Excerpt from The Mystics, Ascetics, and Saints of India: A Study of Sadhuism, With an Account of the Yogis, Sanyasis, Bairagis, and Other Strange Hindu Sectarians In Chapter VIII.\ the principal ascetic sects and their subdivisions are described, the Yogz's, commonly called jogt's, and the yoga system receiving especial attention. In Chapters IX. To XI. The reader is taken into the company of many sadhus I have known, and within the precincts of a few of the monasteries I have visited. Probably these last-named chapters may help to bring European readers into actual touch, as it were, with sadhuism as it exists to-day; and, if so, I shall not regret the time and the trouble, by no means inconsiderable, involved in collecting the particulars which I have embodied in them.
