Yet another genius..


Yet another genius..

Yet another feat in late 1800s and early 1900s.
There was another mathematics genius.

Ramanuja.
There was an eminent mathematician, by name Prof Hardy, in University of Cambridge. Prof Hardy invited Ramanuja to London.

About the wonder that Ramanuja was, Osho in his , 'Hidden Mysteries' writes:

' The geius and capabilities of Ramanuja were such they could not have been due to MENTAL powers:
The intellect moves very slowly,
Thinking takes time,
But Ramanuja didn't take any time in responding to Hardy's questions."

Even before the question was complete, pat came Ramanuja's answer. This puzzled mathematicians of that time. What it takes a minimum of six hours for even the best of mathematians to solve a complicated maths problem, and still they wouldn't be sure of accuracy, Ramanuja would solve them in no time with absolute accuracy.

At the age of 36, due to severe Tuberculosis, he was hospitalized. Prof Hardy came to visit him at the hospital. The Prof parked his car in a short distance near the room where Ramanuja was admitted. From the room Ramanuja could see the number plate of the car. He said to Prof Hardy the number was unique and had four special aspects to it. So saying Ramanuja breathed his last.

It baffled Prof Hardy and it took six months to just decipher what Ramanuja was saying. Prof Hardy could discover only 3 out of four aspects Ramanuja mentioned.

Prof left a will that the research on the number should continue so that the 4th aspect could be found out. It took 22 years after Prof Hard's death to discover the 4th aspect.

This day is Maha Shivratri. Osho attributes the genius of Ramanuja to the activation of third eye, agnya chackra When a problem is presented to Ramanuja, he squeezes eyebrows and his concentration was the space between two eyebrows. 

In Yoga the the space between two eyebrows is described as third eye. If the same is activated, Osho writes, 

"....it's possible see events and scenes from different realms in their entirety."

Imagine how Sanjaya was able to describe what happened in the Kurukshetra precisely sitting near the blind Monarch Dratharstra.
