Description
Several books have come on Shankara's life-story. But this book is unique. Here Shankara's life is projected from a totally new angle. The correct picture of Shankara, that he was a great Revolutionary who brought about drastic changes and who fought against the odds of his time, comes out as the theme of this work. The reader will be surprised to know the difficulties and agonies to which Shankara was put to by the orthodox brahmins of his time. Inspite of this, Shankara achieved great success in changing the modes of worship, in reducing the conflicting cults and in further reducing the conflict between them in conquering over-ritualism, removing the pernicious practices, in unifying India and in revolutionising man's approach to Spirituality, that Shankara brought about marvellous changes adopting scientific and logical approach to spirituality, that too in a short span of just 32 years of Earthly sojourn is brought out clearly in this book.
The stupendous volume of work left behind by Shankara justifies the declaration in this book that "it requires another Shankara to know what this Shankara has done!"
