Congrats Kaushal for successfully pulling off this conference. Your focus and grit in getting the whole thing organized and worked out should be admired by all.

We should distinguish between "Vedic" mathematics being useful/usable and it being of genuine vedic origin. The former is probably indeed true -- though like any quick arithmetic system needs a lot of practice. With regards to its vedic origins I can assure you that there is absolutely no evidence for it occurring in the AV or its auxiliary literature as it survives.
Finally I have regained IF access after a while...
