Vishwakarma and his descendants by Alfred Edward Robert chapter number 3 please read it This book written in 1904 is an honest account but all the books considered by Wikipedia as evidence are from 2000 eras and they are all written with the intention of making Jagad Guru a Namboothiri Brahmin, therefore taking the history written by Alfred Edward Robert as a proof, pleads that Jagad Guru's caste should be Vishwa Brahmin.

You are very right, this is a history written before the Namboothiris in Kerala walked in sandals, it was in 1904 but the histories considered by Wikipedia today are all from 2000 onwards. All of them were written only to depict Jaganguru Adi Shankaracharya as a Namboothiri Brahmin. Even the period of life given by them is different. When there is a dispute between two parties, historical articles written by a third party outside India should be checked. Vipin Babu lumia (talk) 14:21, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Adi Shankaracharya cast
Jagad Guru Adi Shankaracharya is a Mushari Brahmin of Vishwa Brahmin sect. It is mentioned in a book written in 1904 about the series of Vishwakarma that during the times when Jagad Guru Adi Shankaracharya lived, the titles of Brahmashree and Jagad Guru were entitled to the Vishwa Brahmin category which means that only technical wise Brahmins were chosen for such things. .Wikipedia checked the historical documents written since 2001 and made him a Namboothiri Brahmin. All such histories were written in India where he was intended to be a Namboothiri Brahmin and all of them belonged to the Brahmin community in India. But Alfred Edward Robert wrote this history in a country outside India in 1904. . I believe Wikipedia will correct this error. Adi Shankaracharya is a person who lived before Christ. None of the Namboothiri Brahmins of Kerala ever accept him as a Namboothiri Brahmin. Vipin Babu lumia (talk) 15:31, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Jagatguru aadi Shankaracharya surname
Jagad Guru Adi Shankaracharya's full name is Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya During the times when Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya lived, only Vishwa Brahmins were entitled to use the title of Jagad Guru or Brahmashree in Maharajya India. But modern historians have corrected it and made him a Nambutiri Brahmin, that's why Wikipedia doesn't add Jagadguru in front of his name? In India, the Vishwa Brahmin community addresses him as Jagad Guru Athyana Shankaracharya. Vipin Babu lumia (talk) 14:46, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I read your reply. The history written in the royal period which you say is obsolete is the true history. But all the histories written in the modern period are made by distorting the history written in the royal period. Does Wikipedia say that all the writings in the royal periods are wrong? 2409:4073:114:CAD4:EE0B:E647:C8D0:DCA2 (talk) 09:08, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The articles written about the Ashari community in the Wikipedia pages are all written in the Emperor period, why they were accepted by Wikipedia and rejected by me as writings from the Emperor period. 2409:4073:114:CAD4:EE0B:E647:C8D0:DCA2 (talk) 09:12, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Under the section "Early life" the birth place is cited as Kaladi, which is not correct. Shankara was born at Veliyanad, in Ernakulam district. He has born in his mother's ancestral home called "Melpazhur Mana". It is also said that he had his vidyarambha(initiation to formal education) and upanayana(thread ceremenony)
level-3 vital article is rated GA-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.
