In this book, we will explore the remarkable story of a man who, more than a millennium ago, left an indelible mark on Indian philosophy, spirituality, and culture. 
    Adi Shankaracharya, often referred to simply as Shankara, was a luminary of the 8th century CE. His teachings and profound insights into the nature of reality continue to influence countless minds, transcending the boundaries of time and geography.

    We'll delve into the key events of his life, from his early education in the Vedic scriptures to his decision to renounce worldly life and become a monk. We'll follow him on his travels across the length and breadth of India as he spread his teachings, engaged in philosophical debates, and founded monastic institutions.

    Two words saved my life, two modest, but mighty words—THANK YOU! The most compelling chapter of my story began with a Love Note, one simple handwritten gesture of love, hope and gratitude. 
    My purpose was handed to me in the shape of an envelope, a simple, paper container with a sealable flap that holds a little bit of hope for our everyday heroes. As it turned out, a life of stationery was my destiny, not a stationary life. And it all began on the heels of a broken heart. 
    For the better part of my life, I dreamed of and even prayed for an epic love story, and this is a love story on so many levels. I just never expected it to come at such a great toll. But then again, if you look back through the course of history, the greatest love stories always do. 
    Natalie June Reilly is a freelance writer and every bit her mother's daughter. She is the founder of Nothing but Love Notes, a movement that has inspired a generation of love and gratitude. Somewhere along the way, she unearthed her happy ending, landing the beach, the boy and now the book. None of this would have been possible, if not for God's grace, a mother's love and a handwritten Love Note.
