Buddhi Yoga
What is buddhi yoga
The word "yoga" comes from the Sanskrit root “yuj”, which means "to join" or "to yoke". Buddhi, one of the wives of Lord Ganeṣa, is the intellectual faculty. It is the power of the human mind to form and retain concepts, reason, judge, comprehend and understand. Buddhi Yoga is the “joining” of the buddhi to the karma, or actions. The practice of acting with awareness.
This game, can best be enjoyed, if played with an intellectual awareness and curiosity to each throw of the dice. Therefore, in my humble opinion, the name “buddhi yoga” fits this game.

buddhyā yukto yayā pārtha

To explain the techniques of living, Sri Kṛṣṇa employs the term “buddhi yoga” (a technique of wisdom). I quote Swami Chinmayanandaji - “By this “buddhi yoga” one can snap the vāsanā1 bondage and release oneself to be supremely free and when you act thereafter, it is but a play; a motiveless sport; a mere self-expression in sheer gay abandon.”
The snakes and ladders game that we commonly play today, was a game of virtues, not many years ago. It was quite simplistic, and built on common western thoughts of virtues and vices. Our eastern tradition and philosophy, however, is significantly different in its assessment of virtues and vices. The “intention” behind “the thought” that creates the action is an important modifier, and an understanding of this is what “being aware” of ones actions implies.
This “buddhi yoga”, helps with just that. The player is inspired “to become aware”, albeit in a playful way!
The word vāsanā represents our knowledge / understanding combined with our experiences. Our individual “wisdom” combined with our “attachments”. Google translates vāsanā to “desire” and “passion”, but I think that vāsanā is the very pattern of our thinking, which is affected, of course, by our attachments and desires.
