The extraordinary story of how in 1914 the self-taught maths genius SRINIVASA RAMANUJAM was brought from Madras to Trinity College, Cambridge, by the great English pure mathematician G H Hardy, who called their relationship the one truly romantic episode of my life. Where did his mathematics come from? Ramanujam, much to the chagrin of rationalists, claimed to dream of blood drops that symbolised family Goddess Namagiri Lakshmis male consort, Narasimha, after which he would receive visions of scrolls of complex mathematical content unfolding before his eyes. He often said, An equation for me has no meaning, unless it represents a thought of God. Credit: Christopher Sykes https://youtube/watch?v=OARGZ1xXCxs
