Explanation:

Adi Shankaracharya was a prominent Bhakti Saint from Kerala, who preached the philosophy of Non – Dualism (Advaitavada). According to it, the creator (God) and the created (man – soul) are not two but one. But they appear distinct because of ‘Maya’(Illusion.) Maya is because of Agyanta which can only be removed through Vedic Knowledge. Then only one can realize God.
The followers of Shankaracharya were called Gyanmargis.
