I hope you know what you just said. I don't really know whether it is appropriate to club Adi Shankaracharya in the same group as Loyola and the others. Shankaracharya is definitely not a third-string benchwarmer by any definition of the word when it comes to Indic traditions and classical Indian Darshana. If you think he is, you don't know what you're talking about...
