Become a Buddhi Yogi!

You know them as great leaders and thinkers who impacted the course of history. 

We call them Buddhi Yogis. The yogis of the Intellect. (“Buddhi” in ancient Sanskrit means “Intellect”.)

This is the yog(a) of cultivating one’s mind. 

You too are a Buddhi Yogi. Until now you worked zealously to develop your intellect and cultivate your mind. It has been a long journey of learning of experiences. Life too taught its own lessons. Your own struggles brought their own learning. We are what we have learnt. 

We at CogniLingua have been following senior Buddhi yogis and we found that even in their old age they have amazing memory, intellectual rigour and mental sharpness.

Age did not diminish their cognitive abilities in any way. They were intellectually vigorous and productive.  

While we see so many aging people around suffering from cognitive degeneration and perils like Dementia especially Alzheimer’s, these Buddhi Yogis are actually flourishing as they age. 

What is their secret?

Our profound research revealed that it is their continual and creative engagement with language and new learning that keeps their brain alert, sharp and cognitively fit. Their continual and varied cognitive engagement kept their brains what neurobiologist call “neuroplastic” and built “cognitive reserves.” 

Justice V.R. Krishna Iyer wrote a book when he was 97 years old. One can get Nobel Prize even at the age of 90  like Leonid Hurwicz.

Winston Churchill (despise eating, drinking and so so much) write tomes – six big volumes after the end of the Second World War. Churchill was sixty-five years old in May 1940, yet his energy exhausted aides half his age. It was their continued Buddhi Yog that powered and empowered their brains to remain cognitively healthy and fit. Age did not diminish the sharpness of their brains.

The Founder and Director of CogniLingua Mr. Prakash Almeida had the good fortune of interacting with some of the great Buddhi Yogis of our times such as Shri. Nani Palkhivala,  H. M. Seervai, Dr. P.C. Alexander, Shri. S. Ramakrishannan, Swami Ranganathananda, Ms. Usha Mehta, Shri. Minoo Masani, and many others. The cognitive fitness of these Buddhi yogis even in the evening of their life was astounding. 

Inspired by these Buddhi Yogis Mr. Almeida launched an independent exploratory research and found that we can keep our brain healthy and fit even during old age if we practice the Buddhi Yog. 

His team developed certain cognitive resources to practice this Buddhi Yog. He concluded that practicing the Buddhi Yog postpones cognitive degeneration and actually saves from the perils of Dementia. Latest neurobiological research has confirmed that engaging in creative cognitive activities keep brain sharp and fit. Brain creates new neurons and keep them wiring and rewiring. 

Neurobiologists advise old people to learn new skills such as new language, etc. Ours is a learning brain and we need to keep it learning in order to keep it fit and productive. 

CogniLingua’s research culminated in a unique self study program for aging people to keep brain healthy and fit. This program gives ample opportunities for systematic creative cognitive engagements that stimulates the brain and maintains its neuroplasticity.

Note that this is an inter disciplinary and multi disciplinary program embracing multiple knowledge domains. 

Here CogniLingua draws your urgent attention to the health and fitness of YOUR BRAIN.  Be awakened the need to take special care of your brain. Nothing is more important than your brain. Simply put, don’t take chances with your brain’s health! You are what your brain is.

Our memories of the past, our dreams  for the future, our ability to recall, reason and think… it’s all in that three-pound organ between our ears – our brain. 

That we grow old is a fact of life. Modern medical science gives us long life but what matters most is not just longevity but quality, dignity and grace. Sunset too could be graceful. A brain that is cognitively fit and fine,  youthful, robustly creative is  a great blessing. As we grow old we need to be alerted to take special care of our brain. Some people ignore it at their peril. Our brain is all that what we are. 

Nothing could be of more urgent a priority than caring the health and cognitive fitness of our brain. 

You know the horrors of Alzheimer’s disease. Nothing could be worse than memory loss.  Alzheimer’s disease robs its victims of their very humanity and terrorizes their families. Their memories, their capacity for thought, their ability to live full and independent lives-all gone, in a grim and unrelenting descent into a mental abyss where they no longer know their loved ones, their past, the world, or themselves. As Harvard Health Review 

Cognitive degeneration may be round the corner. 

As we grow old there is age-induced cognitive degeneration/impairment which could lead to the perils of Dementia. Alzheimer’s is rising worldwide and alarmingly in India. You know how worse life could be in Alzheimer’s. There is disappointing news about the failure of drugs tested by Roche to halt cognitive decline due to Alzheimer’s. It has become a devastating peril of our times. 

And here CogniLingua’s Buddhi Yog, the Cognitive Yog program aimed at cognitive optimization comes as a good news.

In many of our interactions with Nani Palkhivala he shared some secrets of his scintillating genius. These great minds like Palkhivala were sharp and creative and a force to reckon with even as they grew old. The secret was that they kept challenging their brains in various creative ways. They achieved continual cognitive regeneration. 

If recently you have begun to notice that you have trouble remembering names of people or things around you, or you have difficulty finding your words; it could be the result of normal aging or it could be a condition called MCI – Mild Cognitive Impairment. This could be happening to your loved ones.

As the latest research neuroscience confirms, constantly evolves and you can exploit its power to acquire new cognitive abilities, resilience, reserves and power. The key is to provide constant stimuli to your brain to expand its cognitive potential. Doing repetitive, process-oriented work does not essentially lead to challenging your brain and expansion of cognitive abilities.
