A Shankaracharya is a title used for the heads of matha (monasteries) in the Advaita tradition. Shankaracharya Swami Divyanand Teerthji is the 11th successor of the Bhanpura Holy Peeth. He was born in Nagaland, India.
Shankaracharyaji is revered for his profound and deep commentaries on the Holy Scriptures. At the age of 27, he had a desire to understand the mysteries behind life and death.
