Реферат: Hindu Pilgrimage Essay Research Paper The following

pilgrimage is an extremely important part of Hinduism, though, this

should not be the case.

Sadhus offer more in the way of giving Hindus sound advice, and

generally guiding followers onto the appropriate path in life in

comparison to the pilgrimage. Also , wherever there is a pilgrimage

site, there is a brahman that collects offerings and sums of money from

pilgrims suggesting that some or many of the sites are in a sense

marketed like a holiday tour destination primarily to extract money even

from the poorest of the poor. Rather , the poorest should not have to go

through increased hardship by paying a collection fee just to go to a

pilgrimage site, it should primarily be the rich that pay ,and what may

i ask do the brahmen use the money for ,of which they collect? I suggest

,soley for themselves.
