Secret society of India

Ashoka’s ‘Nine Unknown Men’: India’s Ancient Illuminati

This is India’s only recorded secret society, and perhaps the oldest in the world. According to legend, this powerful secret society was founded by Emperor Ashoka of the Maurya Dynasty in India, around 270 BC, after a bloody battle that resulted in the brutal slaughter of over 100,000 men.

The Emperor had a change of heart after his conquest of Kalinga (lying between modern day Kolkata and Chennai), and formed the most powerful secret society on earth - nine trusted disciples of science were identified and each entrusted with a book that contained all of humankind’s accumulated and ever-growing knowledge in a certain field, that the keeper of the book would add to, revise, and perfect. This duty would be handed down to the select chosen throughout the ensuing centuries.

In his book, “Outline of World History”, H.G. Wells wrote:

“Among the tens of thousands of names of monarchs accumulated in the files of history, the name of Ashoka shines almost alone, like a star”

Some accounts even go as far as to suggest ‘The Nine’ have unlocked the secrets of immortality and retain their position for eternity. There were to always be nine of them, no more and no less, and they were to remain obscured from the world at large and to avoid any and all dealings with politics or mainstream science, instead opting to remain hidden in the shadows.

In 1923, the world learned about the existence of these mysterious men through a book. “The Nine Unknown” written by Talbot Mundy, who was a member of the British Police force in India for a quarter of a century. In his book, Mundy wrote that Ashoka’s society employed a synthetic language, so as to preserve the secrecy of techniques handed down from ancient times.

The concept was further popularized by Louis Pauwels and Jacques Bergier in their 1960 book “The Morning of the Magicians”. They claimed that the Nine Unknown were real and had been founded by Emperor Ashoka. They also claimed that the influential 10th century Pope Silvester II had met the Nine Unknown, and that nineteenth century French colonial administrator and writer Louis Jacolliot insisted on their existence.

Some modern Indian scientists such as Jagdish Chandra Bose, a pioneer in Radio and Microwave Optics and Vikram Sarabhai, the man behind the Indian space and missile defense programs, were said to believe in or even to be members of the Nine. Believers in the Nine also point to the mysterious Delhi iron pillar (Iron pillar of Delhi - Wikipedia), which is said to have been constructed at a time before the technology.

Indian scientists are occasionally rumored to be members of the Nine Unknown Men, and from time to time, if a Westerner should visit India and then do something astounding, he is considered to have had their help. In more recent times, the Nine are said to have assisted humanity by revealing the secret of the Cholera vaccine.

The Nine Books

Traditionally, the books are said to cover the following subjects:

1. The first book dealt with techniques of Propaganda and Psychological Warfare (“The most dangerous of all sciences is that of moulding mass opinion, because it would enable anyone to govern the whole world” according to Mundy)
2. The second book discussedPhysiology and explains how to kill a person simply by touching him or her, known as the “the touch of death,” simply by the reversal of a nerve impulse (It is said that the martial art of Judo is a result of “leakages” from the second book)
3. The third volume focused onMicrobiology and Biotechnology
4. The fourth dealt with Alchemy andTransmutation of Metals(According to another legend, in times of severe drought, temples and religious relief organizations received large quantities of gold from “a secret source.”)
5. The fifth book contained a study of all means of Communication, terrestrial and extraterrestrial. Alluding then that the Nine Unknown Men were aware of alien presence
6. The sixth book focused on the secrets of Gravitation and actual instructions on how to make the ancient Vedic Vimana, (likeVaiminika Shastra) on aerospace technology
7. The seventh contained Cosmologyand matters of the universe - the capacity to travel at enormous speeds through spacetime fabric, and time-travel; including intra- and inter-universal trips
8. The eighth dealt with Lightincluding the speed and how to use it as a weapon
9. The ninth, and final book, discussedSociology. It included rules for the evolution of societies and the means of foretelling their decline

One can imagine the extraordinary importance of secret knowledge in the hands of nine men benefiting directly from experiments, studies and documents accumulated over a period of more than 2,000 years
