Sancara Jayanti


You may have read in history, that  Sancara Bhagavadpada  caused Buddhism to wane, in India.
This I say, is wrong.
I am named sankara - acharya after him.
And I say that this accusation is untrue. 

People who have read Sancara's commentaries will agree.
There is very meagre  condemnation of Buddhist path.

Sancara's condemnation was more of 'Sankhya' and 'Mimamsa' followers, of the Hindu culture.

His condemnation of Buddhism was only one-hundredth of  the censure of his fellow Hindus.

-Shri Chandrashekarendra Saraswati, Kanchi
