Sanskrit numbering systems

This is a wonderful way to explain how the olden Sanskrit numbering systems ware well established and accurate for billions of years. I remember when we ware kids we use to by heart all this number and i still count number position in Sanskrit only, like ekahm dasham etc. The irony is modern so called education is completely ignoring these wealth  treasures. there is need for restoring these learning in our education system to enrich our cultural heritage.
