Adi Shankara, also known as Adi Shankaracharya, was an Indian Vedic scholar and teacher (acharya). He lived in the eighth century CE. He synthesised the Advaita Vedanta teachings of his time and offered a harmonising reading of the shastras with liberating knowledge of the self at its core through his writings.

Adi Shankaracharya established four monastic centers in different parts of India and appointed a disciple as the head of each. According to reports, his philosophy remains relevant and is studied by scholars, spiritual practitioners, and those interested in Indian philosophy.
