The Mysterious Secret Society of India: The Nine Unknown Men

 When we think of secret societies, names like the Illuminati or Freemasons often come to mind—groups steeped in mystery, shrouded in conspiracy, and almost always rooted outside of India. But what if I told you that India, a land often associated with peace, spirituality, and harmony, harbors its own shadowy secrets? Contrary to the common perception, India's history is not devoid of dark and enigmatic tales. One such tale revolves around a secret society that has supposedly existed in India for over two millennia: The Nine Unknown Men.

This secret society, believed to have been founded by Emperor Ashoka, continues to intrigue historians, conspiracy theorists, and curious minds alike. As we delve into this story, we’ll uncover not only the origins of this mysterious group but also the famous individuals associated with it, who may just change your perception of them entirely. But first, it's essential to understand the historical context in which this society emerged, as it lays the groundwork for everything that follows.

The Birth of a Secret Society

The tale of The Nine Unknown Men begins around 2000 years ago, in the aftermath of the Kalinga War—one of the bloodiest conflicts in history. Emperor Ashoka, the ruler who led the Mauryan Empire to victory, was deeply disturbed by the immense loss of life, with an estimated 100,000 people killed and 150,000 captured. This harrowing experience led Ashoka to renounce violence, embrace Buddhism, and dedicate his life to spreading the teachings of peace and non-violence.

During his spiritual journey, Ashoka gained profound knowledge—some of which was far beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. This knowledge spanned various fields, including science, governance, and warfare. Aware of the destructive potential of this knowledge if it were to fall into the wrong hands, Ashoka decided to take a drastic step to protect it.

The Formation of the Nine Unknown Men

To safeguard this dangerous knowledge, Ashoka divided it into nine distinct books, each covering a different domain: politics, weapons, power, the mind, surgery, and more. He then entrusted these books to nine men—experts in their respective fields. These men were charged with the responsibility of guarding these secrets, ensuring that they would be passed on only to those deemed worthy and trustworthy. This way, the knowledge would survive through the ages but remain hidden from the masses.

Over the centuries, the existence of these Nine Unknown Men and the secret knowledge they protect has become a part of Indian legend. Some believe that this secret society still exists today, working in the shadows to maintain balance and prevent chaos in the world.

Evidence of Their Existence

One of the most intriguing pieces of evidence supporting the existence of the Nine Unknown Men can be found in the Konark Sun Temple in Odisha. A wheel with eight spokes and a central axis is said to symbolize the nine men, with the eight spokes representing the individuals entrusted with the books and the central axis representing the core knowledge they protect.

Famous Figures Associated with the Nine Unknown Men

The founding members of this secret society are believed to include some of the most renowned figures in Indian history. These include:

  • Charaka: Known as the Father of Medicine, Charaka is credited with compiling the Charaka Samhita, an ancient Ayurvedic text.
  • Chanakya: A brilliant strategist and author of the Arthashastra, Chanakya played a pivotal role in the establishment of the Maurya Empire.
  • Sushruta: Referred to as the Father of Surgery, Sushruta authored the Sushruta Samhita, an ancient text on surgery.
  • Aryabhata: A mathematician and astronomer, Aryabhata made significant contributions to the fields of mathematics and astronomy.
  • Nagarjuna: A philosopher and alchemist, Nagarjuna is often credited with the development of early chemical processes.
  • Patanjali: The father of Yoga, Patanjali compiled the Yoga Sutras, a foundational text in the study of Yoga.
  • Varahamihira: An astrologer and polymath, Varahamihira authored several important works on astrology and astronomy.
  • Vishnu Sharma: The author of Panchatantra, a collection of ancient Indian fables with moral lessons.
  • Bodhidharma: A Buddhist monk credited with introducing Zen Buddhism to China and believed to have significant martial arts knowledge.

The Purpose of the Society

Unlike other secret societies often associated with manipulation and control, the Nine Unknown Men were established to protect humanity. Their purpose was to maintain the balance between good and evil in the world, ensuring that the powerful knowledge they guarded would not be misused to create havoc.

The story of the Nine Unknown Men is a fascinating blend of history, legend, and speculation. Whether or not this secret society still exists today is a matter of debate. However, the idea that such a group once existed to protect humanity from the dangerous knowledge of the ancients adds a captivating layer of mystery to India's rich cultural tapestry.

Day_ 49

Hello everyone, and welcome to my 49th blog post! I wish all of you a healthy and happy life. Let's kick off today's blog by talking about my day. I started my morning with some prayers, visited the temple, and offered milk to Lord Shiva. After completing my daily routine, I hit the gym. I spent around 2.3 hours working on my back and biceps. Once done, I headed home and had my post-workout meal. In the afternoon, I went out for some work with a friend. It took quite a while, and we'll continue with it tomorrow and the day after. I won't disclose the nature of the work, but I'm hopeful it will come to fruition soon. Later in the evening, I accompanied my mom to the vegetable market to help carry the bags. That's enough for today; let's wrap up this blog here. If you've read my blog, don't forget to share it with your friends ❤️

Journey to Mahakali's Grace: A Spiritual Expedition to Pavagadh

Hello everyone, and welcome to my Journey to Pavagadh. Today's blog is going to be about my travel experience. This Sunday, I visited Pavagadh, which is near my city. Despite living in Vadodara, this was my first time visiting Pavagadh. I went with my Massi, and in the early morning, we set out for the journey. We caught the bus from the station directly to Pavagadh. The bus first went to Halol and then to Pavagadh. From Pavagadh, we had to go up to Manchi, and another bus took us there. Manchi is the starting point where all the devotees begin their journey to meet Mahakali. The journey to the top is not as easy as it seems; it's quite challenging. We sat at various places, took small breaks, had energy drinks, engaged in discussions, and then resumed our journey to the top. I am not sure about the total number of stairs in the climb. During my ascent, I saw many devotees heading to meet Mahakali with their own trust and belief—some to ask for something, some to thank Mahakali...
