Thus does Sri Krishna suggests the "Yoga of understanding", Buddhi Yoga to his disciples.  This Buddhi Yoga is seen to be manifested in an ancient game of snakes and ladders, known today by several other names like Gyan Chaupar and Mokshapattam.

Thus does Sri Krishna suggest the "Yoga of understanding", Buddhi Yoga to his disciples.  This Buddhi Yoga is seen to be manifested in an ancient game of snakes and ladders, known today by several other names like Gyan Chaupar and Mokshapattam.  As social systems changed, the game evolved by accepting the changing beliefs and traditions of the "newer societies".  The Jain, the Sufi, the Buddhists and Islam, all accepted the beautiful design of the board game, but changed it's content and structure to suit their context.  The British also adopted the game and re-designed it as a game of morals and ethics. Their colonies adopted this new version of snakes and ladders as well, and thus was India's age old "mokshapattam" re-christened as snakes and ladders that we play today.
