The great Adi Sankara was born at Kalady, Kerala, India in the year 686 AD and died in 718 AD. (Some say, he was born in 509 BC and died in 477 BC.)
At the time of Adi Shankara's life, Hinduism began to decline because of the influence of Buddhism and Jainism. Hinduism had become divided into innumerable quarrelsome sects. During his short span of 32 years of life, he extensively travelled on foot to various parts of India to restore the study of Vedas. He held discourses and debates with the leading scholars of all these sects and schools of philosophy to controvert their doctrines. In all his works, he stressed the importance of the Vedas, and his efforts helped Hinduism regain its strength and popularity.

[In Buddhism, karma (Pāli kamma) is strictly distinguished from vipāka, meaning 'fruit' or 'result'. Karma is categorized within the group or groups of cause (Pāli hetu) in the chain of cause and effect, where it comprises the elements of 'volitional activities' (Pali sankhara) and 'action' (Pali bhava) . Any action is understood as creating 'seeds' in the mind that will sprout into the appropriate result (Pāli vipaka) when met with the right conditions. Most types of karmas, with good or bad results, will keep one within the wheel of samsāra, while others will liberate one to nirvāna.[citation needed]
Karma is one of five categories of causation, known collectively as niyama dhammas, the first being kamma, and the other four being utu (seasons and weather) , bīja (heredity, lit. 'seed') , chitta (mind) and dhamma (law, in the sense of nature's tendency to perfect) .]-Wikipedia
