MATHEMATICIAN. (The Quest).

Visiting the Temple again.

The next day, I went to the Temple, and gave the donations. I saw the Priest, and narrated it to him about my incident the other night, how I was pulled over; I informed him that, I borrowed the Holy Tridents from the Altar for warding off the evil spirits. The Priest was a Gentleman, and he never objected to it, as he was glad that, I was safe. We sat on the floor near the Altar, and talked for a while, his name was Bharadwaji, and then, I looked at the altar. The altar was filled with the bowls of aniseeds, cinnamons, carom seeds, clove, betel nuts, dry ginger, fenugreek seed, asafoetida, alum, mustard oil, coriander seeds, nigella seeds, dry mango powder, nutmegs, mace, star anise, bay leaf, sesame oil, Holy Basil Leaves, and camphor tablets. These recipes except for camphor tablets are used in foods; however, I was surprised, and asked him about them. Bharadwaji told me that, these ingredients are used in small quantities as an offering to God, by burning it in the Holy Fire, which is burned in a square altar, and this is an alternate option of sanctifying the house or any place. He feed me with much information in regards to this topic, after having an amusing conversation, and when I was to leave, he gave me Prayer Beads, and told me to keep it around my neck.

The Prayer Beads is specially Worshipped, which can harness Divine Powers to ward off evil spirits, and also he taught me some Ancient Holy Hymns which can ward off contaminated spirits. At last Bharadwaji told me that, I have the silent blessings of some people who are praying for me, which had kept me protected. I thanked Bharadwaji for his gesture, and I gave him money. Bharadwaji strictly refrained from taking money, and advised me to donate this money to poor or needy people. I bid adieu to him, and he blessed me, and then, as he advised, I donated this amount to the orphanage.

Everything was normal after that; I followed my daily routine of teaching the students at college, and during weekends visiting the NGO for teaching poor students, and also I began writing horror stories in full fledge. During my free time, I use to study Vedic Mathematics, so I had come across various mathematicians who contributed towards Vedic Mathematics, which directly contributed towards the advancement of the World.
