The ‘Vedas’ are considered ‘divine’ in origin and are assumed to be direct revelations from God. Much of the hype about this topic is based on one single book authored by the Sankaracharya, Jagadguru Swami Sri Bharati Krisna Tirthaji Maharaja titled Vedic Mathematics and published in the year 1965 and reprinted several times since the 1990s. In this the authors probe into Vedic Mathematics and explore whether it is really ‘Vedic’ in origin or ‘Mathematics’ in content. The entire field of Vedic Mathematics is supposedly based on 16 one -to three -word sutras (aphorisms) in Sanskrit, which can solve all modern mathematical problems. In this paper we have gone through different literature on ancient Vedic mathematics and its application. In this paper we discussed the Sutra: Nikhilam Navatascaramam Dasatah and its application.
