This is a short video clip of Adi Shankara movie. In this clip, Shankara explains how the human body is linked to the earth. He explains how the subtle elements get carried on in the gross body. The movie is in Sanskrit. I was unable to map the subtitles from the original movie to this clip, so I keyed in myself.

Sankara was going along the street one day with his pupils to take bath in the Ganges when he met a Chandala who was also passing along the street with his dogs by his side. The disciples of Sankara shouted and asked the Chandala to clear off the road. The Chandala asked Sankara: "O, venerable Guru! You are a preacher of Advaita Vedanta and yet you make a great difference between man and man. How can this be consistent with your teaching of Advaitism? Is Advaita only a theory?". Sankara was very much struck by the intelligent query of the Chandala. He thought within himself, "Lord Siva has assumed this form just to teach me a lesson". He composed then and there five Slokas called the 'Manisha Panchaka'. Every Sloka ends thus: "He who learnt to look on the phenomena in the light of Advaita is my true Guru, be he a Chandala or be he a Brahmin"

The 5 established Shankaracharya Mathas with their Jagadguru Shankaracharyas are: (1)Sringeri: Bharati Teertha Swaminaha (2)Puri: Neeschalanand Saraswati (3&4)Shankaracharya of Dwaraka Math, Swaroopanand Saraswati, is also Shankaracharya of Jyotirmath. (He's the ONLY recognised Jagadguru of Jyotirmath. So at all official gatherings of the Shankaracharya Maths, he represents both Dwaraka & Jyotir Maths) (5)Kanchi (appoints successors early): Jayendra Saraswati & successor Vijayendra Saraswati That means this "Devanand Saraswati" is no Jagadguru Shankaracharya. But the muslims commenting on the propaganda videos of trytobekool and atharbaba believe the charade, because they don't do any background checks whatsoever on who this person praising their religion is. They just assume this man 'must be' whom Zakir Naik said he was. They're either deceived or they're eager to believe his deception. Nor is this pretender 'Devanand Saraswati' recognised by the Shankaracharya Matha he claims to represent: An official representative of that Shankaracharya Matha - Shree Shankaracharya Swaroopanand Saraswati - has identified 'Devanand Saraswati' as NOT being a Shankaracharya at all. Zakir Naik hired the imposter in the video. Another instance of a fraud hired to lie on Hinduism: In 2002, the American Federation of Muslims of India (AFMI) paid the well-known fraud "Swami Adhokshyananda" to speak in the US against Hinduism. That pretender is better known as the FAKE 'Puri Shankaracharya' and has long been exposed. The real one never went to the US. Documented details of that imposter can be found at the ivarta com page http://www.ivarta.com/cause/IC11_SCharya.htm FAKE "Respected Shankaracharya" Views On ISLAM. 2 videos of disinformation (lies) uploaded on Youtube: - "Shankaracharya speaks about Islam" by trytobekool (video of May 30, 2007) - '"Respected Shankaracharya" Views On ISLAM' by atharbaba (video of July 18, 2007) In an hoax event organized in Delhi on the topic "Misconceptions and it's clarification on Islam" a talk by Dr.Zakir Naik, they hired a Fake 'Shankaracharya' for being the cheif guest speaks on Islam. Imposter presented as some allegedly "Respected Shankaracharya" and his Views On ISLAM. Hired to speak as instructed - supposedly "Express His View Golden Thoughts On ISLAM".

Debate on entry of Christians and Muslims in Guruvayoor. ? Rahul Easwar - "1200 years back, the greatest Indian Guru Sree Shankaracharya defined our temple systems, now we can evolve them to adapt to the modern times. In Rahul Easwar's opinion, "We should allow Christians and Muslims into Guruvayyoor and other sacred temples taking inspiration from Sabarimala. The great Singer, Yesudas, a Christian, Yosuf Ali Kecheri,a great devotee of Guruvayoorappa, should all be allowed. The gates of our temples should be opened to all irrespective of Caste, religon and creed. Sabarimala is a great example of this. 1000 years back Lord Ayyappa built a mosque for his Muslim friend Babar inside Temple Complex. Ayyappa was a great revolutionary, a visionary, a philosopher, the Kaliyugavugavardan who Indians believe to be the upholder of justice till Kalki, the final avatar arrives.

Anta literally means 'end', and eshti is 'wish, desire, seeking to go towards'. Antyeshti, or the funeral rites, is the last sanskara performed for an individual. It probably originated from the need to dispose off the body in a befittingly humane manner. This practical requirement later developed into a religious belief. It is believed that one conquers the earth through the sanskaras after birth and heaven through the sanskaras after death. Because of the belief in the existence of a soul, death signifies the end only of one birth, and preparations must be made for a safe journey to the next world. Food and other articles believed to be necessary on this journey are also provided to the dead. To this end, antyeshti serves to dispose of the body, equips the soul with what it needs for its journey to Yamaloka (see Moksha), and frees the soul's earthly survivors from the pollution caused by death. It is believed that until this ritual is performed, the soul is not sent on to the next world and remains on earth, where it flits about restlessly as a ghost (see Bhuta, Preta, Pishacha). Fire was also believed to cleanse the souls of the dead. Funeral rites differ marginally across the country, but most beliefs and practices are alike. When a person's death seems inevitable, he is made to lie with his head towards the south, since this is the direction Yama is believed to come from. Vedic mantra or verses from the Ramayana or Bhagavad Gita are recited to him. Water, with tulasi leaves soaked in it, is poured into his mouth. After death, the body is tied to a bamboo bier or arthi, facing upwards with the head to the south. The dead man's son then bathes, is tonsured (mundan), and bathes again. He covers the corpse with an unbleached, uncut cloth, which is considered very pure. This is to prepare the departing soul for its journey to the next world. The corpse is taken to the cremation ground in a procession headed by the eldest son, who carries a pot of water. After reaching the cremation ground, a suitable place is selected for the funeral pyre. It is purified by sprinkling water-using stalks of durva. Mantra are chanted to scare away evil spirits. Then the pyre is built. The body is then laid on the pyre with the head to the south. A piece of purifying gold is placed on the lips. More logs of wood are then placed on the pyre atop the body. The son circumambulates the pyre three times with the pot of water he has brought with him. He sprinkles water on the pyre as he goes around. After going around the pyre thrice, he stands at the head of the body and drops the pot so that it breaks. He then takes a lit log of wood, with which he lights the pyre on all four sides, while the priest recites prayers to Agni. The mourners then leave the pyre and bathe in the nearest river with their sacred thread hanging across the chest from the right shoulder (see Upanayanam). Facing south, they offer a handful of water to the dead man. On reaching home and before entering the house, they purify themselves by touching any of these things found in the vicinity of the house: a stone, fire, cow dung, grain, 'til seed, oil or water. According to the Agni Purana, neem leaves should also be chewed. During this time, the family observes many restraints, like not cooking food at home. Their neighbors must feed them, while they work out their grief and readjust their lives after the death in the family. This practice not only allows the bereaved family some time to recover from their loss but also enforces a sense of community. After the cremation is the collection of bones or asthi-sanchaya. To the recitation of Vedic mantras (see mantra), these are collected in an urn. Care is taken not to leave any of the bones behind. First the ashes of the lower body are collected and put into the urn, then the ashes of the upper body, and lastly the ashes of the head. Till the Sutra period, this urn was buried, but now, it is carried to the Ganga or to any other river and immersed, which is believed to lead the deceased straight to heaven. For 11 days after the death, offerings of food (pindadana) are made to the deceased. The funeral rites end with Shradha, which is performed on the thirteenth day after death, (tervi). Traditionally, these funeral rites are not performed for young children, unmarried girls, and ascetics or sanyasis (see Ashram) . Verses referring to the burial of the dead are found in the Rig-Veda (see Veda). However, by the end of the Vedic period, burial had been largely replaced by cremation. The Grihyasutras (see Sutra) do not mention the burial of the dead at all. Dr Anand anandjee
