Dear Praveenji,

Further to my last mail, I wish to point out that there has been considerable efforts to ascertain the date of Adi Shankara, by many well-meaning people, who do not believe in the 509 BCE date.. One such person was Sri R.M.Umesh, the Press Secretary of the Shringeri Math, who in mid-1981 wrote a letter addressed to the King of Nepal, to find out if Adi Shankara visited Nepal during 400 - 500 B.C.. A letter from the Guthi Samsthan of Nepal, with an initial, was sent to Shri Umesh as reply, and it said as follows:

["We have not yet found any record so as to prove that Shree Adi Shankaracharya has effected a visit to Nepal during 400 - 500 B.C."]

Shri Umeshji took from this letter  that Adi Shankaracharya did not visit Nepal, but the Nepal history does say that Adi Shankaracharya did visit Nepal. To my mind, it would have been better if Shri Umeshji would have asked, during which Nepal king's rule, did Adi Shankaracharya visit Nepal. The date of Adi Shankara can be certainly found out by historical means,

Regards,
Sunil KB

       Namaste Praveenji,
 
 
 
 Thank you for the information. The book, I referred to,
 appears to be the thesis of Dr. Shastry submitted to the
 Karnatak university in 1976. The aim of the thesis, as
 stated,  was to review the history of the Sringeri math from
 the 14th century CE to 19th century CE and for that purpose
 the thesis is a contribution.
 
 
 
 As regards the Guruparampara, he states that from 820 (CE)
 to the commencement of Shri Vidya Sankara Tirtha's
 accesion, the dates cannot be fixed. However he has given
 the date of accesion of Shri Bharati Krishna Tirtha and not
 the date of accesion of  Shri Vidyashankara Tirtha. The
 thesis just gives the date of Adi Shankaracharya as 820 CE
 and is not concerned with the  disclosure of Shri
 Satchidananda Shiva Abhinava Narasimha Bharati, that Adi
 Shankara was born on the 14th year of the reign of
 Vikramaditya. 
 
 
 
 Regards,
 
 Sunil K,B,
