A simple internet search for 'Secret Societies' inevitably leads to one name: the Illuminati. This clandestine organization has permeated not only our digital landscape but also popular culture, appearing frequently in films, books, and intelligence narratives. According to various conspiracy theories, the Illuminati stands as one of the most ominous organizations in the world, with purported members including renowned figures like Bill Gates and Oprah Winfrey. These theories suggest that the Illuminati wields unparalleled influence, allegedly orchestrating significant events such as the assassination of American President J.F. Kennedy and instigating wars between nations, even toppling governments. However, the veracity of these claims remains a subject of debate.

In historical context, the Illuminati did indeed exist, founded in 18th-century Bavaria by Adam Weishaupt, a disillusioned academic seeking to challenge prevailing religious and political norms. The organization operated under a shroud of secrecy, with members bound by clandestine rules and oaths of allegiance. Despite the controversies and conspiracies surrounding its legacy, delving into the history and workings of the Illuminati unveils a captivating narrative of intrigue and mystery. 

How was Illuminati formed? 

The story begins from the year 1748. There used to be a state in Central Europe, Bavaria. Adam Weishaupt was born in a city named Engelstad in Bavaria. Weishaupt's ancestors were Jewish and later converted to Christianity. Adam Weishaupt was interested in religion and religious law. Therefore, when he grew up, he became a professor of religious law at the University of England. Weishaupt had a problem. That is, he himself was not a priest. Whereas the administration of the university was run by the priests. 

He is also not a common priest. Rather, all of them were part of the Jesuits, a special sect of the Roman Catholic Church. The Jesuits order was founded in the 16th century. And their job was to propagate Christianity throughout the world. For trivia, let us tell you that in the year 1580, two priests of the Jesuit Order had reached the court of Mughal Emperor Akbar. Akbar was not only happy with him but also gave him permission to build a church in Lahore. Anyway, let's move on to the story.

In the middle of the 18th century the stars of the Jesuit order were in disarray. Reason: Wherever European countries had colonies. All work there was done through exploitation and slavery. Slaves were kept in bad conditions. The Jesuits were not against slavery, but advocated better treatment of slaves. This was against the interests of the European empires. Therefore, to control the Jesuit priests, restrictions were imposed on them. The Jesuits were in danger. Therefore, they looked with suspicion on all those who were not part of their order. Adam Weishaupt was also not a part of the Jesuits. Therefore an attempt was made to suppress that also. Angered by this, Weishaupt started searching for other such organizations. Where his thoughts get freedom.

Weishaupt wanted changes in religious laws and practices. He believed that religion should go hand in hand with science. He needed companions to promote these ideas. So he tried to join a community called Freemasons. The Freemasons were a community of free-thinking people. Whose members used to discuss philosophy and religion. The Freemasons are one of the oldest organizations in the world. And continued to exist even in the 21st century. Actually, Swami Vivekananda was also associated with this community in his early days. Freemasons were people with liberal views. But he did not have enough revolutionary thinking. At least Adam Weishaupt believed so. Therefore he decided that he would form his own separate organization.

What were the rules of Illuminati? 

Date of 1 May 1776. In the dark of night, Weishaupt and four of his students gathered in a forest near Inglostad. These five people bathed in torchlight took the pledge. The pledge is that they will keep their organization secret and will not reveal their identity to anyone. They kept their intelligence names and named their organization Illuminati. Some rules of the organization were decided. For example, no person above 30 years of age could become a member of the organization. He also made an owl the symbol of his Illuminati. In Roman tradition, the owl is an assistant to Minerva, the goddess of wisdom. Therefore it is considered a symbol of knowledge, wisdom and justice.

With the beginning of Illuminati it soon started spreading. Its members behaved like spies. And they used to infiltrate other organizations like Freemasons and recruit their members. There was also a system for recruiting. Whenever you have heard the name of Illuminati. Must have seen a picture with him. A pyramid with an eye on top. This pyramid reflects the structure of the Illuminati. There were 13 levels of membership in the Illuminati which were divided into three classes.

The lowest floor belonged to those people who were associated with new organizations. These were called Mineralwal. Only after becoming members, these people could take orders from the leader. And could attend group meetings.

Mineral class was divided into four parts.

    1. Initiate 

    2. Novice 

    3. Minerval 

    4. Illuminatus Miner  

After Mineralwal came the second floor. Their job was to recruit new members and make them aware of the methods of the group.

There were five types of members in this class.

    5. Apprentice     

    6. Fellow 

    7. Master 

    8. Illuminatus Major 

    9. Illuminatus Derigence

The third and uppermost stage was that of the most powerful people of the group. These were the people who directed the activities of the group.

There were different stages in these also

    10. Priest 

    11. Prince 

    12. Magus 

    13. King              

What did the Illuminati do?

As mentioned earlier, these people were liberals. Which is called liberal in English language. He was an advocate of reforms in power. And wanted people to give priority to logical thoughts instead of religious books. Broadly speaking, he wanted to bring change in the society. Could he do this? The answer is no. Initially Illuminati was successful. Within a few years the number of its members increased from 5 to 2500. The year 1777 was the best year for the Illuminati. 

That year Charles Theodore became king of Bavaria. Who himself was a supporter of liberalism. He tried to change. But soon the nobles of Bavaria stood against him. So Charles Theodore had to retreat. With this the countdown of Illuminati also started. Raids started on the organization's hideouts. The government got many intelligence documents of the organization from these locations. 

According to whom the Illuminati really aspired to rule the world and control the world. Adam Weishaupt had given himself the status of king of the organization. And he used to call himself Spartacus. When all these things came out, the Duke of Engelstad banned the Illuminati. And Adam Weishaupt was deported. It is believed that after this the Illuminati was completely destroyed. However, not everyone believes so.

Many people believe that the Illuminati continued even after this. In the year 1797, John Robinson, a respected man from Bavaria, wrote a report on the Illuminati. According to which its members joined the Freemasons and Jacobins. And here too he infiltrated his ideas. The name of Illuminati remained alive due to its association with the Jacobins. Because the Jacobins were a political club of France, which played an important role in carrying out the French Revolution. From here the name of Illuminati became a myth. Because it began to be believed that an organization that could bring about a revolution in a powerful empire like France could do so elsewhere too. In the year 1798, the ghost of Illuminati also reached America, when American President George Washington mentioned the danger of Illuminati in a letter, even America's third President Thomas Jefferson was accused of being a member of Illuminati.         

The story of Illuminati did not end here. Even in the 21st century, there are many people who believe that the Illuminati is still alive. And its powerful members control the world from behind the scenes. We would say that Illuminati is a myth, which used to be the name of a small organization in the 18th century. But then it doesn't matter if we say so. Because those who believe in Illuminati, they also believe that a member of Illuminati would say such a thing.

While the Illuminati garners much attention, it's essential to acknowledge the existence of other secretive organizations like the CIA, KGB, RAW and others. These clandestine entities employ covert tactics and clandestine weaponry to neutralize perceived threats to their agendas. Delving into their operations unveils a world of intrigue and espionage, where hidden agendas and clandestine operations shape the course of history.
