🔆Ajivika Sect
✅The Ajivikas are believed to have evolved from one of the many ascetic groups of the times.
✅According to Buddhist records, Nanda Vaccha was considered the founder of the Ajivika sect.
✅He was succeeded by Kisa Samkicca, followed by Makkhali Gosala, who was the third and the greatest of the Ajivikas.
✅Gosala met Mahavira for the first time in Nalanda and their friendship lasted for six years.
✅Sravasti was the headquarters of the Ajivika sect.
✅The Ajivikas were naked ascetics.
✅The basic principle of the Ajivikas was niyati or fate: they believed that nothing in this world could be changed as everything was predetermined.
✅Everyone has to pass through a series of transmigrations to put an end to pain.
✅According to Ajivikas, there were six inevitable factors in life, viz. gain and loss, joy and sorrow, and life and death.
✅The Ajivikas had rich lay disciples such as potters and bankers.
✅The Ajivika sect spread across the length and breadth of the country, though their influence was much less compared to that of Buddhism and Jainism
