Shankaracharya Hill in Srinagar



My FB post on 22nd Feb 2020

After decades of darkness, Shankaracharya temple in Srinagar was lit up. 

The hill itself is called Shankaracharya Hill. Leftist Liberals prefer to call it Takht-e-Suleiman. Of course. 

We are Vaishnavites and do not celebrate any of the shaivite festivals, but my father always said no one has served India in the last 2000 years like Adi Shankara did. 
Hinduism was almost wiped off this land and Buddhists and atheists were running amok, scoffing and smirking at the vedas, when Adi Shankara turned all that around. Without using a single weapon! 

Muslims have finished off Hinduism in all of Kashmir but the temple to Adi Shankara, the saviour of Hinduism, stands firm atop a hill, proclaiming silently that Hinduism is here to stay!
