[Advaita-l] Shankara authenticates Shiva as the son of Brahma

[D Gayatri]

I have already read that poorly written article. In his BSB, Shankara
confirms that Narayana is the supreme Atman. Hence, that article need not
be taken seriously by me because the article contradicts the views of
Jagadguru Shankara bhagavatpAda, and my interest lies with Shankara's
philosophy.
