Adi Shankaracharya’s Curse To Nambudiri Brahmanas.
<p>Let's talk about a <em>Sanyasi</em> and when his elder brother comes to meet him, there might be a dilemma whether to do <em>pranam</em> or not! Their Dharma will tell them to revere me (for the position of <em>Sanyasi</em>). But let’s say if his mother is alive and she comes to meet him then what? The highest position in this world is available to <em>Brahmana</em>, then to a <em>Dandi Swami</em>, then to <em>Shankaracharya</em>.</p>
<p>Now with their mother, it would be his responsibility to fall at her feet and greet her. It is prescribed “<em>Danda</em>” of a <em>Sanyasi</em> cannot bow to even the lower <em>Devi-Devata</em>s. “<em>Danda</em>” contains a lot of power of this universe and can bow only to prescribe <em>Devi-Devata</em>s as per scripture. But it is our responsibility that if the mother comes then even <em>Shankaracharya</em>s are bound to bow down. I am saying after listening to this order from <em>Acharya.</em></p>
