Question

What were the teaching of Shankaracharya​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Teachings of Sri Shankaracharya

Adi Shankara Acharya travelled widely in India and preached his Advaita philosophy wherever he went. He taught that supreme Brahman is Nirguna (without the Gunas), Nirakara (formless), Nirvisesha (without attributes) and Akarta (non-agent). Brahman is above all needs and desires.

Answer 2

The teachings of Shankara can be summed up in half a verse:

“Brahma Satyam Jagan Mithya Jivo Brahmaiva Na Aparah—Brahman (the Absolute) is alone real; this world is unreal; and the Jiva or the individual soul is non-different from Brahman.”This is the quintessence of his philosophy.

Adi Shankara Acharya travelled widely in India and preached his Advaita philosophy wherever he went. He taught that supreme Brahman is Nirguna (without the Gunas), Nirakara (formless), Nirvisesha (without attributes), and Akarta (non-agent). Brahman is above all needs and desires. Brahman alone is real, this world is unreal; and the Jiva is identical to Brahman.His teachings are available in the book Upadesa Sahasri: A Thousand Teachings, written by the great philosopher himself.

Shankara's teachings will continue to live as long as the sun shines.
