Then Shankaracharya dates back to between 4300-4000 BC!
But the Bhakti Literature mentions Gnana Sambhanda around 7 Century AD when Tirunavukkasar is mentioned as a contemporary of Sambanda.
This is supported by to other evidence in Tamil.
So Shankaracharya' date may be after 7 Century AD.
Now to the view that Shankaracharya did not establish the four Mutts.
