You have completely missed my point. The primary question was regarding what makes a sampradaya worth following. Is it the antiquity and legacy of the Shankaracharya that intrigues you, or is your identity intrinsically tied to them due to your upbringing?


I agree with you on the lack of authentic acharyas in mainstream media and applaud you for staying firm in your belief. I would like to ask you if you have ever ruminated over:

  1. What exactly Adi Shankaracharya or Maha Periva have said (not sure if you believe the words of the other two perivas), and the reasoning for the same?
  2. Thought whether many of the divisive ideas brought forth (by the contemporary Shankaracharyas) are not for YOUR spiritual growth but rather for the preservation of the madam and the organisation at large?

You do not have to reply, but I suggest you ruminate over it. In my opinion, one must not get absorbed into such divisive ideas and must always strive for true jnanam that is unbiased, as that is what will lead to liberation.


Furthermore, could you kindly clarify the following:

  1. By "Ghanapathis", do you by any chance mean Ghanapatigal like the Vedic scholars?

  2. Who is Mool Charan?

I am unsure if I will continue to post in this thread any longer, as it is clear that we view the world with such different lenses, and now that we have shared our perspectives, it is only right to move on. I appreciate the discussion and wish you well on your spiritual journey.


I would like to end this post by quoting a Sanskrit saying I am sure we all must have encountered at least once,

विद्याधनं सर्वधनप्रधानम्
