The title of Shankaracharya, used by heads of certain monasteries in India, is derived from his name. Adi Shankara, also called Adi Shankaracharya (Sanskrit: आदि शङ्कर, आदि शङ्कराचार्य, romanized: Ādi Śaṅkara, Ādi Śaṅkarācārya, lit. 'First Shankaracharya',[note 1] pronounced [aːdɪ ɕɐŋkɐraːtɕaːrjɐ]),[note 2] was an 8th-century[note 3] Indian Vedic scholar and teacher (acharya).[4] His works present a harmonizing reading of the sastras, with liberating knowledge of the self at its core, synthesizing the Advaita Vedanta teachings of his time.[5][web 1]
