Veda Memorized over 150 Sanskrit verses at just five years old, earned a place in the India Book of Records for the second time
Veda, a five-year-old girl living in the Vemali area of Vadodara, has earned a place in the India Book of Records for her memory power by reciting the Achyutashtakam Stotra, composed in Sanskrit by Adi Shankaracharya.
This five-year-old, a native of Rajnagar, Desar taluka, and currently living in Vemali Siddheshwar Helix, Vadodara, has a very good memory. She accompanies her father to his medicine shop. Opposite the shop is another shop where the Hanuman Chalisa is recited daily. She regularly listens to the Hanuman Chalisa. By listening to it, she has memorized it.
Veda cannot read. She has memorized over 150 Sanskrit verses simply by listening to it. She has memorized all the verses from the Shiva Tandava, the Dwadasha Jyotirlinga, the Krishnashtakam, the Hanuman Chalisa, and the Trikal Sandhya, the fifth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita.
There are two reasons behind Veda’s memory power: Veda does not use a mobile phone. When she was pregnant, her parents regularly studied the Bhagavad Gita.
Veda Parthabhai Hirpara is five years old. Veda has been included in the India Book of Records for being the youngest to recite Achyutashtakam, composed by Adi Shankaracharya.
This is Veda’s second record. Previously, Veda was also included in the India Book of Records for being the youngest to recite Krishnashtakam, composed by Adi Shankaracharya, in two minutes and 49 seconds.
Her father, Parthab Hirpara, said that if parents spend time with their children instead of explaining things to them, they will obey everything they say. If spirituality is explained to the child, then the child will be able to think about good and bad things and take his own decisions.
