4. Contribution Of Indian
Philosophers To
Mnemonics

5. Mnemonics is a learning technique that
aids information retention in the human
memory. Mnemonics make use of
elaborate encoding, retrieval cues, and
imagery as specific tools to encode any
given information in a way that allows for
efficient storage and retrieval. They help
use information already stored in long-
term memory to make memorization an
easier task.

6. In the modern education system, most of
the students would be exposed to the
orthographic representation of the sound
first and through this orthographic
representation he learns about the sound
value of that letter. On the other hand,
according to Ramanuja the mind of the
student should be exposed to the Vedic
sounds and only at a later stage he should
be exposed to its orthographic
representation. Ramanuja must have
realized that music helped commit verses to
memory. That is why he appointed a group
of people, called Vinnappam Seivaar, to
recite verses with music in temples.

7. In this context, it should be further
remembered, the sense organ of sound
develops first at the 16th week of the child in
the womb. Further, there is an inseparable
relationship between sound and ether
(shabda and akasha) according to the
Shastras. According to Ayurveda, human
being is a combination of Pancha
mahabhutas namely, earth, water, fire, air and
ether in which ether is at the highest level.
Our great Acharyas had realized this truth
and tried to educate the students at the
highest level of their physical structure in
which shabda or sounds especially Vedic
mantras could play an important role in
increasing their memory power and remove
all the viruses in the human system.
