Adi Shankaracharya (Sanskrit: आदि शङ्कराचार्यः [aːdɪ ɕɐŋkɐɽɐ]) was an Indian philosopher and theologian who consolidated the doctrine of Advaita Vedanta. He is credited with unifying and establishing the main currents of thought in Hinduism.
Nayamars were saints devoted to Shiva and Alvars were saints devoted to Vishnu. ... The Nayanars and Alvars went from place to place composing exquisite poems in the praise of deities that were enshrined in the villages they visited, and set these poems to music.
