The Hindu : Dancing Numbers Based on the famous 12th Century mathematical treatise of bhaskaracharya. One afteranother, questions were posed by bhaskaracharya to a reluctant Leelavati. http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/2001/02/24/stories/0424403j.htm

No, they are not real, but are the beautiful imageries created by a group of dancers on the stage. And, as the nature unveils itself, it's mathematics that comes alive. The Pythagoras theorem, properties of triangles, algebra and geometry all come up for debate. Perhaps, solving problems and making calculations was never so rhythmic and beautiful. But then, dance too was never used earlier to understand mathematics. Exploring the nuances of mathematics through a ballet in Odissi was the Smitalay presentation "Leelavati". Based on the famous 12th Century mathematical treatise of Bhaskaracharya. The complex, yet pleasing dance ballet presented 11 of the 261 slokas of the great mathematician, each of which was presented as mathematical puzzle or a concept. Choreographed by the noted Odissi dancer and director of Smitalay, Jhelum Paranjape, the ballet was a tribute to Leelavati, daughter of Bhaskaracharya. The dialogues, debates and the problem solving manoeuvres between the father and daughter was beautifully captured at the Ravindra Bharathi on Thursday night.

He presided over every thing secular and political affairs of the family to which he were accredited by the supreme verdict. He ably and efficiently discharged his duties to the satisfaction of the entire family and state. He enkindled ennobling instincts of chastity in Vasavamba and approved her launching out into that monumental act of self-immolation that immortalised both preceptor and disciple. In account of his versatile knowledge and intellectual acumen, he was consulted on all state affairs and his immaculate, accurate verdict was implemented with implicit obedience. He was more feared than revered for his austere habits and abstemious living. His godly demeanour and sublime disposition was raising the hands of the people wherever he went. He was an ideal preceptor. Back to History

My Comments On Prof. Narlikar Lecture In 1997 to destiny as you mentioned in your lecture in terms of Astrology, I will writehere an interesting story about great Mathematician bhaskaracharya who lived http://www.csre.iitb.ac.in/ysrao/Narlikar.html
Extractions: Coming to main point i.e about your lecture, I can not add anything more to your great lecture but I can give my own views. As a scientist I also blamed some blind faiths such as: not to buy, not to start, not to construct without proper timings and rules. After my association with great gurus say Jagatgurus in spiritual fields and my own experiences, I changed my mind. I also felt that spirituality starts where science ends. Bodily dirt can be cleaned with water and soap. What way can we clean the dirt of our mind? Because our scientific minds are confined to material things and could not see more than that. Dr. Rajaramanna after meeting Kanchipuram Sankaracharya (1984-1994) said, "Physicists have wondered if there is a direct interaction between two conscious human beings without the aid of the sense organs. I believe I have some verification of possibility."
Am I A Hindu - Udupipages.com Years before that an ancient Indian Astronomer, bhaskaracharya wrote in his book,Surya Siddhanta that objects fall on earth due to a force of attraction by http://www.udupipages.com/book/hindhu.html
Extractions: This book is one of a kind with 90 chapters and hundreds of questions and answers. It is in the form of thought provoking dialogue between 14-year-old American-born-Indian teenager and his middle-aged father on all aspects of Hinduism. Almost all the papers and magazines in India have written excellent reviews on this book. In USA many magazines [Library Journal, Booklist, etc] have recommended this book for all libraries. At least one community college in California is using this book as a medium of instruction to teach students about Hinduism I happened to write and published this book after an accidental conversation about "world religions" I had with a friend during a very monotonous drive to a Nuclear plant in 1984. I published the very first edition of the book in 1988 in India and now Halo Books, USA and Rupa Press, India published the book simultaneously. sI actually wrote this book to meet my own personal needs. I never ever saw a book on Hinduism describing every aspects of it in one book and so I wrote one.... I never ever thought people would love my book.... In fact, when I was preparing my manuscript, many told me that with thousands of books on Hinduism written by great saints occupying every bookshelf in India, people will be give very little importance to my book.... Lo and behold! To my total amazement the first edition of book [published in 1988 in India] as sold out in a couple of months.... This book was republished in 1992 in USA to meet the demand of orders from people living all over the west.

Please feel free to link the page as it is, including this note, but strictly refrain from copying it as it may result in appropriate legal action. Ganit (Mathematics) has been considered a very important subject since ancient times. We find very elaborate proof of this in Vedah (which were compiled around 6000 BC). The concept of division, addition et-cetera was used even that time. Concepts of zero and infinite were there. We also find roots of algebra in Vedah. When Indian Beez Ganit reached Arab, they called it Algebra. Algebra was name of the Arabic book that described Indian concepts. This knowledge reached to Europe from there. And thus ancient Indian Beez Ganit is currently referred to as Algebra. The book Vedang jyotish (written 1000 BC) has mentioned the importance of Ganit as follows- Meaning: Just as branches of a peacock and jewel-stone of a snake are placed at the highest place of body (forehead), similarly position of Ganit is highest in all the branches of

Extractions: Floristic Database The main project action on this front has been the regular collection of basic botanical data by the ancestral botanists( Bare Foot Botanists or the BFBs) along with the trained taxonomists in all the thirteen MPCAs. This activity, of course, has involved technical trainings (two workshops) and follow-ups. Herbarium preparation, a database on botanical inventory with their local names and local medicinal usage as well as the taxonomic details of the plants occurring or collected, are the activities complemented during the regular collection of basic botanical data. The floristic survey involves: Detailed, exhaustive, criss-crossing survey of the MPCA. Recording of species found and collection of flowered and fruited specimens for herbarium. Visits in different seasons. Assistance of a local knowledgeable person in each visit for gathering of information of medicinal and other uses.

IP: Logged MichelleCain The Indian culture developed the decimal system. The Mohenjo Daro culture of the Indus valley was using a form of decimal numbering some 5000 years ago. Succeeding cultural changes in this area developed the decimal system into a rigorous numbering system, including the use of zero by the Hindu mathematicians some 1500 years ago.
