Guest guest Posted February 13, 2002 Report Share Posted February 13, 2002 Sunder Namaste this site is really great and i thank you for letting us know about it just one question. in the home page it states that the Peetham was established by Adi Shankara in 482 BC. i was under the impression that the Adi Shankara was born in the late 8th century AD... which is right?..all books say the latter. ...if what the site states is true then Adi Sankara was around 2500 years ago...???!!Really? regards and pranaams jr >Namaste, > > You are referring to the 'upanayana' or 'yajnopavita' ceremony. > >Pl. visit: > >http://www.kamakoti.org/hindudharma/part17/chap1.htm > >The site has over 1000 pages of text on all aspects of Hindu Dharma, >discourses given by Sw.
