• The month of Vaishakha holds a special significance in Hindu religion. According to the Hindu Calendar, Adi Shankaracharya was born on the 5th day after Amavasya during Shukla paksha in the month of Vaishakha in 788 CE.
• Shankara wrote his most profound commentary on the Vedanta Sutras of Vyasa. He wrote commentaries on the Gita, Upanishads and Brahma Sutras, which are the authorities on the Vedanta Shastras.
• The commentaries of Shankara are monumental works covering the meaning of Vedic teachings with clear reasoning and understandable language. The system of Vedanta is what is known as Advaita or Non-dualism.
• Shankara’s commentaries were put to severe test not only by the teachers of various schools of thought, but also by the sage Vyasa himself.
