Empire of Aulikara Samrat Yashodharman Vikramaditya of Malwa "Exterminator of the Huns" 🔱🔱🔱



Samrat Yashodharman is know for defeating the Huna Emperor Mihirkula with the help of Baladitya Narshimha Gupta (Gupta Emperor) in 528 CE and conquering most parts of Northern India stretching from the Himalayas to Mahendragiri and from Lauhitya to Arabian Sea.
It was a short-lived Empire which soon collapsed after Yashodharman's death. Aulikaras were initially feudatories of the Gupta dynasty who later established their own sovereign Empire in India which even included the Gupta Empire.
Guptas might have acted as the Vassals of the Aulikaras during this period.

This is the history of Maharaj Lalitaditya Muktapida.

An excellent conqueror, an adept warrior and a gift to Kashmiri civilization. This is the history of Lalitaditya Muktapida. A good amount of what we know about Lalitaditya comes from the Rajatarangini (‘River of Kings’) composed by Kalhana, a renowned 12th century historian from Kashmir. We know that he ascended the throne of Kashmir (which, in the early 8th century, was being ruled by the Karkota dynasty) as the youngest son of his predecessor, King Durlabhaka. At that time, the relatively small Karkota Empire had sway over what is now Jammu and Kashmir along with parts of modern-day Punjab and Haryana. Lalitaditya’s ascension paved the way for a soon-to-come golden age in Kashmir. A peak of expansion and the birth of a new power on the subcontinent. During most of his rule, Lalitaditya was known to have embarked on numerous aggressive campaigns. In fact, most of his rule centered around military conquest. Various Chinese, Turkish and Tibetan sources describe him as a very skilled war...

30 million Gods? or 33 crore Gods? Complete Truth

Image
 30 million Gods? The Vedas refer to not millions of deities but 33 supreme deities. 33 crore Gods? A popular but unfounded belief has been spread that Hindus have 33 crore gods. It is a misunderstanding of the Vedic concept of the State, and hence a misinterpretation of the word koti.  33 divinities are mentioned in the Yajur-veda, Atharva-veda, Satapatha-brahmana, and in several other Vedic and later texts. The number thirty-three occurs with reference to divinities in the Parsi scriptures of Avesta as well.The expression trayastrimsa deva is found in the list of classes of gods in Sanskrit Buddhist texts like the Divyavadana and Suvarnaprabhasa-sutra. The word koti in 'trayastrimsati koti' does not mean the number '33 crore' or '330 million'. Here koti means 'supreme', pre-eminent, excellent, that is, the 33 'supreme' divinities. The word koti has the same meaning as uchha koti. It was a problem even in AD 725 when Subhakarasimha and his Chine...

The original Arthashastra manuscript is stored at the Oriental Research Institute in Mysuru, Karnataka.

 The original Arthashastra manuscript is stored at the Oriental Research Institute in Mysuru, Karnataka. The Arthashastra, written in Sanskrit and dating back to the time of the Mauryan Empire, is one of the oldest books on governance, military strategy, politics, economics, justice, and the duties of rulers. Scholars say it was composed around the second century BCE. Its author, Kautilya—also known as Chanakya— was prime minister to Chandragupta, the first of the Mauryan rulers. After the decline of the Mauryan Empire, the document was lost. Rudrapatna Shamashastri, a Sanskrit scholar and librarian, discovered the original Arthashastra in 1905 among the mounds of palm leaf documents lying in the institute, which was founded by Mysore’s Wodeyar kings in 1891. The institute has been part of the University of Mysore from 1916, and is home to about 70,000 rare palm-leaf manuscripts. Shamashastri transcribed the Arthashastra onto fresh palm leaves and published it in 1909. He translate...
