Translated by

(Adhi Sankara , one of the greatest aacharyas was born in Kaladi Kerala. His father died
when he was a young boy . With lot of persuasion and difficulty he got permission from his mother to take
Sanyasa and chose Govinda Bhagawat Pada
as his Guru. He enunciated and preached the
philosophy of Advaitha(no two) . The Hindu
religion was in a state of disarray at that
time and Adhisankara was able to bring great discipline in it by
preaching and convincing his
philosophy , reforming and
Organizing the worship system of
several Gods , Writing commentaries to Brahma Suthra and other Upanishads including Bhagawat Gita , Composing prayers extolling the deities
in very many temples across India , and establishing Several Mutts to protect
and prosper his philosophic thoughts all over India.It is believed
that he did all this within a span
of 24 years (from the age of 8 to the age of 32 , when he attained the feet of the Lord.
He is
worshipped all over India in various
temples.)
