The greatest exponent of psychology of health was Adi Shankara of 6th cenyury AD born at Aladi village in Kerala.His He was the first who broke duality of mind and advocated the theory of monism or single reality.He contended that what looks dual like matter and mind is an illusion or bramha.He was very popular with english philosophers who wrote scores of commentaries on his life and thinking.Shankara was near atheists and claimed that every mind has right and possibility to reach the STAGE of Brahman.He proved it in life by his incredible accomplishments.He travelled on foot from Kerala to Kailas on Himalayas several times during the short time of a decade.He attained Samadhi at the age of 31.He wrote thousands of verses on his philosopphy and commentaries on VEDAS.He renovated thousand of hindu temples all over India and built Shankara Mutt at various holy places in North and South India.Apart,halted single halted the march of Jainism and buddhism in India.It is said that he attained siddhi powers and performed very many miracles.He returned from nowhere when his mother lay dieing at home in Kerala and performed her last rights alone and cremated her on plantain leaves and stubs,neighbours refusing to provide wood and fire.The remanats of the wood is still seen near the temple.None knows till today where he attained samadhi and his remains are not found till today.Last moment,he took farewell from his desciples and and simply walked away and disappeared.This great saint,sage and savant is considered as an avatar of Shankara,God himself.If one can read his teachings,and practice meditation based on his teachings,one can live with hhgood health and happiness.English writers have written about him in great numbars and one can benefit from his teachings and disciplines prescribed.If one is interested in hearing his footsteps,take a holiday and visit Aladi.It is said that early mornings,the saint goes to nearby river wearing paduka and one can hear the sweet sounds of the footwear from the bed.God bless the world.
