	Sri Adi Sankara : kamakoti.org
		Sankara was moved by her selflessness and the poverty of the lady and prayed to Goddess Lakshmi in a beautiful sloka which is called "Kanaka Dhara Stotram".
		When Sri Sankara was in Sringeri, he divined by his superior powers that his mother was in her deathbed, and as per his promise while taking Sanyas that he would be by her side while she breathes her last, he reached Kaladi and paid his last respects to the old lady.
		Sri Sankara did the last rites for his mother but the people of Kaladi said that a Sanyasi does not have the right to do the last rites, but he did not hear that and carried the body of Aryambal and put her in the pyre himself and lit it himself.

		Sankara establishes the source of his philosophy at a remote and subtle point never quite clearly visioned again until a thousand years later.
		It was thoughtful of Sankara to confine his esoteric doctrine to philosophers; for, as Voltaire believed, as only a society of philosophers could survive without laws, so only a society of supermen could live beyond good and evil.
		Sankara not only elaborated it in teaching and defended it successfully in debate, but he expressed snatches of it in some of the most sensitive religious poetry of India.

	VNN Editorial - Advaita & The Bhagavad Gita
		Sankara differs principally from the other schools of Vedanta in that he does not acknowledge the ultimacy of the personhood of Godhead.
		Sankara, in attempting to identify the precise ontological status of maya, introduces his own term, mithya, weaving it into the scripture through his commentary as though it originated therein.
		Sankara's explanation of this sutra is his own invention and it departs radically from the text of Badarayana's, in which there is absolutely no mention of anything remotely resembling the notion of a two tier Brahman in the entire treatise.

	Sankara on the Necessity and Nature of Intelligent Creation
		Sankara claims that this involves the twin concepts of "subsistence and re-absorption." The fact that origin is mentioned first in no way assumes a temporal beginning to the universe, such a question is meaningless.
		Sankara bends his promise here by indulging in appeals to the Scriptural authority of his position, but recovers nicely by illustrating that pleasure, pain and dullness are not capable of being attributed to both inner and outer sensations.
		Sankara affirms that the denial of activity in the object is neither the aim of his argument or a genuine reductio ad absurdum of his position.

	Bhaja Govindam of Adi Sankara
		Sankara made the edifice of Hindu religion strong by his rational and scientific exposition of the Upanishadic philosophy so that Sanatana Dharma could face all the challenges during the vicissitudes of history till modern times.
		Sankara was touched with pity at the ignorance and folly of the man to be wasting away the most precious 'dusk hours' of his life for a mere intellectual accomplishment instead of spending them in contemplation on the Lord, praying for spiritual enlightenment and for release from the bondage of Samsara.
		Sankara intimated that men waste and while away their lives in many (or most) futile ways, groveling in the mire of earthly attachments forgetting God who is the only goal in life.

		Sankara was moved with pity that in his old age this man was wasting his time when he should be spending it in spiritual pursuits.
		Sankara pointed out to the old man that the aphorism, durnjkarane, will not come to his rescue when the death comes.
		Here it should not be mistaken that Sankara was against other branches of learning like grammar or logic, which are very essential for the study of Vedanta and hence the great acharya would not have undermined the study of these.

		The next step was the advent of Sankara to rectify this extreme that was brought about in human thought by the adulterated forms of Buddhistic idealism, which were all extreme types of thinking.
		This was the consequence chronologically speaking, as I mentioned to you, a historical reason for the teaching which Sankara gave in the way he did it.
		But suffice it to say that the Vedanta of Sankara came as a remedy to the diversified ways of thinking which created an unnecessary conflict even in daily practices of human beings, and this he did without going contrary to the injunctions of the Vedas and the Upanishads.

	Emerson and Sankara
		Sankara's central problem was to uphold non-dualism, and at the same time provide a coherent account of his conception of Brahman, the nature of Its causal power, Its relation with illusion or maya and the cosmos, and finally the connection between Brahman and the individual.
		Thus the essence of Sankara's theory was to argue that a power within Brahman gave rise to the world of name and form, a world which was taken to be real by souls in ignorance but which eventually came to be known essentially as the unreal product of wrong knowledge.
		Emerson also shared with Sankara the foundational and unchanging belief that the purpose of the spiritual life was Emancipation or Enlightenment, a position fixed from the time he summed up his early Idealist speculations in 1822 with the Hindu poem "Hymn to Narayana." It was this very idea that inspired Emerson's break with Christianity.

	Sankara's Arguments against the Buddhists
		The more enthusiastic of Sankara's followers claim that he is chiefly responsible for driving the buddhists out of India.
		Scholars outside India have also been far from agreement in their opinions, for some have emphasised the practical element of Sankara's doctrine, which is opposed to Buddhism, while others, by emphasising the idealistic and acosmic elements, have reduced the differences to a minimum.
		What we have in the Brahma-sutra-bhasya is the accumulated philosophy of a millenium....Now to determine Sankara's exact attitude toward Buddhism, it is essential that we attempt to disentangle what is original with Sankara and what is not.

	Sankara, India's Greatest Impersonalist Meditated on Lord Krishna and the Bhagavad Gita
		Sankara was not such a fool that he would accept Krsna as an ordinary man and at the same time offer Him all devotional obeisances, knowing Him as the son of Devaki and Vasudeva.
		Sankara, as an incarnation of Lord Siva, knows all these spiritual existences, but he did not disclose them to his then Buddhist followers because it was impossible for them to know about the spiritual world.
		Sankara himself offered his salutations to Lord Krsna so that some of his intelligent followers might understand the real fact by the example set by their great master, Sankara, the incarnation of Lord Siva.

		The famous and immemorable event of his life and work is a consequence of the chronology of social history as well as a consequence of the logic of human thought.
		So all these good thoughts which are necessary as reformations in the history of man, got distorted by the passage of time and people began to argue in various ways positing realities according to their own whims, fancies and predelictions, and there was again another chaos.
