![Rewritten Article: The ancient Vedic mathematical sciences held a prominent position in the development of Indian culture, considering mathematics as the mother of all sciences.

During ancient times, mathematics was primarily employed in practical applications. Mathematical methods were utilized to solve problems in architecture and construction, such as the public works of Harappa, as well as in astronomy and astrology, as evidenced by the works of Jain mathematicians.

Evidence suggests that mathematics began to be studied for its own sake during the fifth or sixth century BCE. In ancient India, the division between different professions was not as distinct as it is today. Consequently, most mathematicians were considered priest-mathematicians or rishis who also focused on mathematics, among other areas of knowledge. The Vedic perspective on mathematics emphasized that understanding the material reality could be achieved through the cultivation of transcendental knowledge. According to this worldview, knowing the absolute truth also leads to the understanding of relative truths. Thus, science was regarded as a smaller circle encompassed by the larger circle of spirituality. Mathematics served as a bridge between comprehending the material world and spiritual concepts. Vedic mathematicians strongly believed that every discipline should have a purpose and viewed the ultimate goal of life as achieving self-realization and self-perfection. As a result, mathematics was often presented in a unique format. Most mathematical concepts were conveyed through the Sutra method, where a list of laws was provided, and each law derived its data and authority from a preceding law.
