Vedas made him a world recorder |
Believe it or not. Jaipur resident Sunil Kumar Sharma has set a world record by memorizing 5,710 post-decimal digits of square root of two. In the process, he has beaten a US citizen who has held the record for 10 years. The rare achievement is registered by Pi World Ranking List, a body which registers records of memorizing highest number of Pi and Sqrt(2) values.A student of Shiksha Shastri at Jagadguru Ramanandacharya Rajasthan Sanskrit University in Jaipur, Sharma set the record by reciting post-decimal values of square root of two in one hour and 42 minutes. Sharma`s life transformed after his father insisted that he study Rig Veda and Yajur Veda. The Vedas taught Sharma to recall information by memorizing them as pictures. He can memorize thousands of digits by sequencing them into an episode or transforming them as an object. Our forefathers have mastered the art of storing visual memories for longer period, said Sharma.
