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
