When I taught at MSAE the students would begin the day with 10 minutes of reading the Vedic scriptures in sanskrit and in unison. I assume they're still doing it, as well as many others who have learned to read sanskrit. It's very powerful hearing those sounds (like when one hears the pundits chant the scriptures) and I understand that it's even more powerful to be able to speak those sounds.
