Originally published in 1938, this book is a fascinating look at
the yogis of India at that time, both fakir and fake. "The witty
and instructive author of New Guinea Gold has now visited India and
has made a careful study of the supposed supernatural powers of the
Hindu mystic. M. Demaitre warns the reader that the more
picturesque performers are very likely to be in the employment of a
travel agency, and that their usual repertoire would disgrace any
competent European conjurer. At the same time he admits to having
been very thoroughly mystified on several occasions. For the
benefit of more serious students there is a sound exposition of the
theory and practice of contemplation and the book is illustrated
with some enlightening and unusual photographs." Many of the
earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and
before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive.
