Hinduism - What Is Svadhyaya?


(“study”) Because religious writings were usually studied by reciting them, the term "study" connotes "oral recitation." 

This is one of the methods listed in the Yoga Sutras as one of the preliminary parts to yoga, since the book believes that such study reduces karmic obstacles and improves the capacity to enter trance.

Even in modern times, the act of reciting a holy book is seen to have various spiritual advantages and the ability to alter the person reciting if done over a lengthy period of time.
