More Description
Adi Shankaracharya was an Indian philosopher and theologian who consolidated the doctrine of Advaita Vedanta. Although he is credited by some with unifying and establishing the main currents of thought in Hinduism, his influence on Hindu intellectual thought has been questioned.
The historical fame and cultural influence of Shankara may have grown centuries later after his death, particularly during the era of Muslim invasions and consequent devastation of Hindu empires, establishing Shankara as a rallying symbol of Hindu values.
This book captures many such interesting events which happened in the life of Shankaracharya when traveled across India debating against different Avidika practices which had sprung up across India during that period of time.
