Talking about Ramanujan, Prasad said: “He (Ramanujam) was not an ordinary person. His spiritual power was very strong. Before explaining any theorem, he used to see it in his dreams.”

“Srinivasa Ramanujan’s birthday, which was celebrated as National Mathematics Day in the entire country, now on the request of the Prime Minister, National Mathematics Day will be celebrated for a week and everyone should be made aware of the contribution of mathematics in the development of the country,” Prasad said.
