Leon merely quoted from some publication (that was published last century, hence the reference to "this century").

Hardly a 'balance' Sam - you've link us to a site that makes money selling books filled with this crap.

ADG, thanks for having nothing better to do with your time than scrutinise my links. I simply googled it and stuck the first one up that seemed to be informative.
When I have nothing to do, I'll search far and wide for one that suits your specification, ok babe?
In the mean time, formulate the balance yourself!

No one stir Sammy-boy up.

His head hurts, poor wee chap.

I wonder who's fault that is?

Maybe you should try looking at the "bigger picture" and keep your hissy fits to yourself.

Try a litre of Coke, the real stuff not the low octane diet crap. Always found that helped the morning after - hangovers, that is.

Glad to see you're feeling better.

Good luck!

1) My time - Hardly any time at all Sam, I just had to click on the homepage tab. Being on broadband this whole 'scrutiny' of the site took a few seconds.

2) Your goggling skills - I would rate them 'poor'

3) Finding a site to my specifications - I don't beleive I specified any, however one from a legitimate tertiary education institution would be nice..

4) "babe" - I am not an infant, please don't address me as such.

5) "formulate the balance yourself" - I have, vedic maths is simply maths tricks.

Finally, I thank you for picking up my typo.

Sam I think you misunderstood. I was not saying the vedas rigveda etc, were invented this century but the 16 "vedic" sutras that form the foundation of the vedic maths system were, and were not part of any ancient indian maths system and are not to be found in the extent vedic literature. The forward to Tirthajis book even admits this. Do you actually know who Tirthaji is? without him, Vedic maths as we know it would not exist, he is its originator.Disciples such as Saraswasti believed the Tirthaji got the sutras direct from god. I am no expert, but I have read the original vedic maths book and read around it's origins. I did this for everything I was taught at St James and SES. In that way I was able to see more clearly why I was biased in certain directions.


I also meant 20c creation rather than 21c, as the Vedic maths book was published posthumously in 1965. As i said, long nights little sleep..sorry i wasn't more clear. Perhaps if you think they did exist in the past you could show the evidence?

I also think you should "dare" to question everything you are taught, religion included, and accept nothing. It can be disorientating, but worth it in the long run. Don't accept as fact for example that Vedic thought predates Christianity, or that antiquity equates to value.

Keep your hair on, Sam. I don't think leon's being arrogant at all. His actual claim (not your misunderstood interpretation of it) is very reasonable. If you want to disprove his claim, you just need to produce evidence that the 16 sutras upon which 'Vedic mathematics' is apparently based were around before the 20th Century. Good luck!

Sam Hyde wrote:I have stated MY opinion on it, and these are entirely my own beliefs.

And you're fully entitled to hold those beliefs, despite the lack of any evidence to back them up.

Sam Hyde wrote:I don't however begin to question the foundations of a religion that predates much of what we hold dear to our hearts as a Christian nation! Frankly, how dare you!

Speak for yourself, Sam. I wish more people would question the ridiculous claims that religions make. And just because a belief system is old, it doesn't mean it's right - or do you think astrology, numerology, dowsing, sympathetic magic, etc. must never be questioned?

Like I said, Sam, just disprove the statement!

I turn the task to you, you prove that the sutras were invented in the 19C. as you claim because you seem to have all the time on your hands!
