Sri Adi Shankara Charithram

      Hey guys. This is the Mahaperiyava Satsangam that my mom did on May 18, 2019. In this Satsangam, my mom talked about Sri Adi Shankara Charitham. She started off by talking about the philosophies of Advaitam and she also quoted how Mahaperiyava explained Advaitam in a beautiful manner. She also explained how Adi Shankara is the universal Guru (Jagadguru). She then talked about Adi Shankara's childhood and how he lived the first eight years of his life with his mom, Aryambal. Then, she explained in detail about how Adi Shankara gets Sanyasam at the age of eight. While speaking about Adi Shankara's Sanyasam, she also described about the importance of Guru Parampara. Adi Shankara traveled across India, spreading his words of Advaitic wisdom on his way. Afterwards, he entered the Sarvagna Peetam at Kanchipuram. I found this topic very interesting because Adi Shankara is the first Guru. The story of Adi Shankara and the miracles that occurred in people's lives during his time period is just astonishing. My favorite part of Adi Shankara's story was the debate between him and Mandala Mishra. Sri Mahaperiyava himself is the sole Avataram of Sri Adi Shankara himself. Here is the video below for Sri Adi Shankara Divya Charithram. Enjoy!
