![]() ![]() Bindusara means one who encompasses all that is need to be known. Bindusara was born before his father ever became Emperor so the below legend is definitely not true.Īshoka’s daughter was married in 265 BC and his son Kunala was 18 years of age in 269 BC which means that even the princes married early, Ashoka was born 310 BC and Bindusara around 330 BC. Even Ashoka was practising “Ajivaka” who before accession to throne became Buddhist. ![]() Later on, Chandragupta Maurya took Jainism on abdicating his throne which passed to his Son Bindusara who was an “Ajivaka”. Ajivaka practising Chanakya brought about the downfall of the Nandas and their coterie of ministers. There were three non-traditional belief paths in society those days, Jaina, Buddhist and Ajivaka. Chanakya lived to a ripe old age and died around 283 BC and was cremated by his disciple Radhagupta who succeeded Rakshasa Katyayan (great-grand son of Prabuddha Katyayan, who attained Nirvana during the same period as Gautam Budhha) as Prime Minister of the Maurya Empire and was instrumental in backing Ashoka to the throne.
