Several sages like Vasistha, Viswamitra, Valmiki, Veda Vyasa, Gowthama and several others have been propagating the eternal principles of Sanatana Dharma/ Hinduism from ancient times. Due to their tireless efforts the principles of Hinduism reached every corner of the world. However, India had to face several challenges in the form of external and internal onslaughts for the past three thousand years. Consequently several religious concepts against the principles of Vedas started spreading widely. In this background the advent and services of Sri Sankaracharya from Kaladi of Kerala gained significance. His main thrust is Advaita philosophy which explains the “One-ness of all universal beings”. Though he lived for very short duration of 32 years, the impact of his missionary activity on the society, is very high.But many of the students and youth of this generation are not aware about the life and contributions of Sri Sankaracharya. This book presents few details of his life and also the guiding principles of his teachings and works.
