I came across an article by one Vidyasankar virulently attacking Paramacharya and Jayendra Saraswathi of Kanchi Matam saying that the Kanchi Matam has no history beyond the middle of the 19th Century. He also came up to uphold the secularist liars of our history, in this instance contending that Adi Sankara was born in the year 788 AD. I also found that this guy Vidyasankar became the sweetheart of the anti-Hindu barbarians who style themselves as the tail bearers of a venomous anti-Brahmin called E.V.Ramaswamy Naicker. Actually they were all Hindus holding Christianity and its lies in esteem! They are the ones who are giving great publicity toVidyasankar’s tirade against Kanchi Matam.
This gentleman Vidyasankar must have lot of influence with Sringeri Matam for they changed their origin from a date of 44 B.C to 788 A.D. instead of admitting they lost track of their Guru Parampara. And Vidyasankar whose object is to denigrate Kanchi Matam ignores the fact that the other Sankara Peetams in the North have all in unison said that the date of Adi Sankara was 509 B.C. This is because he could not call them also fake!
I did some research on the date and among the so many materials I sifted through the following two are worth reading.
http://www.easterntradition.org/original%20sankaracarya.pdf
http://www.easterntradition.org/age%20of%20sankara%201.pdf
It conclusively states the original Sankaracharya was born in the year 509 B.C. at Kaladi, Kerala and died in 477 BC at Kanchi. There was a second Sankaracharya of the 8th Century AD called Abhinava Sankaracharya who was born actually in Chidambaram and he died at Kedarnath. (It seems he too was a Sankaracharya of Kanchi Peetam but the detractors wouldn’t admit it because they have to say that Kanchi Peetam has no history!) He is the one being touted as the original Sankaracharya by Vidyasankar. Because he wants to call Kanchi Mutt as fake he wishes to ignore that Adi Sankara passed away in Kanchi. So the need to bring in the second Sankara as the original one!
Janamejayan's Weblog 
THE GREAT MYSTERY BEHIND NOT AGREEING THE FACT THAT SHANKARA DIED AT KANCHI ISNOT KNOWN TO ANYBODY.DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT GURUPEETHAM IS? IF ANYBODY KNOWS WHAT IT IS THEN IF THEY AGREE THE FACT THAT SHANKARA DIED AT KANCHI ONE HAS TO TREAT KANCHI PEETHAM AS MAIN GURUPEETHAM. TO ANY SHISHYAS THE GURU SAMADHI PLACE IS OF MORE SANCTITY THAN ANY MONASTERY ESTABLISHED BY SHANKARA
What is the proof for the saying that sankara died at Kanchi? or for that matter Kanchi Math was founded by sankara? Mr Janamejayan regrets that vidysankar attacks Paramacharya and Kanchi Math? Paramacharya may be great. But the greatness of a man does not lend the institution he anointred with an antriquity that is not borne by facts. Facts, if any, can be given here by Janamejayan. But there should be no personal attacks such as vidyasankar was tutored by sringeri math etc.,
Dear Sri Sankaranarayanan,
Please do not arrogate that you know the truth and falsify Paramacharya. My weblog would not be a vehicle for that atrocity. Such stupidity would drown you into samsaara for a million mean births.
If you care to come out of your closed mind then you should read Dr. Antarkar, a distinguished Sanskrit scholar and an acclaimed researcher in form of 2 of his research books.

In the above book he has clearly proved beyond doubt that Kanchi Mutt was founded by Adi Sankara and that he passed away at Kanchipuram.
Guru Charanam! Guru Smaranam
Hara Hara Sankara! Jaya Jaya Sankara!
Janamejayan
I again repeat. No personal attacks like “you will drown into samsara” or branding my attempts to know truth as “stupidity” I have got even personal letter from Antarkar in response to my letter in “The Indian Express”. But I feel I am unfit to enter into those facts in this weblog please. Namaskaram.
Dear Sankaranarayanan,
It is no personal attack. It is my dhaarmic belief that no one sits in judgement over a Gnaani – who is Brahmam – without consequence. All that one does is a karma of which no one has the option to say ‘this will be my karma that bears fruit and this will be a karma that won’t’!
Hope you know the story of Nakkeeran.
Sir, you have Ramana’s picture and you talk this way. Maya can shield the eyes of the best of us….
Is Maya sheilding me or you?!
whoever may disputes the history of adisankara,but,truth never fails,and also, a fact cannot be altered by hundred texts.adisankara established the Advaidha,no one can deny it.The age of advaitha ,may be more than 2500 years i.e.500-600 B.C
Namaskaram Mr. Janamejayan
I would like to know who is the 2nd and 3rd kamakodi peedathipathi for Swami Aadi Shankaracharyar. And where can i get the full history n details of Swami Aadi Sankarar.
Kindly pls let me know.
Thank you
Dear Kalaiwane,
The Guru parampara of Kanchi peetam is given in this very website giving a brief of their life. Please click on Adi Sankara heading to your right and read all about it.
Janamejayan
Namaste Janamejayan Sir,
Until this day even I thought that Sri Sankara was from the 7th Century.It is this date that is printed in all our school books as well. But now we know the truth. But why is this done ? Is there any bad intention behind this? Why should Kanchi Peetham be projected as fake? Only shankara can save these people.
Pranaams,
Avinash
Respect all Tapasvies!
please read the book the never to be forgotten empire where the sringeri mutt age is accepted as 2000 years ago, as per the manuscript found in the pooja box of sri sachidananda sivaabhinava bharthi swamji the gurr of sri chadrasekerendra bharathi swami
it also says the sri sureshwaracharya lived for 800 years
