Hiudoo theology is that matter is tn

Hiudoo theology is that matter is the
source of corruption.
1.-The gods therefore, are careful not
to come into contact with any earthly
substance. Vishnu therefore plucked
only two hairs from his head. One
of them turned into black god and
one into a white god. This black god
was the tutelary deity of my father,
and was obliged to worship him
from my boyhoOd. This black god
was little rogue when he was boy,
stealing everything he could lay his
hands upon. and making home so hot
for his mother that she was obliged to
fly. He was the most licentious god
ever known. having kept up a fiirta-
tiOn with 1000 milkmaids at the
same time. The principles of the
Hindoo religion are worse than its
worship. Every Hindoo believes
that the gods are the source of all
evil as well as all good, inspiring
their deepest and worst thoughts.
The Hindoos also believe that Vishnu
is to again become incarDate for the
tenth time His ninth incarnation
was liz the form of Buddha. Hindoo-
ism and Buddhism are Numerically
opposed to each other, as the latter
declares a relentless war on caste, the
very foundation stone of Hindoo socl-
ETY.. The result was that Buddhism
was elected from India. The Hin
zoos say Vishnu took the form of
Buddha for the purpose of leading the
world into sin. their God being the
author of all that is wicked"
