In Bhagavath Geetha Lord Krishna Says
Rudraanaam Sankaraschaasmi
The commentators (allmost all) said there are 11 Rudras (sivas) among them, Lord Sankara is the best.
Any opinion on this??

Namaste Ramkish,
shaMkara is exactly synonymous with shiva.
Among the Rudras I am Shankara (Rudra-Shiva, the Lord of all Rudrah).
Among the Yakshas and Rakshas I am Kubera (the Lord of all Yakshas and Rakshas).
Among the Bright Ones (i.e. the Vasus) I am their Brilliance (i.e. Indra or Agni or Surya ~ the Lord of all Adityas).
Among the Mountains I am Meru (the Lord of all Mountains).
I read some where here, probably I think, your posting describing Chatuspada, in which Aja Ekapada, one rudra, is exolted as ultimate truth.Originally Posted by Shri Sharabhanga
This does not corroborate with you phrase, Rudra Shiva, the lord of all Rudrah
Further I want to read your opinions on Rudra as descrbed by Advaitin and Saiva Siddhanta, hence I raised query on 11 Rudras
I had requested this in earlier posting of mine, however, want to reiterate here too.
Is there by any chance, I get a indication that a reply was posted to the thread to which I am part of

Namaste Ramkish,
Aja Ekapad IS Rudra Shiva ~ and Shiva Shankara is the Lord of all Rudrah.
The Rudrah are innumerable, and the Vedas give their number as 11.
The Mahabharata names the eleven as: Mrgavyadha, Sharva, Nirrti, Ajaikapad, Ahirbudhnya, Pinakin, Dahana, Ishvara, Kapalin, Sthanu, and Bhava.
The Harivamsha names the eleven as: Hara, Vahrupa, Tryambaka, Aparajita, Vrshakapi, Shambhu, Kapardin, Raivata, Mrgavyadha, Sarpa, and Kapalin.
The Matsyapurana names the eleven as: Ajaikapad, Ahirbudhnya, Viupaksha, Raivata, Hara, Vahurupa, Tryambaka, Savitra, Jayanta, Pinakin, and Aparajita.

Further your goodself has added more contradictions.
1. You say "The Rudrah are innumerable, and the Vedas give their number as 11." When Veda says 11, there is no point in you saying it is innumerable
2. My query of Aja Ekapada being exolted as ultimate truth is not answered
3. name do vary, I understand
http://www.astrojyoti.com/11rudras.htm is one thing I found online. However, I understand, Saata is also a rudra, which is missing in the list
Request you to clarify me as I am weak in Shaiva
Namaste Ramkish,
1. The stars are innumerable, and their number is 12
2. Aja Ekapad IS the ultimate Truth.
3. There are hundreds of Rudrah named in the Vedas.
1. Number of stars is not twelve but group of stars visible from earth, call them zodiac, is twelve. Our religion agrees with the view that there are more number of invisible stars from earth, for that fact, we agree that there are many brahmaandaas in which such innumerable stars will be thereOriginally Posted by sarabhanga
2. This does not corroborate with the view that Sankara being treated as king of all rudras. This seems cyclic - if Aja Ekapad is ultimate truth then he should be the king, if Shankara is king then this means Aja Ekapad is subject of the king, hence cannot be ultimate truth
3. Correction. There are hundreds of names of rudrah mentioned in veda and not hundred of rudrah named. Sytle of language, I think, here makes a lot of difference
Hi Satay,
By the way, I had requested for instant email notification, still not mails are coming to my inbox. How shall I proceed
hmm...this is a feature of the software. Okay, let me test it myself and get back to you.Originally Posted by ramkish42

Namaste Ramkish,
Aja Ekapad IS Rudra : Rudra IS Shiva : Shiva IS Shankara.
The Aja Ekapad IS the Shankara!
There is only one rudra; and there are many rudrAH.
The one Rudra in truth remains unnamed; and there are hundreds of Rudrah (aspects of Rudra) actually named in the Vedas.
