattvaganitadarshanam,
right? This book was very disillusioning for my wife, who had an
earlier career as a mathematician, and was hoping that this book would
contain the desired ancient textual foundation of vedic mathematics.

I came across a series of lectures given by Prof. Krishnamoorthy of
RPI. His lectures does not touch upon the value of pi or the shloka in
question. But I like the way he has laid out the work. Most
importantly, in my opinion, he has not overstated claims of Vedic
Mathematics, a term which seems to be thoroughly abused.
Here is the link to the lecture slides:

This article by Prof. Koertge also makes for interesting reading.

Dear Friends,
Namaste.
Mitram(friend) is a neutral gender. Mitrah (Sun) is masculine gender.
Suppose, I want to write two sentenses:
He is my friend.
She is my friend.
sah mama mitram
saa mama mitram
Is this right? sah must have a masculine predicate and saa must have
a feminine predicate. In the above two sentences, mitram is only
neutral. How this can be reconciled?
With regards,
Anupam.
