Kids and discovery holidays- Samrat Ashoka and his most stupid act.
Even holidays become battles for me and more to your father when he fails to make for it as planned, and I insist to carry sneezing, vomiting and a feverish baby on a jungle holiday.
But then we still make it, feeling pity for your father's situation. And there are your friends who make up for the absence of your father.
This holiday we intended to explore jungles and the hidden spirits which time may have left for you to meet and lend them an ear.
Holidaying in jungles isn't just about filling your lungs with oxygen and talking about environment and conservation, and taking a break from work and blah, blah.......
My kids, I have brought you to these jungles, to tell that these are the same deep wood and jungles where Alexander had fights with Puru, fierce elephants scaring the ever conquering army and showing them the possibility of their first unseen and upcoming defeat.
The question that came to my mind, when I was kid-
With such a rich heritage and superbly naturally protecting resources, how this wonderful region is known as Aryavart still faced slavery?
My quest to find it answers goes back to the past and takes the halt; at where it must have started. I found my answers in Veer Savarkar's literature.
Blame the first most important reason for Hindustan's decline- Samrat Ashoka.
My kids, I want you to understand that even Chakravarti Samrats make mistakes and the truth isn't what's always written in textbooks or shown in few television soaps or movies.
How Samrat Ashoka is the sole reason that Hindu Kush's prosperous era started declining.
Samrat had the best chaturanga Sena, an incredible and unmatched army of that time. One fine day Ashoka transformed into Buddhism philosophy - oooff....and that was the defining, declining moment for HinduKush Era.
Why declining?
For the Samrat, as an individual, it was fine to have achieved the highest possible victories of his life and seek salvation thereafter. But why did he start scripting philosophies for others and preaching it, which he himself never followed till the battle of Kalinga. The time and resources which were to be used for strengthening the country's army and security system was used to spread the messages of peace across all regions of his empire.
Isn't it a very stupid thing to do for a monarch, to unfollow the principles of your regions protection, and make a whole army and the rest and rust of their protecting weapons, allowing the foreign intruders to invite excitement?
This Samrat may have preached Dharma, or Buddha's principles. But the same Samrat forgot his real Dharma, and watched or made his army turn in futile from incredible, and that was the irreversible declining moment in the History for Hindukush.
I do not understand almighty's power and reasoning behind these events and Buddha himself came with a very powerful message of Peace to world. But history or decoded Vedic knowledge also tells us which time frame of Brahmayana are we living in. We can not praise a Samrat following grihastha's principles stated in Satyuga's, to be followed in Kaluga.
It was unjust of him to live all his life like a King and seek salvation leaving the whole empire at the mercy of time. Instead, he would have ensured the safety of his people and kingdom, and then retired to jungles in search of peace than wearing a throne and preaching peace.
I think and I reason that this was the biggest mistake what Ashoka did to this wonderful land. I am not sure where Ashoka's soul rests, but surely he may have been asked this by Chitragupta if that philosophy after death exists somewhere in another realm.
So whenever decisions are to be taken, you have to first, introspect and identify your own Dharma-the duties towards your extended mankind and your surrounding nature and the soil or land which you arise from. Your personal goals- even of the highest achievement may be very very devastating to mankind, if you manipulate or misunderstand your Dharma.
Enough on this holiday. Time to soak yourself in the mist.
