PRESS RELEASE
Hindu Council volunteers promote Vedic Mathematics

Volunteers of Hindu Council of New Zealand bring an opportunity for New Zealand public to learn about Vedic Mathematics online.

The techniques of Vedic mathematics developed in ancient India were used in different fields such as construction of temples, astronomical calculations, medicine and science. It provides many quick and ready methods for multiplication, division, complex numbers, squaring, cubing, square and cube roots, recurring decimals and auxiliary fractions. Hindu mathematical system is known for being the first decimal number system that introduced the number shoonya (zero), hence forming the foundation of all the modern arithmetic and many other mathematical branches.

Vedic mathematics is easy to use and understand as compared to conventional teaching of mathematics in schools, and creates interest in children to solve mathematical problems in a fun and intuitive way.

In New Zealand, the Hindu Council of New Zealand has promoted Vedic mathematics for over ten years. Mr Satya Duggal, a retired mathematics teacher from Te Awamutu, promoted this science during youth development camps. Mr Ravi Kumar, an engineer and an expert in Vedic Mathematics from India presented seminars at various places in New Zealand. A seminar “Vedic Mathematics – a forgotten science” was popular at the Rotorua branch of Royal Society of New Zealand in 2002.

Now volunteers of Hindu Council of New Zealand, Usha and Venkat Koppaka, have taken a giant step forward. They are organising a web-based live audio-visual session on Vedic Mathematics on 31 July and 1 August 2010 (12.30 pm to 2.00 pm) with Mr Sai Kiran, a well known author and speaker, who has trained over 50,000 students so far.

“In modern times, Internet has made entire world a global village. Anyone from any part of the world can learn and gain insights from the comfort of their homes” said Mrs Usha Koppaka.

“Only pre-requisite is an internet connection with speaker and zeal to learn this practical scientific knowledge of ancient India” said Mr Venkat Koppaka.

E-Gurukul.net, an online platform, is an endeavour to disseminate the practical knowledge and wisdom gifted by the great scientists, mathematicians, philosophers and sages of ancient India. It brings online courses in art, science, and holistic living. Of special note are courses for children conducted by experts. The sessions are free; all are welcome to participate.
