I do not believe Siva would not bless a Vaishnava, or that Vishnu would not bless a Saiva. But I do believe that each, as an aspect of God Eternal Spirit, has their particular work. Siva to destroy what is false so that the true may be born, Vishnu to preserve the original virilities of our primordial beginnings ... etc. Similarly, while Jesus is the door to the Father, I cannot believe that Jesus would not lead a devoted Hindu to the Father, regardless of what name he calls the Father.
