Guest guest Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 All: I remember HT Bhai's post on 22/7 and RAHU and it stuck to me regardind the "irrationality of pi and Rahu". The fact that the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle is constant has been known for so long that it is quite untraceable. The transcendentality of Pi implies that there is no ruler and compass construction to construct a square equal in area to a given circle. I stumbled upon something today which I wanted to share with the group, read below the article I stumbled upon: "Secular and spiritual life were so intertwined in Vedic India that mathematical formulas and laws were often taught within the context of spiritual statements (mantras). Thus while learning spiritual lessons, one could also learn mathematical rules. The Vedic mathematicians prefer to use the devanagari letters of Sanskrit to represent the various numbers in their numerical notations rather than the numbers themselves, especially where large numbers are concerned. This made it much easier for the students of this mathematics to record the arguments and the appropriate conclusions. In order to help the pupil to memorise the material studied and assimilated, they made it a general rule of practice to write even the most technical and abstruse textbooks in sutras or in verse (which is so much easier - even for children - to memorise). And this is why we find not only theological, philosophical, medical, astronomical and other such treatises but even huge dictionaries, in Sanskrit verse! So from this standpoint, they used verse, sutras and codes for lightening the burden and facilitating the work (by versifying scientific and even mathematical material in a readily assimilable form)! The code used is as follows: The Sanskrit consonants ka, ta, pa, and ya all denote 1; kha, tha, pha, and ra all represent 2; ga, da, ba, and la all stand for 3; Gha, dha, bha, and va all represent 4; gna, na, ma, and sa all represent 5; ca, ta, and sa all stand for 6; cha, tha, and sa all denote 7; ja, da, and ha all represent 8; jha and dha stand for 9; and ka means zero. Vowels make no difference and it is left to the author to select a particular consonant or vowel at each step. This great latitude allows one to bring about additional meanings of his own choice. For example kapa, tapa, papa, and yapa all mean 11. By a particular choice of consonants and vowels one can compose a poetic hymn with double or triple meanings. Here is an actual sutra of spiritual content, as well as secular mathematical significance: ""gopi bhagya madhuvrata srngiso dadhi sandhiga khala jivita khatava gala hala rasandara"" While this verse is a petition to Lord Krishna, when learning it one can also learn the value of pi/10 (i.e. the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter divided by 10) to 32 decimal places. It has a self-contained master-key for extending the review to any number of decimal places. The translation is as follows: "O Lord anointed with the yoghurt of the milkmaids' worship (Krishna), O saviour of the fallen, O master of Shiva, please protect me."...End of article. --At the same time, by application of the consonant code given above, this verse directly yields the decimal equivalent of pi divided by 10: pi/10 = 0.31415926535897932384626433832792. Thus, while offering mantric praise to Godhead in devotion, by this method one can also add to memory significant secular truths. Can we? --National Pi Day is March 14th (3.14) :-), seriously. :-) --March 14th is also Albert Einstein's birthday! :-) --And last but not the least, only 47 decimal places of Pi would be sufficently precise to inscribe a circle around the visible universe that doesnt deviate from perfect circularity by more than the distance across a single proton. Aum Shanti Shanti Shanti. --Sanjay Aggarwal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 Hello Sanjay, Brilliant finding.!!!! But the thing I have discovered is just unbelievable. I am working on the amazing truth . The article's first posting will be made on 7th. Just think of the following. I first wrote that Rahu is Pi on 02.02.2004. Real Meaning came like flash on 04.02.2004 My finding will come out in open on 07.02.2004 Some numbers!!!
