The PM Shri #narendramodi visited kalady-Adishankarcharya birth place on Shankara jayanthi Day on 25th April 2023 Tuesday Adi Shankaracharya was born in Kalady, where you can still find temples where his mother prayed. Sringeri Mutt now stands at the place and the place is called Adi Shankara Janam Kshetra, #kalady literally means footprints. It is believed that Poorna or the Periyar river used to flow some distance away from the river. Once young Shankara’s mother fainted while walking to the river and he prayed to Krishna. Pleased by the child’s devotion and faith, Krishna blessed him that river will follow his footprints. This is how he brought the river to the village. It continues to live on the banks of Periyar or Poorna.
The Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, visited Sri Adi Shankara Janma Bhoomi Kshetram, the holy birthplace of Adi Shankaracharya, at Kalady village in Kochi today.
