Shankaracharya nourished sanatana dharma, culture: Sanadi
Dharwad: Rich tributes were paid to Adi Jagadguru Shankaracharya on his birth anniversary, at a programme organised by the district administration and the department of Kannada and Culture at Dharwad on Saturday. Inaugurating the programme, chairman of Hubballi-Dharwad Urban Development Authority, Shakir Sanadi hailed Adi Jagadguru Shankaracharya for his role in preserving and nurturing sanatana dharma in India. He said Shankaracharya's birth anniversary is rightly being celebrated as Philosophers' Day , as it is a tribute not only to Shankaracharya, but to all those spiritual leaders and philosophers who strived to ensure sanatana dharma and its culture survived despite Mughal invasions. "Adi Jagaguru Shankaracharya propagated the philosophy of Advaita Vedanta and interpreted the Upanishads. He established four Sharada Peethas in North, East, South, and West India. It is very important that life stories of such great souls are taught to in schools," Sanadi added. Datta Avadhoota of Sri Brahma Chetanya Ashram, Hebballi, graced the occasion and said that Shankaracharya was born in the 8th century and is one of the most significant Vedantic philosophers. He taught the Advaita Vedanta philosophy and expounded the principle of 'Ekamevaadvitiyam' (the one without a second). His teachings emphasised the importance of knowledge, devotion, and meditation, he noted. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Underground Oddities: Weird Characters Spotted in the Subway Subway Quirks and Curiosities Undo Kannada and culture department's assistant director Kumar Bekkari and writer Bharati Hegde also spoke.
