1/🗓️The Gregorian calendar is neither secular nor scientifically the best solution. It is a simplistic arithmetic calendar that tries to approximate an astronomical phenomenon through a set of rules. Let’s unbox the snowballing error in the Gregorian new year! #NotMyNewYear 2/⌛️A mean tropical year is actually 365.24219 days. Roman calendar approximated this to 365.25 days. The error is an overestimation by 11 minutes 14 seconds per year. This can look like a small difference but over 1000 years the error amounts to +7.8 days!

Ramanujan's brief life has not only kept top mathematicians busy all life, but also has challenged eurocentric enslavement to the delusion that atheism is core to science. On his 100th puṇyatithi / death anniversary, may we remember the mathematician who knew #infinite #bhakthi Taxicab Numbers, Nested Radicals & Continued Fractions, Partition functions, Ramanujan Primes, Ramanujan Sums, τ Function & Ramanujan's Conjecture were not the only things that stirred the world. His life will stir us within, whether we know math or not #MathBhakth #puṇyatithi

If you ever wondered what makes Āryabhaṭa so great, here is a sampling from Āryabhaṭīya (499 CE) written by the maestro while he was 25. Gaṇitapāda chapter with just 33 terse verses will make you wonder why aren't all Indians studying works of this genius. #AwesomeAryabhata Here's the mind-blowing spectrum of mathematics covered in Gaṇitapāda with just 33 verses: 1. Saṃkhyāsthāna: Place value system 2.Vargaparikarma, ghanaparikarma: Squaring and cubing. 3.Vargamūlānayana: Obtaining the square-root 4.Ghanamūlānayana: Obtaining the cube-root

1/5~ Astronomy found in the vedic saṃhitās, brāhmaṇas and allied literature reveal India's roots in the long running pursuit of excellence in Jyotisha & Gaṇitā. The Moon is called Sūrya-raśmi i.e., one which shines by sunlight (Taittirīyasaṃhitā 3.4.7.1). 2/5~ The dependence of Moon’s phases on its elongation from the Sun is implicit in a description in Śatapatha-brāhmaṇa. 1.5.4.18-20. The Moon’s path was divided into 27 or 28 equal parts, because the Moon took about 27&1/3 days in traversing it.
