"Tracking
the Historical / other evidences to decide the birth and life
period of Adi Sankara".
There are differences of opinion on the birth and life
period of Adi Sankara. Some
experts argue it is in the 8th Century AD and others say it is in
the 6th century BC. The
stage is open for a discussion and hopefully an agreement at the
end to decide the hypothesis that is agreeable to all.

Adi Sankara was born in the 6th Century BC, he must have
influenced other religious thoughts or if he was born in the 8th
Century AD, he must have been influenced by other religious
philosophies.
