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 benevolence, 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.

Their association was strangely touching one. Hardy did

not forget that he was in the presence of a genius, but genius

that was, even in mathematics, almost untrained. Ramanujan

had not been able to enter Madras (Chennai) University because

he could not matriculate in English. According to Hardy’s

report, he was always amiable and good-natured, but no doubt

he sometimes found Hardy’s conversation outside mathematics

more than a little baffling. He seemed to have listened with a

patient smile on his good, friendly, homely face. Even in

hope it will be helpful to you
