Sree SankaracharyaSree Sankara was one of the most illustrious sons of Kerala. He was born in a poor Brahmin family at Kalady. His father was Sivaguru and mother Arya Devi. Sankaran lost his father when he was very young. So he was brought up by his mother. When he was a boy, Sankaran wanted to become a Sanyasin. But his mother would not allow him. One day while bathing in the Periyar a crocodile caught hold of his leg and began dragging him into the deep waters. His mother began to cry. Sankaran said that the crocodile would let him go if he was allowed to become Sanyasin. So his mother gave him permission. So Sankaran left home and traveled all over India. Even when a boy he had learned all the ‘Sastras’. He accepted Govindacharya as his spiritual Guru. He became the greatest scholar of his time. He originated the ‘Adwaidasiddhantha’. He had a large number of disciples. He set up monasteries at Badrinath, Dwaraka, and Sringeri. He died at the age of 32.
