The Secret Society - Illuminati Indian version
The story of Ashoka's nine unknown men
The idea of secret societies has long captivated and piqued our interests—partly because the sweet smell of mystery is hard to resist, and partly because these theories of world domination, secret power and knowledge appeal most to our psyche as humans. Frankly, there is no dearth of the existence of such secret groups. There is Illuminati, of course, the most prominent of all that exists today. You might already know about it—all thanks to Dan Brown’s ‘Angels & Demons’! But long before there was another secret society that’s seldom talked about, one that almost supersedes the mystery associated with Illuminati, one that was founded by the Great Ashoka (circa 270 BC) of the Maurya dynasty—The Nine Unknown Men or the Unknown 9.
They were to India what Illuminati is to the western world—but only more intriguing and pervasive. Legend has it that Ashoka, a once formidable and unmerciful king, had a dramatic transformation and change of heart after witnessing the massacre that ensued in the battlefield of the Kalinga war. He realized that the only true conquest of a king was to not win cities but to win people’s hearts by the observance of the laws of duty and piety. This led him to embrace the principles of Buddhism. He understood the extent of damage the world has to witness if power, which he obtained from his less peaceful days, goes into the wrong hands. And thus, the secret society of nine unknown men was born.
H.G. Wells, in his book “Outline of World History,” wrote:
“Among the tens of thousands of names of monarchs accumulated of the files of history, the name Ashoka shines almost alone, like a star.”
Each of these 9 men was tasked with the responsibility of developing, preserving and preventing secret knowledge from getting into the hands of unknowledgeable. They were to guard one book of knowledge each. These books were known to contain supreme knowledge, even valued secrets of anti-gravity and time travel, which could have driven mankind into the path of development and evolution, but if went into wrong hands, had the power to destroy humanity in its entirety.
