The first and original Shankara is Lord Shiva - the Adi Shankara. Shankara in his lifetime was referred to as Acharya Shree. anon_astute_ff wrote: Pardon... but how do you know this for sure? One of my teachers, Swami Prakashanand Saraswati, a direct desciple of Guru Dev, told me so. He's a pundit and a bhakta - very learned. Are you suggesting it is incorrect to refer to Shankara as Adi Shankara? No, not if you're a scholar or an author, but if you're a devotee, you'd refer to the master as Acharya Shree or Guru Dev, and reserve the Adi for Lord Shiva, the original Shankara. Most likely, devotees during Shankaracharya's lifetime would have addressed him as 'Shree' using their native language, probably a dialect of Malayam.
