'Science is My Religion,' Says Monk Who Won Rs. 65 Lakh Prize For Math

As of not long ago the holder of a financial balance with only a couple of thousand rupees, Professor Mahan Maharaj, an austere minister, is today the champ of a Rs. 65 lakh-prize for his work in geometry.

The very respected arithmetic teacher who has recently been selected by the world class Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in Mumbai, has won the desired Infosys Prize in Mathematics.

The prize was granted to him "for his exceptional commitments to geometric gathering hypothesis, low-dimensional topology and complex geometry".

"What let go my creative energy in schoolhttp://community.diabetes.org/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/263150 http://www.bookcrossing.com/mybookshelf/jntuworld/ was geometry since all things you see unique out to geometry. The subject gives you no extension for supporting and feigning, the subject is a stern slave driver," he said.

The 47-year-old turned into a minister in 1998 by joining the devout request of the Ramakrishna Mission. Around then he was seeking after his PhD in California.

In 2011, he won the of India's top science prizes- - the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Award.

"I take after no sorted out religion. On the off chance that you asked me and one put a weapon to my head I would most likely say science," he said.

Neither does he have an enthusiasm for governmental issues. "We are entirely unopinionated. Science is by nature objective," he said.
