Śaṅkara (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781931406116)

Sankara is considered from many perspectives as a philosopher, a mystic, an exegete of the Sruti, a founder of monastic orders (matha), an Avatara (incarnation of Siva), a national hero, a master of one of the utmost realizations of the human spirit, an ocean of Wisdom and the glory of India. But above all, he is to be recognized as the supreme Instructor (Acarya) who was able to indicate the true and supreme end of human existence (and not only human): the Liberation (moksa) from samsara-becoming and the recognition of our own real nature.
