📜 Introduction – The Wisdom of Our Ancestors

In ancient India, mathematics wasn’t just about numbers. It was about understanding the rhythm of the universe — from how stars move to how we count grains of rice. And one such treasure from our heritage is Vedic Mathematics.

Rediscovered by Jagadguru Swami Bharati Krishna Tirthaji in the early 1900s, Vedic Maths is a system that helps you calculate faster, smarter, and with almost magical ease. 

This System is based on 16 main sutras (formulas) and 13 sub-sutras derived from the Vedas, mainly the Rig-Veda. These sutras simplify complex arithmetic and algebraic problems into quick and easy steps."Veda" in Sanskrit means knowledge, and Vedic Maths truly lives up to its name by unlocking the hidden speed and simplicity behind numbers.

✅ Benefits of Learning Vedic Mathematics

• ⏱ Faster Calculations: Perform calculations 10-15 times faster than traditional methods.
• 🚀 Boosts Confidence: Helps students overcome math fear with fun techniques.
• 🧠 Sharpens Brain: Improves memory, concentration, and logical thinking.
• 💪 Powerful in Exams: Saves time in competitive exams like CAT, CET, UPSC, SSC, and Banking.
• ⚖️ Balances Left & Right Brain: Encourages intuitive and analytical thinking

➕ Vedic Maths Trick for Fast Addition

Sutra: "Sankalana Vyavakalanabhyam" (By addition and by subtraction)This sutra is useful for simplifying addition operations, especially mentally. It teaches to add from left to right, instead of the conventional right to left method, allowing quicker estimations.Example: 647 + 235

• 600 + 200 = 800
• 40 + 30 = 70
• 7 + 5 = 12
  ✅ Final Answer: 882

Advantage: Helps in fast mental addition, especially during shopping or quick estimations.➖ Vedic Maths Trick for Fast Subtraction

Sutra: "Nikhilam Navatashcaramam Dashatah" (All from 9 and the last from 10)This powerful sutra is commonly used not only in subtraction but also in fast calculations involving multiplication and finding complements. It is particularly helpful when dealing with base numbers like 10, 100, 1000, etc., and makes mental arithmetic simpler and faster.Use this technique for:

• ➖ Subtraction from base numbers (like 1000 − 376)
• ✖️ Multiplying numbers near base values (like 98 × 97)
• ➕ Addition tricks that involve complements to base

Once mastered, this sutra becomes a universal tool for many types of basic arithmetic in Vedic Maths.Example: 1000 − 376

• 9 − 3 = 6
• 9 − 7 = 2
• 10 − 6 = 4
  ✅ Final Answer: 624

Use Case: Works best when subtracting from base numbers like 10, 100, 1000, etc.

✖️ Vedic Maths Tricks for Multiplication

✨ Trick 1: Multiply Numbers Near 100

Sutra: "Nikhilam Navatashcaramam Dashatah" (All from 9 and the last from 10)This sutra is highly effective for multiplying numbers that are close to base values like 10, 100, 1000, etc.Example: 98 × 97

• 98 is −2 from 100, 97 is −3 from 100
• Cross subtract: 98 − 3 = 95
• Multiply differences: 2 × 3 = 6
  ✅ Final Answer: 9506

✨ Trick 2: Multiply Any 2-Digit Number by 11Sutra: Derived from "Urdhva-Tiryagbhyam" (Vertically and crosswise)This general multiplication formula can be used to simplify mental multiplication of any two-digit number by 11.Example: 53 × 11

• Split digits: 5 and 3
• Add them: 5 + 3 = 8
• Place in middle: 583

Bonus:
You can use this method for 3-digit numbers too, adding digits step-by-step.⌛ Real-Life Use: Division Shortcut Example (Teaser)Want to divide 1 by 19 in 8 seconds?
Using Ekadhikena Purvena Sutra, Vedic Maths lets you calculate long decimals like 1/19 in a single step!
