Memory
Question
I am trying to perfect my retentive memory. I forgot what someone said at my workplace about a film, and even though I am practising brahmacharya I have not reached that stage of perfect retentive memory- can you help me if I gave as much details as possible? I remember what someone else asked him but then I forgot the name nof the film a few hours later.
Answer
Hello Sanjay,
Hope you are keeping fine. I assume your question here is regarding the benefits of Brahmacharya as regards memory development.
Memory building is a process that takes time. Brahmacharya, which helps in the build up and transmutation of semen into Ojas is one of the most effective ways of increasing one's memory quotient as semen can be called a derivative of the cerebro-spinal fluid and its conservation/transmutation alternately increase this fluid resulting in better growth and fine tuning of faculties of the brain. Twelve years of unbroken celibacy have been vouched for both by the scriptures and also people who have reached that state to help in the formation of the 'Buddhi Naadi', a special astral channel in the brain that promotes photographic memory and abilities of superior recall.
With honest and true Brahmacharya, one will start improving as regards to his power of recall with every passing year.
God bless and have a nice day :-)
