Translated by Swami Tapasyananda, 195 Pages, Hard Cover.
Sri Sankaracharya is undoubtedly the most widely known of India's saintly philosophers, both within the country and outside, and there is a constant enquiry for an account of his life. It is not that there are no lives, or rather life-sketches of his, in English, written by modern scholars, but they are extremely unsatisfactory in giving any adequate idea of the great Acharya or of his wonderful personality. This is one of the traditional lives of Sankara by Madhava-Vidyaranya.
