Adi Shankaracharya has been a great contributor to the development of the ancient Indian Sanatan tradition and the propagation of Hinduism. He had established four Shankaracharya monasteries in the four corners of India to spread the Indian Sanatan tradition throughout the country. These four monasteries are still promoting and propagating the Sanatan tradition under the leadership of four Shankaracharyas. Adi Shankaracharya's credit for bringing the tradition of monasteries to Hinduism goes to Adi Shankara. Adi Shankaracharya established four monasteries in all four directions of the country.
