ajivik prachin bharat mean ek dharmik sampraday tha. is sampraday ke log buddh ke samakalin 'goshal' namak ek dharmaguru ke anuyayi the. inhean 'ajivak' bhi kaha gaya hai. ajivik shabd ke arth ke vishay mean vidvanoan mean vivad raha haian kiantu 'ajivik' ke vishay mean vichar rakhanevale shramanoan ke ek varg ko yah arth vishesh many raha hai. vaidik manyataoan ke virodh mean jin anek shraman sanpradayoan ka utthan buddhapoorvakal mean hua unamean ajivik sanpraday bhi tha.

• ajivik sanpraday ka sahity upalabdh nahian hai, kiantu bauddh aur jain sahity tatha shilalekhoan ke adhar par hi is sanpraday ka itihas jana ja sakata hai.
• buddh aur mahavir ke prabal virodhiyoan ke roop mean ajivikoan ke tirthakar makkhali gosal (maskari goshal) ka ullekh jain-bauddh-shastroan mean milata hai. yah bhi un shastroan se hi jnan hota hai ki us samay ajivikoan ka sanpraday pratishthit aur samadrit tha. gosal ape ko chaubisavaan tirthakar kahate the. is jan ullekh ko praman n bhi mana jae tab bhi itana to kaha hi ja sakata hai ki gosal se pahale bhi yah sanpraday prachalit raha. gosal se pahale ke kee ajivikoan ka ullekh milata hai.
• shilalekhoan aur any adharoan se yah siddh hai ki yah sanpraday samagr bharat mean prachalit raha aur aant mean madhyakal mean apana parthkay is sanpraday ne kho diya.
• ajivik shraman nagn rahate aur parivrajakoan ki tarah ghoomate the. bhikshacharya dvara jivika chalate the. eeshvar ya karm mean unaka vishvas nahian tha. kiantu ve niyativadi the.
• puroosharth, parakram viry se nahian, kiantu niyati se hi jiv ki shuddhi ya ashuddhi hoti hai. sansarachakr niyat hai, vah apane kram mean hi poora hota hai aur muktilabh karata hai. ashchary to yah hai ki ajivikoan ka darshanik siddhaant aisa hote hue bhi ajivik shraman tapasya adi karate the au jivan mean kasht uthate the.
