Abstract

This thesis is an attempt to bring out the concealed mathematical information in the Vedic text “Śri Rudram”, by applying Vedic Numerical Code to digitally decode the mantras in the Śri Rudram which forms part of the fourth canto of the Krishna Yajur Veda Taittiriya Samhitā.

By converting the letters into numbers, it was possible to handle the concealed information in a mathematical and logical way to successfully arrive at a convincing reason for the traditional practice of chanting Śri Rudram eleven times in a particular prescribed manner; as well as finding the close relationship between the number 11 and Śri Rudra Bhagawan.

That the information is concealed in the lyrics was not brought out in any previously published literature.

Three papers were published by me in international peer reviewed journals of Sanskrit. A few more papers are also ready for publication.

There is a need for such a study to find out whether other Vedic and Sanskrit literatures also have a wealth of information hidden undiscovered.

There is ample scope for further research in this area.
