KALADI
- SANKARACHARYA
This
tiny Kerala Village enshrines many relics testifying to the
association of Jagadguru Sankaracharya, the pre-eminent saint
philosopher of all times. By timely propounding of Advaitha Vedantha
- the dominant philosophic school of Hinduism, he salvaged the
sanathana dharma from the claws of atheistic dragons and
polytheistic hydras. This sacred place, once the haven of devout
Nambudris has now carved out a covetable niche in the spiritual
history of India by turning itself out into a world renowned, centre
for spiritual inspiration and religiousinitation; for, it is here
the famous acharyas of the four maths congregate often to embarking
upon great missions for Viswasanthi, and it was here that great Adi
Sankara was born to Aryamba and Siva guru - the pious Nambudri
couple as a result of their devout prayers to Vadakkunathan of
Trichur.
