He debated! He transformed the consciousness of entire land and people with his word. You cannot change the world by force for you will be always met with resistance. People can be crippled by fear but love can transformed within their hearts and minds.
You are trying to provide black and white answers.. The professor from University of Chicago has definitely not dug deeper into the philosophical concepts of not just Shankaracharya, but also Ramanujacharya or Madhwacharya. The problem with your documentary is that it appears to have deeper analysis on the surface, but not really. I would suggest just interview vedantic teachers of different traditions, and you will start to understand nuances. Basically, the Indian thought is you can explore truth about existence through belief systems or unrelenting questioning. These are ends of the spectrum by the way.. And there are many paths in-between. Western tradition of pursuit of truth is very narrow, filled with dogmas and only belief systems. Hence for someone raised in that tradition, it is hard to grapple with nuances. Hope you pursue truth!
Totally agreed .. somewhere the narrative sounds biased.. but that's what it's always been.. Adi Shankara is/was not the only prophet like figure.. there are tons of other people who have contributed in their own ways .. anyways I would like to say good attempt at trying to understand Advaita vedanta.. but it could be better
Hello and thank you! I made this documentary by piecing through archive footage and adding relevant visual stimuli, the man speaking is Professor Sunil Khilnani and it is taken from the BBC Radio 4 series, 'Incarnations: India in 50 Lives, Shankaracharya: A God Without Qualities'.
Good work sir...but it's not hinduism..which the invaders named it so .it's sanatanam...a Dharma which teaches how to find out the god in u...and a science to live a life of Dharma... 🙏🙏
The name "Jagadguru" teacher of the world, the teacher of the world is a distinction to which the people of Vishvakarma Caste alone are entitled (Wilson Dictionary). When the world-famous Shankaracharya of Travancore, the founder of the Avaita School of Philosophy ... halted at Masulipatam he styled himself "Jagadguru". The Devakammalars of South India, who were very jealous of their title were incensed at an apparent impostor trying to assume what was their own exclusive propert, questioned his right to the distinction, when the philosopher sang the following lines: "Acharya Sankaro nama "Twashta putro nasanyasa, "Viprakula gurordiksha, "Visvakarmantu Brahmana" "My name is Shankaracharya, I am a descendant of Twashtar, I have come here to teach the Vipras the right of wearing the sacred thread, I am a Brahmana of the Vishvakarma Caste." (Shankaracharya Vijaya) This is irrefutable proof that the people of the Vishvakarma Caste are Brahmans.
I don't think this needs to be disputed at all. Mostly, being a brahman was a choice at the time and wasn't as rigid as it became later on. Also, it probably doesn't matter now at all since you can still follow the path of a Brahman and try to attain Brahmagyana or else it would be a waste of disputing on this matter on the whole.
Hindu Ashoka converted to Buddhism and made India, China, Sri Lanka Buddhist countries... Adi Shankara, won India back to Brahmanical Hinduism and brought back casteism.. Adi Shankara or his followers didnt go to Sri lanka because of some religious belief that sea is God or something like that & shall not be crossed...So, Srilanka is still a Buddisht country
buddha dismantle the foundation of Vedas . Hindu resort to voilence for is revival eg Mihirakula is said to have razed 1600 viharas, stupas and monasteries, and “put to death 900 Kotis, or lay adherents of Buddhism”. Madhava Acharya, in his “Sankara-digvijayam” of the fourteenth century A.D., records that Suddhanvan “issued orders to put to death all the Buddhists from Ramesvaram to the Himalayas”.sankar lead the camping

I would like to ask you what buddha think about intercaste marriage of Brahmins? 🤡
@@antiabrahamicreligion
He is bu;ddhist wh;o h;as pr;ide in ex;pansionism of Bu;ddhism.
Yet Adi Shankaracharya himself could not overcome the maya of caste system and all Shankaracharya's appointed are brahmins.
is this why he touched the feet of chandala?
On;ly b'rahmins c;an be;come Shan'karacharya. N;othing w;rong in th'at.
