Adi Sankaracharya (788-821 CE) was a great saint & philosopher who consolidated the doctrine of Advaita Vedanta, a sub-school of Vedanta. His teachings are based on the unity of the soul and Brahman, in which Brahman is viewed as without attributes. He hailed from Kalady of present day Kerala. Sankara travelled across India and other parts of South Asia to propagate his philosophy through discourses and debates with other thinkers. He founded four mathas (monasteries), which helped in the historical development, revival and spread of Advaita Vedanta. Adi Sankara is believed to be the organizer of the Dasanami monastic order and the founder of the Shanmata tradition of worship.
His works in Sanskrit concern themselves with establishing the doctrine of Advaita (Non-dualism). He also established the importance of monastic life as sanctioned in the Upanishads and Brahma Sutra, in a time when the Mimamsa school established strict ritualism and ridiculed monasticism. Sankara represented his works as elaborating on ideas found in the Upanishads, and he wrote copious commentaries on the Vedic Canon (Brahma Sutra, Principal Upanishads and Bhagavadgita) in support of his thesis. The main opponent in his work is the Mimamsa school of thought, though he also offers some arguments against the views of some other schools like Samkhya and certain schools of Buddhism that he was partly familiar with.
The Works of Sri Sankaracharya [Memorial Edition], 20 volumes published in 1910 by Sri Vani Vilas Press, Srirangam, remains to this day the standard collection of the complete works of Sri Sankaracharya. It includes Sri Sankaracharya's major commentaries as well as his other works, as given in the list below.
1. Brahmasutra-bhashya
2. Brahmasutra-bhashya
3. Brahmasutra-bhashya
4. Upanishad-bhashya, vol. 1: Isa, Kena [2], Katha, Prasna
5. Upanishad-bhashya, vol. 2: Mundaka, Mandukya, Aitareya
6. Upanishad-bhashya, vol. 3: Taittiriya, Chhandogya 1-3
7. Upanishad-bhashya, vol. 4: Chhandogya 4-8
8. Upanishad-bhashya, vol. 5: Brihadaranyaka 1-2
9. Upanishad-bhashya, vol. 6: Brihadaranyaka 3-4
10. Upanishad-bhashya, vol. 7: Brihadaranyaka 5-6, Nrisimhapurvatapani
11. Bhagavad-Gita-bhashya, vol. 1: chaps. 1-9
12. Bhagavad-Gita-bhashya, vol. 2: chaps. 10-18
13. Vishnusahasranama and Sanatsujatiya Bhashyas
14. Vivekachudamani, Upadeshasahasri
15. Miscellaneous Prakaranas vol. 1: Aparokshanubhuti, etc. [7 works]
16. Miscellaneous Prakaranas vol. 2: Prabodhasudhakara, etc. [25 works]
17. Stotras, vol. 1 [30 works]
18. Stotras, vol. 2 [35 works, plus Lalita Trisatistotra Bhashya]
19. Prapanchasara, vol. 1
20. Prapanchasara, vol. 2
There are thus a total of 118 works, counting the two Kena Upanishad bhashyas separately, in this collection. Both Indian and Western scholars agree that many of these works must have been written by later Sankaracharyas rather than the original or
Adi Sankaracharya. But there is no agreement on which ones are genuinely his. Moreover, there are many other texts attributed to Sankaracharya that are not found in this collection, some of which may have been written by Adi Sankaracharya. So it is not a definitive collection of his writings. Nor does it lay any claim to being a critical edition. Its readings can often be improved by comparison with other printed editions and manuscripts. It is
simply the standard collection we have at present.

ReplyDeleteI am still not able to locate "Volume 14" of this set. If anyone happens to have a pdf or hard copy of "Volume 14 of Works of Sri Sankaracharya" 1910 edition published by Sri Vani Vilas Press, Srirangam, I request him/her to share it with me. I will be really grateful to anyone who could help me in this matter.

Anpazhagan,
ReplyDeleteScholars are of varying opinions when it comes to Sankaracharya. Even the Sankaravijaya texts contradict each other on many occasions. So, it is not easy to say anything conclusively about Sankaracharya's life or works.
Still, I am interested in knowing the name of the book in which Belvalkar discusses this subject. Please provide the details.
All this vaolume are in hindi or wich?
ReplyDeleteThanks shankara for the great work.

ReplyDeleteCan you please guide me where I can get authentic literal translation of works of Adi Shankarachaya (from Samskrit to Hindi) without author's own view.Please help me.Hope you will reply soon.
I have not studied Hindi translations of Sankaracharya works thoroughly. So, I cannot give you first hand opinion about them. Gita Press has published Hindi translation of most of Sankaracharya's works. Their publications are considered authentic. You can buy any one text and see for yourself if it suits your purpose.
DeleteI have not come across nay other Hindi translations of Sankaracharya's works.
Awesome compilation, lucky to have landed here when searching Vani Vilas press related work which I dint find though
DeleteRaji Ranganathan, let me know if you are looking for any particular publication of Vani Vilas. I will try to help you locate it.
DeleteI am searching for books compiled by my grandfather which was published by Vani Vilas press years ago, if you could help I will be grateful. I found few in circulation and hence came to know ; was not aware of the actual publications until now.
DeleteIn the search, came across the open library from Vani Vilas press for download of choicest few books...just in case someone likes any.

ReplyDeletesri adi shankarar ...
i would like to know every work - all the work mentioned above by sri shankarar are available in Tamil in PDF verson
It is a monumental effort. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteA very good effort. There was a great need for such a compilation. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThis is indeed a wonderful collection of knowledge and a great job. To pass on this knowledge to current generation and to those who don't understand sanskrit, is there a english or kannada translation available for these 21 volumes ? Please share.
ReplyDeleteHari Om,
ReplyDeleteCan I get English or Kannada translation without author's interpretation for these works of Sadguru
Where can I find the English translation of 8th to 19th cantos of Kumarasambhavam.Please suggest me a link on urgent basis for a project.
ReplyDeleteThank You
William Jones translation of Kumarasambhava is available at https://archive.org/details/Works_of_Kalidasa_English_Translation_William_Jones
DeleteGot it... Thank You so much..
DeleteCan you please tell me what is the exact date The Kumarasambhava was written.. ?
DeleteSanskrit historians are of different opinion in this matter. Some date Kalidasa to 1st century BCE, while some others say he lived in 4th or 5th century CE. For a detailed study of this subject, you may read 'Kalidasa His Period, Personality and Poetry' by KS Ramaswami Sastri. http://dli.serc.iisc.ernet.in/handle/2015/80705
DeleteSir can you please guide me english book on Bharathari
ReplyDeleteGreat job.
ReplyDeleteSir please tell which one is advait vedanta
ReplyDeleteAbhinav Singh, Sankaracharya's commentaries on Brahmasutra, Upanishads and Gita are considered the main pillars of Advaita Vedanta.
DeleteHello Sir,
ReplyDeletePlease help me find the Sandhis applied in the whole cantos of the Kumarasambhava,according to the characteristics of a Mahakavya.
And also please suggest where can I find detailed explaination of the characters of Kumarasambhava.
You may post your query at BV Parishat Google group or Samskrita Google group. Scholars of these groups will be able to guide you in this matter.
ReplyDeletehttps://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/bvparishat
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/samskrita
do they also coach Sanskrit grammar for exams like kovida of Bharathiya Vidya bhavan
DeleteBV Parishat and Samskrita Google groups are discussion forums. If you post a query at these forums, the members of the forum might provide information on courses on Sanskrit grammar available at Universities and other institutions.
DeleteOK, thanks!!!
DeleteWill try
It helped me, thanks much. Joined few courses as well.
DeleteNamaste Sir,
ReplyDeleteI am looking for a prakarna by Adi Shankara titled "Bala bodha Sangraham" - a work in guru-sishya format compiled by His Holiness for explaining Advaitha Vedantha to children. I looked in the Miscellaneous Prakarna volumes but wasn't able to find it in them. Could you please help me find it? It is apparently a small work only. It is mentioned in "Deivathin Kural" of Kanchi Mahaswami.
Thank you.
Sanskrit text of Balabodhasangraha is available at http://sanskritdocuments.org/doc_z_misc_shankara/bAlabodhasangraha.html?lang=hi

DeleteNamo namah.
dear shankara
ReplyDeleteplease i want to read some books of lord sankaracharyaji. but all are in english so can you provide in hindi version??
i am waiting for your answer!!!
Praveen Pareek,
DeleteI have added links to Sankaracharya's commentaries on Bhagavad Gita, ten principal Upanishads and Brahmasutra in addition to Viveka Chaudamani. I will try to add Hindi translations of other works of Sankaracharya later depending on their availability in the open domain.
Very nice. Is there any recommended classes conducted for Vivekachoodamani or Vedantha by scholars which one can follow or attend to.
ReplyDeleteViveka Chuddamani discourses by well known Vedanta teachers are available on the internet. See for example the following link.
Deletehttps://archive.org/search.php?query=Vivekachudamani%20by%20Parmarthananda
If you wish to attend the classes physically, you may enquire at nearest centres of Chinmaya Mission or Sri Ramakrishna Math.
Thanks. yes I have explored online Chinmaya mission courses already, just that in person courses are more effective in such topics from scholars who have mastered. Was looking for possibility in Bangalore or online by any such exponents
DeleteCan I get Brahma Sutra Bhashyam in tamil transliteration as I find it hard to read Sanskrit
ReplyDeleteRamesh
Bangalore
You can make use of the following link to get Tamil transliteration of Brahmastura Sankarabhahsya.
