Human Brain: A Marvellously Rich Storehouse of Memory-V

= Pt. ShriRam Sharma

A French Minister of yesteryears Monsieur Leon Meijere was also endowed with outstanding memory. Just after hearing them once, he remembered the speeches of even the leaders of the opposite parties. He was also able to narrate the data of the national budgets of the past ten years like those retrieved from a computer-memory.
A former teacher of the Harrow School of England remembered the Latin works of the Roman poet Lucan by heart. 

The printed version of this work would add up to about 2600 pages. During one of the excursion trips of about sixteen miles, he entertained his colleagues by singing around eight thousand hymns of the historic epic "Pharsalia" (written approx. in AD61-65), which appeared to have been registered like a recorded tape in his memory- The annual report of the French Army used to be published since the 12th century. It contained the name, date of birth and rank of each officer and soldier. Interestingly, a waiter of a military canteen remembered the whole of this annual report of the year 1856. 

This man, named Felix Martini could tell the details of each of the 26208 records in this report whenever asked for. Piere Moschutz of Geneva had successfully memorized the eighteen lacs words printed in the seventeen volumes of the French Encyclopedia. Hedian, the celebrity emperor of Rome had a multitalented personality. He could write and converse simultaneously. Not only that, at times he even used to dictate letters along with these two simultaneous jobs. Equally amazing was the fact that he remembered the names and permanent addresses of all the pensioners of his empire. Meglia Vinnie of Italy was the chief librarian in the city library of Florence in late nineteenth Century. 

The information referring the title, price, publisher, of each of the thirty thousands books in his library was always ready on his lips. Not only that, he even remembered the location of each book correctly. Justice Hardayal Singh of former Delhi Court seemed to have multiple layers of memory. It is said that once he simultaneously read four books of four different languages written by different authors on separate topics. The reading was carried out in a peculiar manner -some portion of one book was read for some time followed by some other in continuation, and so on in the respective sequence. At the end of this session, he had orally reproduced the text of each of these books correctly without opening a single page of any book. The advanced models of electronic brains (computers) are far ahead of the normal memory of humans. But the above wonders of astonishing memory do illustrate the superiority of Nature and make us realise that what we know about our brains is only a small fraction of its marvellous potentialities. 

Thanks GOD, Thanks Sadguru,

The potentials of human brain are indeed limitless. It is a pity that only a few of us make adequate use of this invaluable gift of God. Its immense powers remain dormant or ignored in most of us and we usually employ its faculties only in earning and eating and in the routine chores of expanding and raising our families. We ought to awaken, activate and illuminate our dormant mental faculties of memory and other talents and enrich the quality of our lives. 

Mahatma Gandhi was on a fourteen-day fast without water in Sough Africa. After fasting for four days he received a telegram from a German friend, Kellen Bake, offering his nursing services during the period of fast. On the fifth day of fasting Gandhiji, along with his associates, walked three miles to the railway station to receive his friend. He said that Kellen's nobility of character gave him the energy to walk to the station.
