(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.)
