🔸Adi Shankara, also called Adi Shankaracharya, was an 8th-century Indian Vedic scholar and teacher. His works present a harmonizing reading of the sastras, with liberating knowledge of the self at its core, synthesizing the Advaita Vedanta teachings of his time. 🔸Lying slightly behind the Kedarnath Temple is the samadhi of Adi guru Shankaracharya, the saint who is said to have established the four sacred dhams in India that are an important pilgrimage for Hindus. The famous Hindu philosopher had attained nirvana (enlightenment) at a young age of 32. #adishankaracharya #adishankarajayanti #kedarnath #kedarnathtemple #kedarnathdham #kedarnathvalley #uttarakhand #uttarakhandtraveller #devbhoomi #devbhoomiuttarakhand Cre: shreepadgaonkar
