Current scientific world is eagerly trying to understand Ayurveda which holds its strong place in main
stream.Ayurveda advocates holistic approach to human health care i.e. balance between physical, mental and
spiritual functions of the body. In this era of competition & professionalism people are overloaded with stress,
tension, anxiety & lack of sleep which adversely affect memory. Healthy state of body & mind is maintained
by avoiding pradnyaparadha which is dhi, dhruti & smruti bhransha. Literary meanings of smruti are
remembrance, recollection, and memory etc. In Ayurveda classics, smruti has different alterations in context
with prakruti. Hence the study is selected to define levels of smruti as per prakruti. Although prakruti is
unchangeable as it is determined by predominance of doshas at the time of birth but smruti can be improved as
it depends on physiology of dosha, indriya, mana, buddhi and atma. It is concluded that pertinent levels of
smruti related to prakruti are found. It can be assessed on the basis of subjective and objective criterion. To
improve smruti, selection of proper diet, exercise, meditation, pranayama is required.
