SANKARA |
|
| On the bank of
the river Narmada in Gujarat, there was a, rishi called Govinda- pada. Sankara sat at his
feet and learnt religious truths from him. He then went to Kasi. There he wrotemany important books, explaining the Vedas and sastras. He argued with learned pandits there. He taught them the truth about God as he saw it. He travelled all over the country more than once, on foot, visiting important kshetras, and composing songs and prayers to the gods of the places. We have hundreds of these songs which are still being sung. He founded Mathas for spreading 'his message, and teaching religious truths. Those mathas are doing good work even today. |
