What reading level is The Crown of Hinduism book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
the passage quoted on pp. 320-321 above from p. 254 of the same volume.
THE WORK OF MEN'S HANDS 339 men have lost faith in it. The pressure of Western thought and Christian criticism is so great that no modern educated Hindu can accept a phallic symbol as a worthy representation of the one living and true God; and consequently Vivekananda, the great defender of the faith, gets out of the difficulty by declaring that the linga is not a phallic symbol at all, but that Hindus, in their most degrad...ed days, mistook it for such. 1 It is a most remarkable fact that Dr. Coomaraswamy, the art critic, and Mr.Nallasvami Pillai,the most notable livingwriter among Saiva Siddhantists, endorse this judgement. The latter thinks that the linga may have originally been a model of a sacred hill.^ But it is clear from the passage quoted above "^ from the Mahabharata that from the very time when the linga was introduced into the worship of Siva Hindus have recognized it to be a phallic symbol. Indeed nobody ever questioned the fact till our own days.
