I just came across this  below article today-7 reasons why there  are tremendous benefits to reading

BOOKS-that’s right actual books as opposed to  something on a ipad or a computer.

Here is what some scientists have listed as the benefits.

1.lowers stress levels

2.better sleep at night

3.strengthens mind reading ability- to read “thoughts” and “feelings” of  others

4.keeps brain from getting alzheimers disease

5.one becomes more empathetic

6.keeps brain sharp

7.self help books ward off depression

SB 1.7.7      Simply by giving aural  reception to this Vedic literature, the feeling for loving devotional service  to Lord Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, sprouts up at once to  extinguish the fire of lamentation, illusion and  fearfulness.

SB 1.5.11   On the other hand, that literature which is  full of descriptions of the transcendental glories of the name, fame, forms,  pastimes, etc., of the unlimited Supreme Lord is a different creation, full  of transcendental words directed toward bringing about a revolution  in the impious lives of this world’s misdirected civilization.  Such transcendental literatures, even though imperfectly composed,  are heard, sung and accepted by purified men who are thoroughly  honest.
