Poster - Adi Shankaracharya:

Shankara is a truly legendary
Yogi from India that brought
many revolutionary changes
that are still going on today.
An example was his organization
of the Nagas and the Kumbha
Mela events, and his writings.

(Sanskrit: आदि शङ्कराआचार्य [aːdɪ ɕɐŋkɐɽɐ])
was an early 8th century
Indian philosopher and
theologian who consolidated
the doctrine of Advaita
Vedanta.

He is credited with
unifying and establishing
the main currents of
thought in Hinduism.

His works in Sanskrit
discuss the unity of the
ātman and Nirguna Brahman
"brahman without attributes".

He wrote copious commentaries
on the Vedic canon (Brahma Sutras,
Upanishads and Bhagavad Gita)
in support of his thesis.

His works elaborate
on ideas found in the
Upanishads. Shankara's
publications criticised
the ritually-oriented
Mīmāṃsā school of Hinduism.

He also explained the
key difference between
Hinduism and Buddhism,
stating that Hinduism
asserts "Atman (Soul, Self)
exists", while Buddhism asserts
that there is "no Soul, no Self".

Shankara travelled across
the Indian subcontinent
to propagate his philosophy
through discourses and
debates with other thinkers.

He established the importance
of monastic life as sanctioned
in the Upanishads and
Brahma Sutra, in a time
when the Mīmāṃsā school
established strict ritualism
and ridiculed monasticism.

He is reputed to have
founded four mathas ("monasteries"),
which helped in the historical
development, revival and
spread of Advaita Vedanta.

Adi Shankara is believed
to be the organiser of the
Dashanami monastic order
and unified the Shanmata
tradition of worship.

He is also known as
Adi Shankaracharya,
Shankara Bhagavatpada or
Sankaracharya.
