NINE UNKNOWN

Have you ever heard about the secret society and the nine men formed by INDIA’S great king ASHOKA.Who are these nine men? what they do in ancient india? Is they real in existence?.All these mysterious questions take us to the story said to be happened in the era where great king Ashoka lived. “THE GREAT ASHOKA” king born in 304 BC in pataliputra close to Morden patna.He was third emperor in mauryan dynasty son of Bindusara. His grandfather Chandragupta Maurya founder of the great mauryan dynasty. King ashoka was a great warrior. Ever since his childhood he had undergone lots of military training and a great warrior with impressive hunting skills.He had ruled indian subcontinent for about 36 years.He had been the absolute daunting king with the vision to expand his kingdom.After his death sadly maurya dynasty only lasted for other 50 more years.THE BATTLE OF KALINGA had made a remarkable change in ashoka and that made in creation of mysterious nine men and the secret society. The society of nine men was formed after kalingan battle 226 BC. ashoka always wanted to extend his dynasty and uphold his grandfather legacy.The region between Calcutta and madras said to kalingan imperial rule.in his invasion he had killed more than 100000 soldiers of kalinga and made a large damage to the property and the kingdom.This brutal and lethal war had brought a change in character and mindset of the great king ashoka. He had converted to peaceful religion BUDDHISM and started spreading peace through buddhism in Malaya, Ceylon, and Indonesia. His efforts contributed to Buddhism’s later rise in China, Nepal, Tibet, and Mongolia. Most importantly, “he renounced the idea of trying to integrate the rebellious people, declaring that the only true conquest was to win men’s hearts by observance of the laws of duty and piety, because the Sacred Majesty desired that all living creatures should enjoy security, peace and happiness and be free to live as they pleased” .So committed was the Emperor to this mission that he sought to prevent his fellow man from putting their intelligence towards perpetrating evil, particular the evil involved with warfare. The task of collecting, preserving, and containing all knowledge was too great for one emperor to do alone, not the least because of the other duties required by ruling an empire. So Ashoka summoned nine of the most brilliant minds in India at the time. For security purposes, the identity of these men was never made public. Together, these geniuses formed a secret society that came to be known as the Nine Unknown Men.The organization set up accumulating all of the scientific knowledge they could, from natural science to psychology to the composition of matter. Fearing that if ordinary men were given scientific knowledge they would use it for destruction, only the Nine Men were allowed to study and develop scientific theories and technology. To better accomplish this daunting task, each of the nine was charged with a specific book that he was to update, revise, and ultimately perfect the knowledge therein. When one of the nine could no longer complete the task – whether from the wish to retire, fading health, or death – the obligation was passed to a chosen successor. The number of members in the society was always to be nine. Thus the society of the Nine Unknown Men has allegedly lived on for over 2000 years.
Speculation about the contents of each of the nine books varies widely. Talbot Mundy, an English writer, published a book entitled The Nine Unknown Men in 1923, which contained a list of the nine books. This list has come to be generally accepted.


  1. Propaganda : The first book dealt with techniques of propaganda and psychological warfare. “The most dangerous of all sciences is that of molding mass opinion, because it would enable anyone to govern the whole world,”
  2. Physiology : The second book discussed physiology 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. Microbiology: The third volume focused on microbiology and biotechnology.
  4. Alchemy: The fourth dealt with alchemy and transmutation 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. Communication : 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. Gravity: The sixth book focused on the secrets of gravitation and actual instructions on how to make the ancient Vedic Vimana, (like Vaiminika Shastra on aerospace technology).
  7. Cosmogony: The seventh contained cosmogony and matters of the universe.
  8. Light: The eighth dealt with light including the speed and how to use it as a weapon.
  9. Sociology: The ninth and final book discussed sociology. It included rules for the evolution of societies and the means of foretelling their decline.”

Well story of nine men real or only a historical myth?still they are out somewhere watching us living in shadows ?. They keep silent and continue collecting knowledge and guarding us?. Is that society continue in existence even after 2000 years?.Answer is a MYSTERY.
