Vedic maths is a system of mathematics that was discovered by an Indian mathematician, Jagadguru Shri Bharathi Krishna Tirthaji during A.D. 1911 and 1918. He printed his findings in a Vedic Mathematics book – Tirthaji Maharaj. Vedic mathematics is also called mental mathematics in the mathematical world.

Vedic Maths or Vedic Mathematics is a collection of Methods or Sutras to solve numerical computations quickly and faster. It consists of 16 Sutras called Formulae and 13 sub-sutras called Sub Formulae, which can be applied to the solving of problems in arithmetic, algebra, geometry, calculus, conics, etc. All the sutras and sub sutras of Vedic maths help to perform mathematical operations quickly and accurately.

Vedic Maths Benefits

· 🧠 1. Faster Calculations

Vedic Maths uses mental techniques and shortcuts that dramatically reduce calculation time—often 2–5 × faster than conventional methods. No long steps, no bulky working.

 

🎯 2. Improves Mental Ability & Focus

Regular practice sharpens:

·         Concentration

·         Memory

·         Logical thinking

Students start thinking in numbers instead of fearing them.

 

😊 3. Builds Confidence in Mathematics

Math anxiety drops a lot. When students can solve problems quickly and correctly, their confidence shoots up—and that spills over into other subjects too.

 

📚 4. Helps in School Exams

Very useful for:

·             Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division

·             Squares, cubes, fractions, percentages

·             Algebra basics
Students finish papers faster and get time to recheck.

 

🏆 5. Advantage in Competitive Exams

Extremely helpful for exams like:

·             Olympiads

·             Scholarship exams

·             Banking, SSC, CAT (later stage)
Speed + accuracy = big edge.

 

🧩 6. Develops Creative & Flexible Thinking

Unlike rote learning, Vedic Maths encourages multiple ways to solve the same problem. Students learn to choose the smartest method.

 

👶 7. Suitable for All Ages

·             Kids (13+): builds strong number sense

·             Teens: exam advantage

·             Adults: mental sharpness & daily-life calculations

 

🕰️ 8. Saves Time in Daily Life

Quick mental math helps in:

·             Shopping

·             Budgeting

·             Business calculations
No calculator needed.

 

🌱 9. Strengthens Overall Brain Development

Activates both left (logic) and right (creativity) brain—great for holistic cognitive growth.
