As a staunch proponent of non-dualism, he went on spiritual expeditions with his disciples, all over the Indian mainland. Consolidating the principles of Advaita Vedanta (non-dualism), his substantial works stand out from the other Vedanta texts. Shankara Acharya, better known as "Adi Shankara", was an 8th century AD Hindu philosopher and Vedic scholar. Bhaja Govindam, widely accepted as the essence of the Vedanta is often called "Moha Mudgara" (remover of delusions). Then Shankara finished it with 4 more verses of his own. The first 12 verses were composed by Shankara himself the next 15 by his 14 disciples. This is one of the smallest works of Shankara Acharya, with just 31 verses.
