From FB:Islamic namaz held in Kalady Shankaracharya Sanskrit University with loudspeakers before Ifthaar party sponsored by jihadist groups - PFI & SDPI. This government run University named after Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya has been notorious like JNU for Islamo-Leftism. Once the students even protested against installing a statue of Acharya in the university named after him. In their Shankara Jayanthi celebrations they often host people who go on to deride the Acharya in meetings held to celebrate his birth. Atleast Sanskrit department in JNU is pro-Hindu but this Sanskrit University is worse than JNU.

Subbu-ji: I could not google out the event that the FB mentions. It may not have been picked up in the news channels however.

I had to completely reframe my talk and say some innocuous things instead of going into any further details because it was not the proper time for an argument.I was shocked to see that the University has Shankaracharya's name for name's sake. Such is the power of demography.Aravinda Rao--On Mon, Apr 25, 2022 at 4:04 PM V Subrahmanian <v.subra...@gmail.com> wrote:--From FB:Islamic namaz held in Kalady Shankaracharya Sanskrit University with loudspeakers before Ifthaar party sponsored by jihadist groups - PFI & SDPI.

Dear Subbuji, Aravinda Raoji, Putranji and friends,It is a highly laudable that we have one university named after one of the greatest teachers of India, Sree Adi Sankaracharya. Please correct me if I am wrong, to my knowledge the Sringeri Math made a good donation of Rs. 2 (two) crores to finance the establishment of the Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit (SSUS) in Kalady, and the land for the same on the banks of the river Poorna was given on long lease by another follower of Adi Shankaracharya, and the State Government of Kerala took care of the rest of the financial need. There could have been other named and unnamed individual donors too, I am not aware of. The SSUS is a government unversity and it started in 1993, and after initial teething problems/issues, it appeared that everything is fine there. Being a non-profit public higher-education institution, it is open to all communities, subject to meeting the admission requirements.If the Muslim women and men came to attend the lectures of Dr. Aravindaji, it is a very good sign that they want to know about the teachings of the great teacher, Adi Shankaracharya. I read long back that even the prophet Muhammad (in the 7th century) admired India, by saying "cool breeze comes from India". Adi Sankaracharya was born in 509 BCE, which is about 11 (eleven) centuries before prophet Muhammad, who was born in c. 570 CE(AD). The Sankara-mathas in Dwarka, Puri, Kanchipuram and Kudali - Sringeri have their Guruparampara from the 5th century BCE time of Adi Sankaracharya. I was privileged to see all these guruparampara lists. BTW, the guru-parampara list of the Kudali-Sringeri math was published from Tirupati.If I may share with my Advaitin brothers and sisters, it is that, to my knowledge the Quran speaks of God having His place on His throne and that He has two hands. Islam does speak of Nirguna Brahman. Further I understand that one who touches the holy black stone in Kaba, is considered to have touched the right hand of God. You may be surprised to hear that In the oldest Shiva temple in the west-coast of India (said to have been originally erected by the Pandavas), near Mumbai, I have seen the devotees touching the black Shiva-linga in Shiva temple, and I also followed suit.In view of the above, if there be Muslim listeners to a talk on Advaita, the speaker may have some difficulty (though not insurmountable) to make them understand what Advaita is.My 2 centsSunil K. B.

As far as shRngeri maTha is concerned, you're wrong. You might find this paper interesting - https://archive.org/details/SundaresanShankaravijayaHistory_201706/page/n43/mode/2up?view=theater

It is a pity that on the advice of VS, the Sringeri Math (on the bank of Tunga) had adopted a wrong timeline. Sringeri math is confused about their guru-parampara and time-line of the math.
These two points alone show that VS is completely wrong.
Adi Sankara did not make Surashvacharya the , first mathadhipati of the Tunga Sringeri math.
that it is a crime to fiddle with the chronology/antiquity of a Shankara-math.
