I'd like to improve my capacity to recall as necessary but my poor brain doesn't seem to do the greatest job. Any suggestions? I write the slokas on an index card (one sloka per card) and each day read one of them over and over. Set on it on my desk, carry it around with me. This has helped me.

That helps a bit too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Aryan Report post Posted January 6, 2014 Keep repeating slokas 4-5 times and you will automatically memorise them Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Study and understand its meaning. 2. take the shloka "to heart" or "into your heart" -- especially regarding Bhagvad Gītā type shlokas 3. visualize divine aspects of the shloka - as per what it talks about, if this is applicable - particularly in case of stutī and vandan --- glorification of a Deity (e.g. shlokas before and after Vishṇusahasranāma) 4. Say it everyday as part of your daily pūjā or whenever 5. If possible, hear it in master voices when and where you can . 6. If applicable, sing it in a standard tune. ________________ ameyAtmA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
