Srinivasa Ramanujam credits his mathematical findings to Namagiri Thaayar. According to Ramanujan, she appeared to him in visions, proposing mathematical formulas that he would then have to verify. One such event was described by him as follows:
"While asleep, I had an unusual experience. There was a red screen formed by flowing blood, as it were. I was observing it. Suddenly a hand began to write on the screen. I became all attention. That hand wrote a number of elliptic integrals.
They stuck to my mind. As soon as I woke up, I committed them to writing."
Furthermore, Ramanujan's mother received permission from Namagiri Thayar for Ramanujan to go to England in a dream

Three months before his death, he wrote a letter to Hardy that outlined his groundbreaking discovery of the mock theta functions of orders 3, 5, and 7. These are now considered to be among Ramanujan’s deepest contributions.
He once said, "An equation for me has no meaning unless it expresses a thought of God"
