Descrizione
About The Book: In "The Mystics, Ascetics, and Saints of India: A Study of Sadhuism," the author explores the realm of asceticism in India, specifically focusing on Sadhus. The book examines the principal ascetic sects, particularly emphasizing Yogis and the yoga system. Subsequent chapters recount the author's personal interactions with various sadhus and visits to monasteries, providing European readers with a glimpse into contemporary sadhuism.Dating back to 1903, the study covers mythical and legendary aspects of Sadhuism, including miracles, wonders, and prophecy. It also delves into how European visitors perceived fakirs, explores theological topics like karma and pantheism, and discusses the role of this rich tradition in an era of democratic reform.
