This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1884 edition. Excerpt: ...of ritual, reminded me very much of that of the Roman Catholic priests. Instead of the figures of the Virgin there are figures of Buddha. The tall candles of the Roman Catholic Churches are replaced by the wax tapers1 which the priest or suppliant places reverently before the image, or in a receptacle provided for the purpose. Incense is as freely used in a Buddhist Wat as in a Catholic cathedral, and fast-days are common to both religions. The Latin prayers which the Romish priests recite before the crucifix may be likened to the Pali liturgy which the Buddhist priest mutters before the figure of Buddha--both alike being in a dead language. Even in the ornamentation of the places of worship there is a parallel, the beautiful frescoes illustrative of the life of Christ being replaced by rude frescoes representing events in the life of Buddha, which ornament the walls of every Wat; while the entrancing music of the Italian churches has a distant analogy in the dull gongs and drums of the Buddhist temple. 1 The quantity of wax burnt in the worship of Buddha is enormous. In some temples tapers are kept constantly burniDg. The supply of the native forests is not sufficient for local use, and large quantities of wax are imported from Yunnan. On the subject of the devotional offerings made to the figures of Buddha, it is interesting to note that, according to Captain Forbes' "British Burma," the Burmese, the neighbours of the Laosians, do not worship Gaudama, while the Lao people say that Buddha left word that, when they worshipped these figures, they worshipped him. When they pray, the Laosians pray to the spirits of their ancestors, beginning with Mung Hai, who lived about 6C0 years ago. Now the Burmese, according to Captain Forbes, ...

The Temple Elephant is a novel meant for all those with a young heart,a vivid imagination and a thirst for divine love.Narrated from the viewpoint of an elephant, it may be called a bestiarywith a socio-political and spiritual message. The novel opens with aneloquent description of an ancient South Indian temple in which theaged elephant, Kesavan, is serving God. As he ambles along the streetsof a temple town with the silver image of Krishna on his back, Kesavanrecalls the events of his past life. His turbulent youth and manhood inthe jungle, his capture in a keddah operation, his sufferings at the handsof his tormentors, his revenge, and finally his willing submission to theMaharishi, his guru, who not only saves him from slavery and death,but also shows him a path of love and self-surrender that eventuallybrings him to serve in an ancient temple.Set against the backdrop of the British Raj, the novel takes its readers onan odyssey from the beautiful jungles of South India through the opulenceof palace life to the serene simplicity of an ashram.
