CONCEPTUAL STUDY OF MEMORY (SMRITI) IN AYURVEDA
*Dr. Anurag Narware and Dr. Saurabh Mehta
Abstract
A characteristic of animals and particularly of humans is their ability to
alter their behaviour, actions, and perception on the basis of
experience. Learning is acquisition of the facts and information.
Memory or Smriti on the other hand is the retention and storage of that
information. Memory has two variables viz. Physiological and
Pschological. Smriti is derived from both atma and sattva which starts
manifesting itself in the 5th month of intra-uterine life. The article
attempts to explain the Smriti in its various aspects.
Keywords: Smriti, Atma, Sattva, Memory.
