Abstract

This paper examines Bhāskarāchārya’s unique pedagogical methods, which are characterised by emotional intelligence, poetic storytelling, spiritual integration, and intuitive problem-solving strategies. The research analyses examples from his seminal works, especially Līlāvatī, to illustrate how Bhāskarāchārya engaged students emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually. His methods contrast sharply with conventional contemporary practices, offering valuable insights for modern education. Through comparative analysis with contemporary educational theories, the paper highlights practical implications for enhancing mathematics teaching today, making it more intuitive, engaging, and culturally meaningful for learners.
