Biography of Adi Shankaracharya

Indian History is full of philosophers, saints, fighters, and great men. Adi Shankracharya was an Indian philosopher who is famous as "Guru Shankracharya” and because of his work on the principle of “Advaita Vedanta." He was also the founder of Four Mathas (monasteries) who has the primary purpose of helping in chronological developments, resumptions, and circulation of the Advaita Vedanta.

He left worldly pleasures at a minimal age, and he traveled a lot of the Indian subcontinent, where he defeated various Hindu philosophers or thinkers in which some were conformists. Some were rebels who disagreed with the Hindu religion.
