The rule of balancing in Vedic Math is explained here. Try the pure mental method stepwise along with.

2. Vedic Addition
• Welcome to the first topic of Vedic
Mathematics! Here, we will learn basic Vedic
Addition.
Vedic Addition is super easy, you just need to
know single-digit addition!
• Let us start with a very simple sum-

3. 29+34
Step 1: Add all numbers belonging
to the same place (tens, units) and
write their sums down as shown
in the picture below

4. 29+34
Step 1: Add all numbers belonging
to the same place (tens, units) and
write their sums down as shown
in the picture below

5. Form a clear idea about the place
values of each digits- tenth.
Hundredth etc.

6. This is called as the balancing rule.
You've got the answer!
In Addition, we only use balancing
rule in base 10. Bases are powers
of 10 ( 10, 100, 1000...). When a
number is close to 10, its base is
10. When it is closer to 100, its
base is 100 and so on...

7. 1-50 = base 10
51- 500 = base 100
501- 5000 = base 1000 and so on.

8. In base 10 balancing rule, we only
wrote down one digit at a time,
but in base 100, we write 2 digits
at a time, 3 digits in base 1000, 4
digits in base 10000 and so on...

9. For now, this might just seem like
regular addition, but when adding
large numbers, you will notice
how much less time it takes to add
the numbers!

10. Some examples-
1) 441 + 435 + 196

11. Some examples-
1) 441 + 435 + 196

12. After adding the numbers from their
respective places, we get 09 | 16 |
12 ( 9 is the sum of the numbers at
the hundreds place, 16 is the sum of
numbers at the tens place and so on.

13. Now, using the balancing rule, we
can get the answer easily. We write
the 2 down, carry 1 to 16, add them
to get 17, write 7 down, carry over
the remaining 1 and add it to 09 to
get 10 and write it down as it is to
get 1072 as the answer.

14. Some examples-
1) 441 + 435 + 196
Practice it in the pure mental way
too

15. 2) 2133 + 961 +1657

16. 2) 2133 + 961 +1657

17. 2) 2133 + 961 +1657
Try the mental method

18. We get 03 | 16 | 14 | 11 after adding the numbers.
Now using the Balancing rule, the first (1) in (11) is
written down as it is. The remaining (1) is carried
to (14). Adding the two gives us (15). The (5) in (15)
is written down and the (1) is carried over to add
to (16) which gives us (17). (7) is written down and
(1) is carried over to (03) to give us (04) and (4) is
written down to give us the number 4751.

19. We get 03 | 16 | 14 | 11 after adding the numbers.
Now using the Balancing rule, the first (1) in (11) is
written down as it is. The remaining (1) is carried
to (14). Adding the two gives us (15). The (5) in (15)
is written down and the (1) is carried over to add
to (16) which gives us (17). (7) is written down and
(1) is carried over to (03) to give us (04) and (4) is
written down to give us the number 4751.

20. 456 + 315 + 708 = ?

21. 456 + 315 + 708 = ?

22. 456 + 315 + 708 = ?
Try to do it by the mental
method. Explain!

23. Continue Practicing like that
Till you achieve the required
mental processing speed; and never quit.
