Something about Hinduism




Maharaja Agrasen      

        The Messenger of Peace, Emperor Maharaja Agrasen was born to King Ballabh of Pratapnagar. According to current calendar the birth of Maharaja Agrasen took place about 5000 years ago. King Ballabh was a Suryavamshi ( lineage from the Sun). He was the eldest son . According to the Mahalakshmi Vrath, the age then was the last stages of Dvaapar Yug. Agroha / Agra Republic was established around 51 years before the war of Mahabarat. According to writers of  (1) Bhavishya Puran Ke Agravansh , (2) Vanishanukirtnam and (3) Uru Charitam Maharaja Agrasen ruled some 5000 years back over Agroha around the time of Mahabharat. This belief is testified by the mention of the republican state of Agrayan in a couplet shloka of the great epic Mahabharata . Even when he was very young , Prince Agrasen was very well known for his compassion . He never discriminated against anyone and the subjects were very pleased with the way he conducted himself.


Agroha

        Agroha, located about 20 Km's North-West of the City of Hissar in the State of Haryana in India, was once a very prosperous city . However , it has changed a lot due to the ravages of time. Present day Agroha village is about 2.5 Km. from the old Agroha City . Agroha was the Republican State consisting of 18 state units. The residents of these states were known as Yodhya and Agraya. Some of the writings on the coins that have been excavated from the site of ancient Agroha are (1)Yodhyanam Bahu Dhanya Kanam (2) Yodhya Ganasya Jaya (3)Yodhyanam Jaimantra Shalinam.The Agroha republic was renowned for its bravery and prosperity. However over the time it could not stand the foreign invasions of Hunas, Greeks and Yavanas, who invaded the north India disintegrating various kingdoms in Punjab . The disintegrated Agroha led to the migration of the residents of Agroha to other parts of the country viz. Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and Malwa, however they derived a common name Aggarwals i.e.Agroha-Wale.
