 Manthras for worshipping Adhi Sankara on his birthday

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 due to the coming out of Budhism and Jainism , who were trying to convert Hindus in to their religion. Apart from that Vamachara worship involving animal sacrifices and strange rites on the cremation ground was also getting popular. Adhisankara was able to bring great discipline in to our great religion of Sanathana Dharma 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. Here is an AShtotharam to worship him. Please do keep an idol of Adhi Sankara or his photo and worship him on his birthday/
Aadhi Sankara Ashtotharam
