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
=======
Sodhi is  a caste from the Punjab region, a subdivision of the Khatri caste. Seven of the Sikh Gurus, from Guru Ram Das on, were Sodhis.
In the Bachittar Natak, attributed to Guru Gobind Singh, Sodhis are described as linear descendants of Lava, one of the twin sons of Sita and Rama. According to the legend, some of the descendants migrated to Sanaudh, where the clan chieftain married the daughter of the king and had a son Sodhi, whose descendants ruled over the Sanaudh country.At the time of the Sikh Empire, Maharaja Ranjit Singh awarded aristocratic Sodhi patricians grants of jagirs, feudal, titular land grants and lordships bestowed upon subjected noblemen and patrons by a ruling monarch,  worth 500,000 rupees a year. Ranjit Singh lavishly patronised a descendant of Dhir Mal, Sodhi Sadhu Singh, with a gift of several villages. The original copy of the Adi Granth, also known as the Kartarpuri Bir, is reported to be in the possession of the descendants of Sodhi Sadhu Singh at Kartarpur.
