brajeshwara das Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 What techniques do you use for memorization of slokas? 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aryan Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Keep repeating slokas 4-5 times and you will automatically memorise them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ameyAtmA Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 1. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
