An appropriate tool for calculating limits of sequences over integers is DiscreteLimit. However DiscreteLimit[1/(a Sin[Pi^6Sin[π^6 a]), a -> ∞] cannot compute our task. On the other hand we can figure out that DiscreteLimit[a Sin[Pi^6Sin[π^6 a], a -> ∞] yields Indeterminate, i.e. it says that the limit does not exist and. We can also find it with calculating calculating discrete limes superior and limes inferior:

DiscreteMaxLimit[ a Sin[Pi^6Sin[π^6 a], a -> ∞]
DiscreteMinLimit[ a Sin[Pi^6Sin[π^6 a], a -> ∞]
 ∞
-∞

ForAlternatively one can find it with standard limes superior and limes inferior, e.g. Through @ { MinLimit, MaxLimit}[1/(a Sin[π^6 a]), a -> ∞]. For an insight it is reasonable to plot appropriate sequence

It is clearly seen that $\sin( \pi a)$ takes values between $-1$ and $1$, however $\sin(\pi^6 a)$ never equals but it can approach $-1$, $0$ and $1$ withwith a very good approximation for appropriately large integer values of $a$. E.g. we find $6$ values of $\sin(\pi^6 a)$ in the first $10^6$ natural numbers $a$ closest to $0$:
