KALADI - THE BIRTH PLACE OF ADI
SANKARA |
|
|
He met his
guru, Govinda, on the banks of the Narmada River. Under him he mastered yoga, Vedanta and
other systems and became a knower of the Brahman. The guru was immensely pleased with his
disciple and bade him go to Kashi next and write the commentaries for various scriptures
and re-establish the Eternal religion.
Sankara obeyed his master and on the way worshipped at several temples, teaching
scriptures to earnest students. His erudition and exposition attracted many scholars as
also disciples. The first sanyasin disciple of Sankara was Sanandana who later came to be
known as Padmapada. |
