PM Modi Unveils Adi Shankaracharya Statue, Know About The Saint?

Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated a 12-foot statue of Adi Guru Shankaracharya at the premises of the Kedarnath temple in Uttarakhand on Friday. The statue of Adi Shankaracharya was rebuilt after it was damaged in the 2013 Uttarakhand floods. The statue was built with the effort of nine artisans, including Mysore-based artist Arun Yogiraj and it took one year for them to complete it.

 

Narendra Modi in his speech at the Kedarnath said that, “There was a time when spirituality and religion were believed to be associated only with stereotypes. But, Indian philosophy talks about human welfare, sees life in a holistic manner. Adi Shankaracharya worked to make society aware of this truth.”
