Vedic Maths

Hindusearchengine.com is now looking into ancient vedic sciences to add to its database. In vetting sites on Vedic mathematics, I found wikipedia to be the best that there is on the subject. The other sites are very terse in information, usually advertising books or tutorials. For those looking to master mental arithmetic, the ancient wisdom of Vedic maths can come in handy. India consistently churns out maths geniuses, from early human civilization, such as Arybhata, to more contemporary math masters like Ramanujan Srinivasa. An article on www.watershed.com.br, titled "Why are Indians natural math geniuses?" provides a hypothesis of why it is so.

Neem Karoli Baba

Who is Neem Karoli Baba?

Excerpted from Wikipedia. "Shri Neem Karoli Baba or Shri Neeb Karori Baba(died September 11, 1973, in Vrindavan, India), also known to followers as Maharaj-ji, was a Hindu guru and devotee of the Hindu deity Hanuman. He is known outside India for being the guru of a number of Americans who travelled to India in the 1960s and 1970s, the most well-known being the spiritual teachers Ram Dass and Bhagavan Das, and the musicians Krishna Das and Jai Uttal. His ashrams are in Kainchi, Vrindavan, Rishikesh, Shimla, Bhumiadhar, Hanuman Ghar, Lucknow, Delhi in India and in Taos, New Mexico, USA."

A humble devotee of Lord Hanuman, Maharaji was a candid saint who inspired his devotees to do humanitarian services and seek for their spiritual self. This website is the best there is on him, with stories and resources such as video clips, voice recordings and more.

Food Fit For The Gods

This is what neivedyam means. Any food prepared as part of offerings for worship of the Divine in Hindu liturgy is called neivedyam. Needless to say that such food is 100% vegetarian, meaning no meats or egg, but dairy products and honey are allowed. Neivedyam.com is an well presented and informative website for making traditional Indian vegetarian dishes (South Indian and North Indian dishes are abound). There are beautiful pictures of the dishes and the recipes are precise and cooking instructions helpful and clear. It is a blog site therefore the comments are helpful too. This site is a true treasure on the internet, which is actually has only a dearth of quality Indian vegetarian recipe sites. You will be easily drawn by the passion for cooking by the author who goes by the name Sharmi. I have added this site into HinduSearchEngine.com to further its reach into spiritual gastronomy.
