An Interview of Shri Shankaracharya by our Founder on Vedic Mathematics, 2006

It is generally accepted as tradition that Adi Sankaracharya (The Greatest Indian Philosopher) founded four mathas (monasteries) as seats of Hindu religion at four ends of India- the Sringeri matha on the Sringeri hills in the south, the Sharada matha on the Dwaraka coast in the west, the Jyotish matha at Badrinath in the north, the Govardhan matha at Puri, Orissa in the east. These are the four major spiritual centres in India. Jagadguru Swami Bharti Krishna Tirthaji Mahraja- the father of High Speed Vedic Math became the Sankaracharya (Head) of Govardhan Matha Puri in 1925.

Hence the Govardhan Monastery became the seat of Vedic Mathematics as well along with other philosophical subjects.

The Vedic Maths Forum India has been blessed by the current Sankaracharya and it continues to do its work with pride under the saint’s blessings.
