What reading level is Religious Reform: Popular Hinduism, Part 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Brahm, the supreme divinity, is represented as sunk in unconscious slumber, like a king who spends his life withia his palace in sloth, regardless of what goes on throughout his dominions. ChristiaDity teaches that the more we resemble God the less selCsh we shall be, and the more good we will do to our fellow creatures ; but the more a Hindu is like Brahm, the more selfish he muet become, and the less profitable to all around him.
Such a representation of the Supreme God is as untrue as it is ...derogatory. He never slumbers or sleeps ; He never becomes un- conscious and without attributes ; the government of the universe is not a burden to Him ; He " fainteth not, neither is weary ;'' He is continually showering down blessings upon men, notwithstanding their disobedience to His commands and base ingratitude.
Vishnu, Siva, &c. — The actions attributed to these supposed deities are still more dishonouring to God. They act like Hindu kings, contending with each other for power, each favouring his own party, and indulging in every vice or committing every crime his evil heart may desire.
