“Hindu Fakirs Baffle Science”

“More Than 3,000,000 Fakirs Roam Over India— Is Their Mystic Power A Religion or Racket?”

#HindooHistory

"A HINDOO TEMPLE"

"Rites and Ceremonies By Which the Idol is Honored"

"A Complex Institution Over Which the High Caste Brahman Exercise Supreme Authority as Receivers, Trustees and Ministrants-- Their Methods"

#HindooHistory

"The Hindoo temple of any size or protentions is a complex institution. It is a group of buildings inclosed within one or more walls. It possesses certain privileges, granted by native rulers in days gone by and still respected by the present government"

"It enjoys what may almost be termed a royal revenue from houses, lands and offerings, and it possesses hoards of treasure in jewels, gold and silver vessels and coins. The property is in the hands of trustees, who are elected or who claim a hereditary right to the office"
