Sect or Denominations Questions
When I began my "official study of Sanata Daharm I remember reading that the four main denominations of Hinduism are: Vaishnavism, Shaivism, Shaktism, and Smartism. The particular piece I was reading stated that the ratio of Vaishnavism to Shaivism is almost 4 to 1 I THINK. Maybe it was 3 or 2 to 1. I have since tried to relocate that statistic but cannot find it anywhere. Does anyone know what the ratio actually is??? Also, just as importantly is WHY??? Why is there so much more Vaishnavism than Shaivism. Any links that may contain this info appreciated. I just wonder it has me curious, esp since I feel so close to Lord Shiva
Thank you
Aum
In whatever way people surrender unto me, I reciprocate with them accordingly.
