Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Ahom religion  is the ethnic religion  of the Ahom people in Assam, India.  The Ahom people came into Assam in 1228, led by a Tai prince Sukaphaa, and admixed with the local people.  The people who came into Assam included two clans of priests, joined later by a third, who brought with them their own religion, rituals, practices and scriptures. The religion is based on ritual-oriented ancestor worship that required animal sacrifice (Ban-Phi), though there was at least one Buddhism influenced ritual in which sacrifice was forbidden (Phuralung). Ancestor worship and the animistic concept of khwan are two elements it shares with other Tai folk religions.  There is no idolatry except for the titular god of the Ahom king and though there is a concept of heaven or a heavenly kingdom (Mong Phi, sometimes identified with a part of Yunan), there is no concept of hell.  It was the state religion of the Ahom kingdom in the initial period.
The Ahom kingdom expanded suddenly in the 16th-century and the Ahoms became a small minority in their own kingdom—though they continued to wield control.  Subsequently, they slowly converted and by the early 19th-century, Ahom religion declined to be replaced by Hinduism.  In the 1931 survey, all Ahoms returned Hinduism as their religion.  Nevertheless, since the 1960s and 1970s due to an Ahom revivalism movement, as well as efforts from scholars, many of the older practices of the Ahom religion are being resurrected.
The three priestly clans (Mo'sam, Mo'hung, Mo'Plong) of the Ahom people are the current custodians of the Ahom religion.
