After witnessing the mass deaths in the kalinga war Emperor Ashoka announced the abandonment of violence and embraced Buddhism by receiving the dhamma diksha from buddhist monk bhante "Moggaliputta Tissa".

#Buddhism ☸
From there onwards Emperor Ashoka embraced the concept of "Dhammavijaya or victory through Dhamma" and took a vow that from today onwards I will conquer the hearts of living beings by "non-violence & peace" and not by the weapons.
After that Ashoka built 84,000 stupas/viharas, many pillars and many inscriptions.

He sent missionaries to Sri lanka, Macedonia, Greece and Syria to spread the message of Buddhism.
On the occasion of Ashok Vijayadashami, on 14 October 1956, Dr. Ambedkar with his nearly 6 lakhs followers came to the rufuge of Tathagata Gautama Buddha & embraced Buddhism at Deekshabhoomi in Nagpur.

For this reason, this day is also celebrated as "Dhamma Chakka Pavattan Day."
Wish you all a very happy "Ashok Vijayadashami."

☸ May all beings be happy ☸

मौर्य सम्राट बृहदत मौर्य का ब्राह्मण सेनापति पुष्यमित्र शुंग ने ही धोखे से सम्राट बृहदत मौर्य की हत्या कर दी और एक-एक बौद्ध का ढूंढ-ढूंढ कर कत्ल कराया, एक सिर लाने वाले को सौ सोने के सिक्के देने का इनाम भी रखा था।

साकेत के पास घाघरा नदी है, जिसमे सिरो को डाल दिया गया था, जो कि सिरो से भर गई थी, इसलिए नदी के साकेत के तरफ के हिस्से को सर+युक्त अर्थात सरयू नाम पड़ गया था। इस प्रकार साकेत में कोई भी बौद्ध योद्धा नहीं बचा इसलिए ही साकेत का नाम अ+योद्धा=अर्थात योद्धा रहित अर्थात अयोध्या नाम रखा।
मौर्यों के दस सम्राट जिनके नाम निम्नलिखित है:-

१. चंद्र गुप्त मौर्य
२. बिंदुसार
३. अशोक
४. कुणाल
५. दशरथ
६. संप्रति
७. शालिशुक

#MahadSatyagraha or Chavdar lake Satyagraha was a satyagraha led by Dr. Ambedkar on 20 March 1927 to allow untouchables to use water in a public lake in Mahad (currently in Raigad district), Maharashtra, India. The day (20 March) is observed as Social Empowerment day in India.
In August 1923, Bombay Legislative Council passed a resolution that people from the depressed classes should be allowed to use places which were built and maintained by the Government.
In January 1924, Mahad which was part of the Bombay Province passed the resolution in its municipal council to enforce the act. But it was failed to implement because of the protest from the caste Hindus.
