The Forgotten Math of the Ancients
When the world was counting in thousands, India was calculating in trillions of trillions with precision.
🧵#Thread Let’s explore the jaw-dropping mathematical brilliance of our Vedic Rishis.👇

2. Ancient Civilizations & Math:
Mesopotamians: No specific large terms
Egyptians: Counted up to 10⁶
Greeks: Max was “Myriad” (10⁴)
Romans: 10³
Chinese: 10⁴
But the Vedic Acharyas?
Brace yourself...

3. Ancient Vedic Acharyas:
Largest Number: Dhvajagranishamani= 10⁴²¹
Smallest Unit: Truti = 3 × 10⁻⁷
That’s more precision than even many modern calculators can handle.

4. Vedic math wasn’t just numbers it included:
Zero (Shunya)
Infinity (Ananta)
Negative numbers
Decimal system
Time units like Truti (microseconds) & Paramanu
Long before the West even imagined these concepts.

5. Truti - ~0.0000003 seconds
Paramanu - 26.3 microseconds
This wasn’t random. It was used in astronomy, rituals, and calendar making.
The Vedas literally mapped space and time to the tiniest detail.

6. Compare that to others: While other civilizations had no concept of infinity or zero, Vedic texts freely talked of “Shunya” and “Ananta” in spiritual and mathematical contexts.
Isn’t that next-level genius?

7. In a time when others were using Roman numerals or counting with fingers, Indians were mastering exponentials, fractals, and cosmology.
From Aryabhata to Pingala, this was a land of living supercomputers.

8. Remember-these weren’t just abstract concepts.
Vedic Math was used in:
Jyotish (Astronomy)
Panchang (Calendars)
Temple Architecture
Spiritual Sadhanas
It wasn’t theory. It was applied genius.

9. Vedic Civilization gave the world:
The concept of zero
Decimal place value system
Gigantic numbers & micro-units
The first time-division units in sub-seconds
And we still call it "ancient"?
10. Vedic Math isn't just India's legacy. It's humanity’s greatest untold story.
