No, he's not a bullshitter and a plagiarist. The evidence seems to show that
he use the existing katapayadi system of Haridatta, found some new ways of
doing fast maths and coded some sutras to make the techniques easily
memorisable.
That's fine by me, because I'm exploring what he did to do the same in
english. The techniques do work.
But, did you try them or are your biases enough to persuade not to?
Yash.

So Yash, your beloved Tirthaji is shown to have been a bullshitter and a
plagiarist (from, it seems Madame Blavatsky, no less, tra la) who contrary
to your assertions did not "managed to find 19 aphorisms in Sanskrit by
which all sorts of mathematical feat may be performed. And may I say, much
more efficiently than the usual occidental maths we've all been taught." but
where he invented "encoded" versions of 16 sutras himself (not even having
to do as much "work" as Michael Drosnin),
