    PS: I am not questioning your calibre, so kindly do not misunderstand my first statement in this post...
    You have every right to question my calibre; it is your inalienable right.

    Why would the Shri Gods, the most high, worry about who we, as mere humans, see as supreme? Why do we divide amongst ourselves, from sister to brother, from mother to father, from cousin to friend? Is it so hard to unify ourselves under the indisputable authority of the Four Vedas? To unite as one with common prayers and oblations and be of one mind, of similar accord?
    Highest Pranam-s,

    Human nature

    Half glass filled, half glass empty

    The way we perceive it.

    When someone interprets veda-s, the explanation is more of author's understanding than the revelation of veda-s themselves. Hence different people interpret shruti-s in different ways.

    Jai Shri Ram Anirudh ji,

    correction

    #1. All roads (as prescribed by shastra-s) leads to Rome (moksha).

    If VA suits you, go ahead and good luck.

    Here is an explanation by Shankaracharya Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Swamiji of Shringeri Math

    I had an interesting discussion with Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Swamiji of Sri Sringeri Mutt, who is my Guru, about 40 years back.

    I asked him that if The Veda is the Ultimate Authority, and if all the three Acharyas have taken the same three Mahavakyas to found their systems, why there is a difference in their conclusions?

    He replied,

    Acharyas know that the dispositions of the Individuals vary.

    You will be able to follow things that suits your Nature.And as the Vedas say the Truth is One, but it is spoken of as Many’

    (Ekam Sat Vipra bahudha vadanti)

    Therefore the Acharyas have provided different approaches to reach God.

    One may follow any of these.

    There is no question of what is Right and What is Wrong.

    That is left to reason, which is useless in Spiritual Development.

    You follow what suits you and do not bother.

    You are here to realize Brahman, not to prove One is Right and another is wrong”

    Of these three approaches, Vaishnavism places importance on The Bhakti Yoga. The Path of Devotion.

    The path of devotion is the total surrender to God.

    Ramanuja systematized the Bhakti Yoga and popularised the Pancharatra system.

    There are both views. According to one all the Gods are equal, and another view is that Gods are not equal. In Rig Veda also we can see both views are supported.

    Namaste IS Amrutji,

    correction
    I was not comparing the Shaakaas of Sanaatana Dharma but was comparing Sanaatana Dharma with Abrahamic religions.

    The very existence of more than one (well accepted) philosophical findings of the same text is a proof that equality among the pantheon of Sanaatana Dharma Gods is an on going debate.

    I stop at that point because my knowledge is limited as on date.

    Re: Mahapashupatastra blog

    Nice blog !

    There is no any difference between vishnu and shiva . Rama himself says in ramayana " Those who worship me and don't worship shiva as well as those who worship shiva and don't worship vishnu , can not attain me (bramhan) ever ."

    Vishnu and shiva are the manifestations of bramhan .So they are not different at all .
    To discard the view of people who consider the duality between the god as a real thing , Upanishadas say " Those who see any diversity in bramhan goes from the cycle of birth and death again and again . "
