Abstract

The area of influence of materialism has been rapidly increasing at the cost of solace and happiness and in the race for materialism the world has been gradually loosing its spiritual context. Naked materialism has made the world vulnerable, uncertain, complex and ambiguous. The creation of two successful empires by ‘Ashoka The Great’ and ‘Akbar The Great’ through spiritualism have been milestones in two different era’s of Indian History. In India under Ashoka we witness the successful culmination of an ambitious first experiment in empire building. Ashoka will forever be remembered for trying to persuade his subjects to adopt Dhamma,a social ethic that tried to unite them by invoking virtues of spirituality. The title "The Great" is given to a person who does good works for mankind and makes this world more meaningful and peaceful place. These achievements can be done by a person when he conquers himself, conquers his anger, jealousy, ego, and hatred. The title "The Great" was given to Ashoka and Akbar not for winning big battles but for conquering the hearts of people spiritually. They timely understood that spirituality is in the heart and each individual has a heart.
