King Vikramaditya also got detached from the worldly pleasures.
Yoga is the source of
not only the worldly but also the
spiritual
attainments.
True religion is to lead life like a yogi and not like
a pleasureseeker.
During his life time King Vikramaditya started many charitable institutions, organized many groups pilgrimages and helped the spread of Jain order many other ways. He attained immortality in the history of mankind through his bravery, valour, selfconfidence, statesmanship and many other virtues. In the fiftieth year of his life he ended the Shaka rule from India and got the title 'Shakari'. In memory of that victory he also started the Vikram calendar.
