Guest guest Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 Namaste: Yes! you are right. According to Panchang, Shankara Jayanthi falls on Mesha (Tamil month of Chithra)on Panchami Thithi. This year, it is on 6th of May, today. It should be also pointed out that this identification of Sankara's birth celebration has been formally announced last year at Kamakoti Peetam (approved by all the Peetams and other Hindu religious orgnizations). Interestly this week is quite an important week for the reason, the birthdates of several other saints are also happening in the same week: Examples: Sri Ramanujacharyas Pujyaswami Chinmayananda Pujyasri Jayendra Saraswati (Others who know other birthdays of saints fall during the week can share the information) The list wants to join this joyous occasion to remember Adi Sankara and pays pranams to our Satguru. Warmest regards, Ram chandran Note: Those who live in Washington Metropolitan should attend the Siva Vishnu Temple Celebration, especially the vedic chanting by the group lead by Shri Ananthakrishna. Sri Ananthakrishna is doing a great service to the local community for more than a decade and he conducts classes for a large contingent of students.

Am reproducing what i posted to the advaita-L list yesterday. Lot of people mention Ramana Maharishi & Ramakrishna Paramahamsa as examples of realised souls. I am attaching a link to the article in "The Hindu" newspaper which gives details about the life of another such realised soul - Sadasiva Brahmendra. I have visited his samadhi at Nerur on the banks of the river cauvery. His work - "Atma Vidya Vilasam" is supposed to be a gem of work on Advaita. I have heard that HH Sri Sri Chandrasekhara Bharathi Swamiji of Sringeri, who was also a Jivanmukta, used to recite Atma Vidya Vilasam regularly.
