    Ādi Shankarāchārya was born around 509 B.C. and died around 477 B.C. That be was born in 800 A.D. is wrongly established by Max Mueller and is adopted towards end of 20th century by one the 4 mutts.

    Till date, except one mutt, all others including Kanchi Kāmakóti Peetham, Kāncheepuram, take 509 B.C. as standard.

    Dr Chopra, how do you determine the mantras for people who do not know the place of their birth?

    The mantra phrase Sri Krishna Shankara is starting to make sense to me now. Thank you.

    Dualism isn’t easily given up. One must study Cartesian dualism carefully before accepting non physicalist monism. Physicalism is outright wrong because it cannot account for qualia in its ontology.
