Way to Remember the Gita Verses (Shlokas)

See and visualize each of the eight syllables in a single line of a verse (shloka), and carefully, with single-pointed attention read it five times. Before memorizing the verse, it is absolutely essential for the student to listen to their own articulation and pronunciation of each of the syllables in a line and wherever a mistake is being made, to correct it. To avoid making a mistake, take each of the eight syllables in a single line, and along with reciting them, count them with your fingers. Each line when it is read in this manner ten times, it will be remembered.

Before going to bed, the new shlokas that were memorized on that day, recite them without looking at the Gita, and while recollecting them, go to sleep. On waking up, once again revisit those shlokas and repeat recollecting them. With ease these shlokas will be remembered.

If you make it a practice to recollect and revisit recitation of these shlokas both while going to bed and on waking up, in a short period of time, these verses will be very easily memorized.

Finally to stabalize the recollection of these verses (shlokas), regularly and daily at the very minimum one time without the help of the book (Gita), continue to recite them.
