Abstract

This research article explores the intriguing connection between the ancient Vedic mathematical wisdom embedded in Vedic texts and the calculation of the mathematical constant Pi. The Shatapatha Brahmana and Vedic verses from Rigveda provide approximations of Pi, showcasing the advanced mathematical understanding of Vedic scholars during the Vedic period. The study delves into the use of Vedic numerical codes and the application of the Katapayadi encryption system, revealing how ancient sages encoded mathematical information in hymns.
