When a twelve-year famine struck the Mauryan Empire around 300 BCE, it didn't just cause suffering—it triggered a religious schism that reshaped Jainism forever. Emperor Chandragupta Maurya, who had abdicated his throne to become a Jain ascetic, witnessed the crisis firsthand at Shravanabelagola. As food ran out, the Jain leader Bhadrabahu led a migration of thousands south to Karnataka, while those who stayed behind under Sthulabhadra began compiling the sacred texts in a new way. The split between the Digambara (sky-clad) and Shvetambara (white-clad) sects hardened over differing views on nudity, scripture, and the role of women. Lucas and Luna explore how a drought shaped religious history, the legend of Chandragupta's final days, and what archaeological evidence tells us about this pivotal moment. #MauryanEmpire #Jainism #Chandragupta #Famine #Shravanabelagola #Bhadrabahu #Sthulabhadra #Digambara #Shvetambara #Karnataka #Migration #IndianHistory #AncientIndia #ReligiousSchism #Asceticism #History #FexingoHistory #WorldHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
