Abstract
I am often asked whether I believe that Ramanujan’s findings truly came to him as visions from a goddess. I didn’t believe this for most of my life. Perhaps if I were a Hindu, I would have had an easier time subscribing to such a view. Instead, I wish to offer my opinion on a simpler question: was Ramanujan’s mathematics divine in origin?
