These religions are the flower of the race; they come forth from it as its best aroma.

Thus we see that Brahmanism is confined to that section or race of the great Aryan family which has occupied India for more than thirty centuries.

It belongs to the Hindoos, to the people taking its name from the Indus, by the tributaries of which stream it entered India from the northwest.

It has never attempted to extend itself beyond that particular variety of mankind.

Perhaps one hundred and fifty millions of men accept it as their faith.
