The Katapayadi Sankhya system is an ancient Indian numerical encoding method in which Sanskrit consonants are assigned numbers from 0 to 9, while vowels are ignored. This system was used extensively in astrology, classical music, mathematics, and spiritual literature to encode words and mantras into numerical vibrations.
