Question

Ramanujan turned out to be a poor clerk in Madras

(Chennai), living with his wife on twenty pounds a year. He

was usually strict about his religious observances, with a

mother who was even stricter. It seemed impossible that he

could break the ban and cross the water. Fortunately his

mother had the highest respect for the goddess of

Namakkal. One morning Ramanujan’s mother made a

startling announcement. She had a dream the previous

night, in which she saw her son seated in a big hall among a

group of Europeans and the goddess of Namakkal had

commanded her not to stand in the way of her son fulfilling

his life’s purpose. This, say Ramanujan’s Indian biographers,

was a very agreeable surprise to all concerned. In 1914, Ramanujan arrived in England. So far as Hardy

could detect (though in this respect I should not trust his

insight far) Ramanujan, despite the difficulties of breaking

the caste laws, did not believe much in theological doctrine,

except for a vague pantheistic benelolence, any more than

Hardy did himself. But he did certainly believe in ritual.

When Trinity put him up in college within four years he

became a fellow. There was no ‘‘Alan St. Aubyn” self -

indulgence for him at all. Hardy used to find him ritually

changed into his pyjamas, cooking vegetables rather

miserably in a frying pan in his own room.
