1/Out of the six systems of philosophy of #Hinduism, the #Vedanta system is the most popular one & its canonical works are #Upanishads, #Brahmasutras, & #BhagavadGita, considered as SRUTIS by #Hindus (Primary Scriptures revealed by GOD & passed on to generations by vsrious sages.
2/The Smritis are secondary scriptures recorded through memory by human origin ).
The four great #Vedas have two portions, Karma-Kanda(sacrificial/ ritual portion) & Gnana-Kanda(Wisdom portion, known as Vedanta that prepares for Higher Spiritual Vision/ attainment)

3/The Upanishads are known as Vedanta( which means Final Goal of wisdom. Veda is wisdom & Anta means end)
The ONENESS of Soul and GOD lies at the very root of all Vedic thought. It is the IDEAL OF UNITY OF ALL LIFE & ONENESS OF TRUTH, makes UPANISHADS appealing to modern minds.

Verses of #AdiSankara on LIBERATION:
1/Iam neither the mind, intelligence, ego, intellect noor the ears, tongue, senses of smell & sight; neither ether nor air, nor fire, nor water nor earth.
Iam eternal bliss and awareness.
Iam Siva.Iam Siva.

Iam eternal bliss and consciousness.
Iam Siva. Iam Siva.
Iam eternal bliss and consciousness.
Iam Siva. Iam Siva.
3/ Neither greed nor delusion nor loathing nor liking have I; nothing of pride or ego, neither of dharma or object nor of desire or liberation.
Iam eternal bliss and awareness. Iam Siva. Iam Siva!

1/#AdiSankara, the greatest #Hindu philosopher of all times, with his astute genius, logical subtlety, philosophical profoundity, accurate definitions & analysis, was the one who established #Advaita #Vedanta as the meeting ground of all Monistic & Dualistic views of #Hinduism.
2/This Knowledge of Self by #AdiSankara, is meant to fulfil the need of the seekers of Liberation, who by their prolonged tapas(austerities) have already cleansed themselves of impurities and became mentally peaceful and free from desires.
3/Of all means to Liberation, knowledge is the only direct one. As essential as fire to cooking. Without it, liberation cannot be gained.Not being opposed to ignorance, karma doesn't destroy it. On the other hand, knowledge destroys ignorance, as surely as light does darkness.
When we read #AdiSankara’s innumerable Slokas on various Gods, understand the meaning, chant them regularly, get the divine and physical benefit of the Slokas, we will understand the greatness of His incarnation! Every Sloka He has created, is for us to overcome our lives ills🙏🏻

So, small thread on Adi Shankaracharya, will expand later.
Key points: Left/modern historians are all in confusion about this legendary figure because Left ensured current accepted Buddha at 544BCE (MBH at 1500BCE,) all of which is a complete blunder if not absurd! #Adisankara

Why do we say that AdiSankara is at 509BCE?
Many points are there. Some of them here:
Kanchi matha itself has exact lineage records like 2 other mathas for first date of Adi Sankaracharya!
First two pages here:
Rare case of Wiki getting it correct.

3. Here are the remaining two pages of the lineage records of the Sankaracharya tradition. When this is the case, how can Padhat Moorkaas claim that 7/8 Century AD is the date for this legendary figure?
