Rig Veda list only 33 devas, they are all propitiated, worthy off our worship, all other names of gods are derivative from this 33 originals,
Bhagvat Gita; Shree Krishna says Chapter 3.11 devan bhavayatanena te deva bhavayantu vah parasparam bhavayantah sreyah param avapsyatha Chapter 17.4 yajante sattvika devan yaksa-raksamsi rajasah pretan bhuta-ganams canye yajante tamasa janah
The world disappears in him. He is the peaceful, the good, the one without a second.
According to the Garuda Purana, Vayu was born as Maniman daitya, known as Sankara. Madhva is believed to be the third incarnation of Vayu.
Of course, you can take the Padma Purana version about Sankara, but who around here believes the Padma Purana?
If these are both true and Sankara and Madhva are the same person then jalpa ( arguments for the sake of victory over another), would find its greatest enjoyment in personality of Vayu, who has spawned all the dvait vs. advait arguments in the history of time.
Vayu then, should be the predominating deity of the forum. Perhaps in his honor we could sub-title it "hot air".
Namaste Rasa
You have brought in wisdom. That Shankara is Madhava is my understanding that i had once disclosed to Shri Saidevo. To be perfect in the knowledge of dvaita is advaita, IMO. It is a difficult calling when the essence is held as diverse. When the essence is known, one cannot be but the essence.

Om Namah Shivaya
That which is without letters (parts) is the Fourth, beyond apprehension through ordinary means, the cessation of the phenomenal world, the auspicious and the non-dual. Thus Om is certainly the Self. He who knows thus enters the Self by the Self.
