Excerpt from Vedantims, Brahmism, and Christianity: Examined and Compared, a Prize EssayCompelled to abjure the system both for its objects and mode of worship, for its cruel dogmas and unsatisfying rites, their condemnation of it is confirmed by surveying its con stant fruits. They see every where religious error, gross darkness and grievous superstition. The gods are feared, never loved. The scream of the owl, the chirp of the lizard, the sight of an empty pitcher, the sound of the word Kachchhap, ' are believed to determine the fortunes of men for good or evil. The most grovelling notions prevail con cerning the nature and character of the supreme, the most grovelling notions of moral duty and religious obligation. They see the worst vices extensively prevalent, yet fostered by the religion which all believe. Men and women are made the slaves of a lordly priesthood, while the whole female population are consigned to the depths of ignorance and degradation.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
