Char Dham Yatra 2023: The Samadhi Of Adiguru Shankaracharya At Kedarnath, Uttarakhand
On the back side of the Kedarnath Temple of Lord Shiva, lies the Samadhi of Adi Shankara, the saint who spotted Chota Char dham during his journey in the Himalayas. He hailed from the southernmost tip of India, that is Kalati, in Kerala and devoted his entire life span to propagating of Advaita siddhantha.
He established the Char Dhams that later grew to become a sacred pilgrimage centre for devout Hindus. The samadhi of Adi Shankara interests those who have heard of him and know about his personality, life and his contributions to the Dharmic scenario.
The
Legend
Surrounding
His
Samadhi
Adi
Shankara
breathed
his
last
near
the
Kedarnath
temple,
where
his
samadhi
is
erected
today.
During
his
visit
to
the
Kedarnath
temple
in
Uttarakhand,
he
was
spotted
behind
the
Kedarnath
temple
and
was
seen
walking
away
towards
Himalayas
until
he
was
untraceable.
The
Samadhi
attracts
hordes
of
curious
visitors
from
all
over
India,
especially
those
who
know
about
his
life
and
events.
Adi
Shankara
was
believed
to
be
an
avatar
of
Lord
Shiva
who
took
birth
to
establish
the
precepts
of
Sanatana
dharma
and
Advaita
Vedanta
(philosophy).
He
was
the
founder
of
the
Smartha
cult
in
Brahmins
who
worship
him
as
their
Adiguru.
Sringeri
matha
in
Karnataka
is
one
of
the
most
important
places
of
pilgrimage
for
the
Smartha
brahmins.
Four
Mathas
Established
By
Adi
Shankara
Adi
Shankaracharya
was
an
erudite
scholar
who
was
a
living
legend
and
he
performed
miracles
apart
from
preaching
Sanatana
Dharma
and
Advaita.
He
established
four
mathas
one
of
which
is
in
Sringeri,
by
the
name
Sri
Jagadguru
Shankaracharya
Mahasamsthana
Dakshinamnaya
Sri
Sharada
Peeta,
Sringeri,
Karnataka.
The
other
mathas
are
at
Badrinath.
Dwarka,
and
Puri.
Sringeri
Matha
Of
Adi
Shankara
Sringeri
is
where
Brahmanism
is
alive
in
all
its
glorious
colours
and
this
is
where
any
brahmin
you
can
spot
on
the
street
happens
to
be
a
trained
expert
in
scriptures
and
Vedas.
Sringeri
is
where
Shankaracharya's
precepts
are
being
followed
judiciously.
He
travelled
as
far
as
the
Himalayas
and
built
the
Kedarnath
temple
in
the
8th
century
AD
after
he
had
established
the
four
mathas.
Renovation
Of
The
Samadhi
It
was
a
very
small
insignificant
structure
earlier
but
was
later
renovated
by
Shanakacharya
of
Dwarka
and
Jyotir
Peeth.
They
added
a
statue
and
spatika
lingam
to
the
construction
way
back
in
2006.
The
samadhi
is
made
of
black
stone
and
has
a
garden
surrounding
the
area.
The
samadhi
is
600
meters
from
Kedarnath
temple
and
at
a
walkable
distance.
Wear
sturdy
walking
shoes,
carry
water
and
snacks
as
the
walk
is
a
bit
tiring.
The
Miraculous
Powers
Of
The
Spatika
Lingam
Spatika
lingam
is
a
trigonal
crystal
which
is
one
part
silicon
and
2
parts
of
oxygen.
A
mystical
healing
crystal,
this
removes
all
curses
and
bad
karma
of
the
individual.
Somehow
during
the
floods
of
2013,
most
of
the
samadhi
and
temple
vanished
from
sight.
The
Hot
Water
Spring
His
final
moments
came
on
when
he
journeyed
from
Jyotirmath
Ashram
at
Badrinath
to
the
slops
of
Kedarnath.
As
a
response
to
the
request
from
his
disciples
who
found
the
weather
conditions
very
harsh
to
bear
with,
he
created
a
hot
water
spring
for
his
devotees
to
relieve
themselves
of
the
problems
due
to
extreme
weather
The
Experience
Caretakers
perform
meditation,
prayer
and
rituals
here
on
your
behalf.
You
feel
the
tranquillity
settling
into
your
soul.
This
is
a
place
for
those
who
strive
for
contemplation
and
finally
liberation.
