Today is Aadi Sankaracharya Jayanti. This day is the 1235th Birth Anniversary of Sree Aadi Sankaracharya.
Adi Shankara was born in Kalady which is situated in Kerala during 788 C.E. and he disappeared at young age of 32 in year 820 C.E. Adi Shankaracharya Jayanti is observed on Panchami Tithi during Shukla Paksha of Vaishakha month and currently falls between April and May.
Shankaracharya consolidated the doctrine of Advaita Vedanata and revived it at a time when Hindu culture was on decline.
Adi Shankara, along with Madhava and Ramanuja, was instrumental in the revival of Hinduism.
These three teachers formed the doctrines that are followed by their respective sects even today.
They have been the most important figures in the recent history of Hindu philosophy.
