Speech of HH Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji – memorizing the Bhagavad Gita – February 11, 2017
Compiled by: Smt Hira Duvvuri
Sri Swamiji blesses and gives pointers on how to easily memorize the entire Bhagavad Gita in 18 weeks
Early in the morning, in a quiet place, with no TV or telephone to distract, after taking some refreshment, sit with a calm mind. Learn each sloka. Then recite it 7 times. Go down the page and repeat with each sloka like this, individually reciting each 7 times. Recite the whole page 7 times. Go backwards and recite shloka-wise bottom to top once. Then top to bottom twice. Once the chapter is finished, do the entire chapter 7 times from memory. Like this, do about 35 verses per week. In about 18 weeks, I challenge that using this procedure any person can memorize the entire Bhagavad Gita. Try it.
