This
child prodigy besides mastering all the holy scriptures in o trifle
of three years performed many miracles to the wonderment of
literates and illiterates. Among them changing the course of river
Purna and bringing it very near to his house for enabling his aged
mother to bathe daily is seen even today. It also possesses the very
same family temple of Sri Krishna, where his ancestors worshipped
some twelve hundred years ago.
The
religious renaissance that followed has done yeoman services to this
great son of India by erecting monumental memorials which by their
sublimity and loftiness are luring the religionists and tourists
through out the year. The tall eight-storeyed Adisankara kirthi
sthambham that came up recently, seems broadcasting to the world the
glory of his life. Among the other worth seeing memorials the
Ramakrishna asram; the ancestral temple of Sankara; the samadhi of
Aryamba deserve reverent mention and indispensable visitation.
