Guest guest Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 All, pranamas, I have a question for the learned members. Is there any reference (even minor) within the Acharya Adi Shankara literature about christianism as a religion? If yes, could the source being pointed at?

Sankara was concerned only with the systems of philosophy which had some connection with the vedas. Buddhism and Jainism also had their roots in the vedas though they interpreted them differently. So their philosophies were also considered by him. Regards, S.N.Sastri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
