Shankara: Crest jewel of Wisdom

[Guest guest]

It might have been better to post this as a text file to the "Files"

option and send one post to tell us that it had been uploaded. That

way it wouldn't fill up the group messages and it could be downloaded

for study as one file.

 

But thanks for doing it anyway.

))) Thank you for bringing that option to my attention.

The text is generally attributed to Shankara, although with most such

older texts, there is the likelihood of acretions and barnacles as it

sailed down the ages. There are also certain obsolete cultural

references, such as the anachronistic promotion of manhood to a

higher form of human manifestation, as well as caste allusions, that

can now be seen as a product of relative mind.

Nevertheless, it can be studied, if one is so inclined, as a key

source text for the Advaita School, and i recall that Ramana

especialy was fond of recommending Shankara's contribution.

In Kriya Yoga, Shankara is one named as being directly initiated by

Babaji.
