Shakuntala Devi's feat years ago that created waves world over where in she has defeated the computers has influenced later generations. She was a 'Trend setter'. And the most astonishing part of it is she acquired her mastery because of 'Vedic Mathematics'.
According to computer scientists Sanskrit is the most tech friendly and developer friendly language. We have to revert to past in order to know the glories that had been there for years.

There is much more in our religious books. in fact people from other countries knew the value f it but we are too ashamed to accept the greatness of our own culture. That will look us down please.

Exactly. We are in such a sad situation, we fail to see the greatness of our own culture till a foreigner acknowledges.

Shakuntala Devi was a genius lady mathematician. No woman has born like her, as yet. I wish her - "HAPPY BIRTHDAY", whole heartedly.
Shakuntala Devi, well known as 'Human computer' is no more. Google paid its tributes through a doodle today.

Today when I login gmail account I saw there photo of Shakuntala Devi. Happy birthday to genius.
Genius, she has so much of knowledge abt. math, which is unbelievable, probably she has schizophrenia, which is due to great knowledge, :whistle:

She has developed her own way of solving mind boggling complex mathematical problems. And her basis was Vedic Mathematics which was followed by India's greatest mathematician Ramanjan also. She never went to school And she was a child prodigy.

She never went to school, and gained so much of knowledge from Vedic literature, this means there are plenty of stuffs inside ancient literature, we need to go back past now.

That's the mistake we the Indians are committing for many years. We don't have any faith on our own treasures. We look towards everything which has a tag, "Foreign."

Abs, we are leaving behind rich treasure of knowledge to read bookish education, it is time to look past and search for excellence.

Seers of yore acquired immense knowledge from the Vedas. Srinivasa Ramanujan , the mathematical wizard has astonished the world with his masterly contributions to the field of Mathematics. And he was an ardent follower of Vedic mathematics. Just open your eyes there is a treasure of ancient quintessence at your disposal.

Having natural talents and cultivating them is the need of the hour. Parent's cooperation is essential in this respect. Shakuntala was fortunate on that count.

Her parents are very cooperative in this regard as you have mentioned here, and to learn Sanskrit, they must have been well versed with it.

It's not necessary for the parents for being well versed in the subject in which the kid shows interest . Many uneducated parents helped their children in achieving their goals.

Some have unusual talent, which cannot be explained. One cannot acquire such talent through education or any other way. I also remember one who had photographic memory. He could reproduce entire book like a camera even if he did not know the language. Once he witnessed two men fighting. He did not know the language of those two men but he reproduced all their talk just like tape recorder in court. Shakuntala Devi had also such talent. It is fallacy to say that Vedic mathematics or anything else would have enabled her talent. There are many Vedic scholars in India but nobody has such talent.
