Story Of Adi Shankaracharya

Story Of Adi Shankaracharya

Adi Shankaracharya was an Indian Vedic scholar and teacher or acharya of Advaita Vedanta. He is seen as "the one who restored the Hindu dharma against the attacks of other religions. Tradition also portrays him as the one who reconciled the various sects Vaishnavism, Shaivism, and Saktism with the introduction of the Pañcāyatana form of worship, the simultaneous worship of five deities – Ganesha, Surya, Vishnu, Shiva and Devi, arguing that all deities were but different forms of the one Brahman, the invisible Supreme Being. One can find several biographies charting out the life of Adi Shankara. Some were written many centuries to a thousand years after Shankara's Samadhi. Available in both Sanskrit and non-Sanskrit languages, they are filled with legends and tales; many, which contradict each other. Shankara was born at Kalady, a town located in Angamaly, Kerala. He was born to Namboodiri Brahmin parents. Shankara's father died while he was very young. Hence, the boy's Upanayanam sanskara or the holy thread ceremony had to be delayed and was later performed by his mother.
