New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said that no words are enough to do justice to the monumental contribution of the great Adi Shankaracharya towards preserving our culture.

"No words are enough to do justice to the monumental contribution of the great Adi Shankaracharya towards preserving our culture. In Kedarnath today, I had the honour of dedicating to the nation the Shri Adi Shankaracharya Samadhi," PM Modi tweeted.

एक समय था जब आध्यात्म को, धर्म को केवल रूढ़ियों से जोड़कर देखा जाने लगा था।

लेकिन, भारतीय दर्शन तो मानव कल्याण की बात करता है, जीवन को पूर्णता के साथ, holistic way में देखता है।
