Happy Birthday x 2

published on Sat. Apr. 21st, '07 by Sita Chaitanya

There are two notable birthdays to celebrate today, April 22.

Sri Sankaracharya

Today is the Jayanti, or Hindu celebration of the birthday of Sri Sankaracharya, according to the spiritual calendar of the Divine Life Society.

Adi Sankara.

Among a number of other things which were all quite notable, Adi Sankara is the exponent of the great philosophy of advaita vedanta and the organizer of the ten Swami orders, whose lineage can be traced through the years directly to Swami Sivananda. You can read more of the highlights of his life and philosophy here.

Om Sri Sankaracharyaya Namah!

Swami Atma

Today is also the actual birthday of our own beloved teacher, Swami Atma. Happy Birthday Swamiji!!! Hope you have many, many more birthdays and years of wonderful sadhana and spiritual illumination.
