The word Swadhyay literally means "study of the self". Delving
deeper, we find that it is actually a life-changing experience.It is a
philosophy intended to uplift human life; as Rev. Dadaji says. "We do
not want a philosophy which is purely theoretical and which merely
discusses utopian ideas and theories. We do not want a philosophy which
is merely otherworldly; instead, we want a philosophy which is
practical, one that can be useful in our daily lives, i.e. we want a
philosophy that can be lived."
