What reading level is Sketch of the Religious Sects of the Hindus book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Chandakapulika The author of the Hatha Pradipa, Atma Ra'ma, states that these and many more Mahasiddhas, or perfect Yogis, are in e. Xistence. His names are possibly those of the Mahants, of a particular establishment : some of them are very unlike Hindu appella- tives. If the date assigned to GoraArwa^/i in the text be rightly conjectured, we can- not assign much more than fifteen years to each of his successors.
* Hamilton's Nepal, page 14.
137 will not admit of such an approximation. Accordi...ng to the authorities of the sect, Gorakh is but one of nine eminent teachers, or Ndths. Of the perfect Yogis, or Siddhas, eighty-four are enumerated ; but it is said, that there have been many more, of whom several are still upon the surface of the earth.
The Jogis of Gorakhna'ih are usually called Kdnphatas, from having their ears bored, and rings inserted in them at the time of their initia- tion. They may be of any caste ; they live as ascetics, either singly or in Maths. "^ Siva is the object of their worship — they officiate indeed, as the priests of that deity, in some places, especially at the celebrated Ldt, or Staff, of Bhairava, at Benares.
