Kaladi

Kaladi-the very name is synonymous with that of Adi Sankaracharya, the founder of the Advaita philosophy who was born here in the 8th century AD. Kalady, otherwise a sleepy little village, is visited by thousands of pilgrims today who wish to have a glimpse of the sacred spot where the Acharya is reputed to have been born. The name ‘Kalady’ has a story behind its origin. Once young Sankara’s widowed mother fainted while on her way to the river Poorna. Sankara prayed fervently to Lord Krishna who answered him saying that the river would originate from the point where Sankara’s feet (Kaladi) stood. Even today, it can be seen that the river Poorna takes an unusual turn towards the Sringeri Mutt.
