Dharmavijaya Foundation

The Beginnings of the Dharmavijaya Foundation.

Chndraguptha fonded the Mauryan empire,but his grandson Asoka adorned it. He is one of the greatest names of all ages. he was the first ruler of a gret empre to preach the way of gentleness in preference to the way of force, to insist that the moral law was the key to public action.
" Kalinga was conuered when his Sacred and Gracious Majesty Emperor Asoka had ben consecrated eight years. ,150,00 persons were thence carried away captive, 100,00 were slain and many times that number died. Thus arose his Sacred Majesty"s remose for having conquered the Kalinges because the conquest of a country previously unconquered involves the sluaghtre dreth and carrying away captives of the people "
From this moment Asoka spent the rest of hi9s life promoting the law of duty or piety throught his gret epire. His Inscriotion was the teaching of the Baddha who had passed away already for some two centuries and whose doctrine was widespread.
