[Advaita-l] Adi Shankara was a Vaishnava from Vyaavahaarika Dasha

[KAMESWARARAO MULA]

Dear Rao garu,                         Does it really matter whether Sankara was Shaivite or Vaishnavite. He is advaitin. He didn't differentiate any form of Supreme reality and wrote stotras on all forms, didn't he.

No Sir, Whatever you said is absoute. How it matters? whether he is shavite or viashnavate. It is not the question of my concern.
Adi Shanakara is notrhing but Parameswara Swarupa, He is the ADIGURU, JAGADGURU, FOUNDER OF CHARDHAM, PRINCIPLE OF ADVIATA PHILSOPHY. He is the treasure of this karmic land and non has influenced that much in the kaliyuga.
He has askshatkara of Lord Parmeswara in the ChandalRupa. Parameshwara himslef took the final test of Shnakara  to remove the body conciouness and appoint him as Jagadguru. My grand father often used to say that Sham Karoti iti Shankara whcih means that who ever removes your doubts is Shankara.
My point of concern is that:
one shouldn't qustion or raise the dobuts on the Source. Adi Shankara is ADVIATA SOUCE TO ALL PEOPLE ON THE EARTH. HE IS THE JAGADGURU.
When some one makes a statement on the source, he should be triply sure to say and that to it is in VIDEO form & speaker is more effective in communicating the things and he shouldn't wagely/unambiguously issue statements like this. He is  commenting on Jagadguru's existence/integrity which is absurd.
