Vedic mathematics 'a success'

Vedic Mathematics online sessions run through E-Gurukul.net were a thumping success. More than 120 learners from New Zealand, Australia, USA, Canada, Japan, Singapore and India participated in web-based live audio-visual Vedic Mathematics training sessions organised by volunteers of Hindu Council of New Zealand on July 31 and August 1, 2010.
The online sessions commenced with a short prayer acknowledging all teachers. The session was conducted by Sai Kiran, a well known speaker and trainer in Speed Maths techniques. Participants had an opportunity to interact directly with Mr Sai Kiran over the platform provided by www.E-Gurukul.net.
“Vedic Mathematics online sessions were an important milestone in our endeavour of E-Gurukul.net. We were able to share the introductory knowledge of Vedic Mathematics with participants from across the globe using the state of art technology,” said Usha Koppaka, one of the organisers from Auckland.
“The session reverberated with enthusiasm and fun as the techniques of Vedic Mathematics got all participants involved completely in the learning process” she added.
The sessions concluded with a vote of thanks and a short prayer for world peace and harmony.
Here are some of the comments from the participants:
“Fabulous. Maths is so interesting and simple. Have passed exams but actual learning started only now”
"It was wonderful to connect to a class from a faraway place and to experience an introduction to a fascinating subject"
"I am a mathematics teacher. But, after attending online Vedic mathematics sessions, I feel like I have learnt more than what I have learnt till today"
E-Gurukul.net, an online platform, is an endeavour to disseminate practical knowledge and wisdom gifted by the great scientists, mathematicians, philosophers and sages of ancient India. It brings online courses in art, science, and holistic living.
Vedic mathematics is easy to use and understand as compared to conventional teaching of mathematics in schools, and creates interest in children to solve mathematical problems in a fun and intuitive way.
With so much interest from the participants and others who missed these sessions, the volunteers of Hindu Council of New Zealand have decided to run another 8-hours FREE web-based online course on Vedic mathematics sharing various techniques. Once again, this course will be run by Mr Sai Kiran from India and everyone is welcome to join from any part of the globe. These sessions will be more beneficial to mathematics teachers.
The sessions will be on:
Saturday, 18 Sept 2010 (12.30 to 2.30 pm)
Sunday, 19 Sept 2010 (12.30 to 2.30 pm)
Saturday, 25 Sept 2010 (12.30 to 2.30 pm)
Sunday, 26 Sept 2010 (12.30 to 2.30 pm)
Please note that registration closes on 12 September 2010. If you are interested, please register at http://www.e-gurukul.net
The Hindu Council of New Zealand has been promoting Vedic mathematics for over ten years in New Zealand. As interest in Vedic Mathematics is growing, Hindu Council of New Zealand is looking for more volunteers to promote this knowledge to wider community.
“We believe these sessions will create volunteers who can then take this knowledge to various schools and tertiary institutes in New Zealand,” said Dr Guna Magesan, a senior scientist by profession and the General Secretary of Hindu Council of New Zealand.
