The Adi Shankaracharya founded the Dashnami tradition of sannyasa.to which many of India's great spiritual leaders have belonged over the centuries. These masters preserved and propagated the vedic lifestyle and yogic sadhanas which open up the mind, heart and one's whole life.

Even today some teachers of this essential goodness exist Living Shankara tells the story of Shankara's life-following his footprints, for they have formed the path that a growing number of people treasure. This book may be dry and dusty because the trail is old, but people who are sincerely interested in changing themselves and their lifestyle can still find guides to light the way: and that is the living legacy of Shankara.
