🌿 What is Vedic Maths?

Vedic Maths is a system of fast mental calculation techniques derived from ancient Indian knowledge.
It is based on 16 Sutras (formulas) and 13 Sub-sutras, which simplify complex calculations into easy, logical steps.

✨ It was rediscovered and organized by Sri Bharati Krishna Tirthaji Maharaj (1884–1960).

🌟 Faster calculations
🧠 Improves mental ability & confidence
⏱️ Saves time in exams
😄 Makes maths enjoyable, not scary
📚 Useful for students, competitive exams, banking, CAT, SSC, UPSC


🧩 Core Idea of Vedic Maths

👉 “Do calculations the way the brain thinks naturally”

Instead of long methods:

  • Break numbers smartly

  • Use patterns

  • Think left-to-right (like we read)

🔢 Beginner Examples (Step-by-Step)


✨ Example 1: Fast Subtraction

Problem: 1000 – 357

🧠 Vedic Trick (Nikhilam Sutra)

  • 9 – 3 = 6

  • 9 – 5 = 4

  • 10 – 7 = 3

Answer = 643

🎉 No borrowing, no confusion!


✨ Example 2: Multiply Numbers Near 100

Problem: 98 × 97

🧠 Steps:

  • 98 = 100 – 2

  • 97 = 100 – 3

Left side: 98 – 3 = 95
Right side: 2 × 3 = 6

Answer = 9506

⚡ Faster than calculator thinking!


✨ Example 3: Squaring a Number Ending with 5

Problem: 35²

🧠 Trick:

  • Take first digit: 3

  • Next number: 3 × 4 = 12

  • Add 25 at the end

Answer = 1225

😍 Magic? No — Maths logic!


➗ Division the Easy Way (Basic Idea)

Problem: 144 ÷ 12

🧠 Think:

  • 12 × 10 = 120

  • Remaining = 24

  • 12 × 2 = 24

Answer = 12

Vedic Maths trains your brain to estimate + adjust quickly.
