One aspect of our Hindu society that I am intrigued about is the role of the Shankaracharya. What role does he play, how much in line with the scriptures is his role?
Is it a social mandate or a mandate by scriptures?
Why is it that one finds no mention of a Shankaracharya in the Ramayan and Mahabharat?
How authoritative is the voice of the Shankaracharya in Hindu society?
