What reading level is Brāhmanism And Hindūism : Or, Religious Thought And Life in India, As Based On the Veda And Other Sacred Books of the Hindūs book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To the Aryan family the father and mother were present gods.
Can we wonder that, with the growth of devotional ideas and the increasing sense of a higher superintending pro- vidence, the earliest religious creed was constructed on what may be called paternal and maternal lines ? At first the sky (Dyaus, Zeus), bending over all, was personified as a Heavenly Father (Dyaus-pitar, Jupiter), and the Earth as the Mother of all creatures. Then, in place of the Earth, Infinite Space \ (A-diti) was tho...ught of as an eternal Mother. Then Prakriti was the germinal productive principle— the eternal Mother, capable of evolving all created things out of herself, but never so creating unless united, with the eternal spiritual principle called the eternal Male (Purusha).
To the prevalence of such ideas must, I think, be attri- buted the fact that everywhere throughout India are scattered 2 24 Mother-worship > shrines which on inspection are found to contain no images or idols shaped like human beings, but simply stone symbols of a double form, intended to typify the blending of the male and female principles in creation.
