 If you came to read this blog and discover who is the supreme between Shiv and Krishn, my friend, you, like many others, have fallen victim to the hate that an English organization and its uneducated monks are trying to spread across our beautiful country. I will also explain at the end why they are spreading this hate but first, allow me to uncover the truth before you.

Before you start reading, I want you to listen to our beloved Premanandji Maharaj.

Presently, a significant controversy surrounds the Vaishnava and Shaiva sects regarding the supremacy between Lord Shiva and Vishnu. Vaishnavas, particularly those affiliated with the English Organisation IS__ON, assert that Shri Krishna (Vishnu) is the greatest, while followers of the Shaivite sect, dedicated to Shiva, proclaim Shiva's greatness. However, it is important to recognize that both Shiva and Vishnu are distinct manifestations of the Parabrahma Paramatma (Superior Energy) or the same divine essence. In various forms, God has engaged in diverse divine activities (leelas) to facilitate our understanding. Throughout every incarnation, Vishnu acknowledges Shiva as adorable, and Shiva reciprocates by considering Vishnu as his adorable (Aaradhya). The creation of the universe spans different kalpas, contributing to Shiva's depiction as superior in the Shiv Puran, while in the Vishnu Puran, Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapuran (Bhagvatam), or Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, Shri Krishna (Vishnu) is portrayed as superior.

Numerous passages in our scriptures emphasize that the Tridev (Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva) represents different manifestations of the same supreme power (ParamBrahm Parmatma). Despite these teachings, some individuals, driven by ignorance, engage in unwarranted discrimination among them. In truth, there is no inherent distinction; it is merely a matter of comprehension. All the deities, embodied as the Tridev, ultimately symbolize the diverse expressions of the same Supreme Brahman.

A similar situation arose a few thousand years ago too, between the Shaiva and the Vaishnava and it was then that Lord Hari and Lord Shiv showed the world their HariHar Roop(form) and showed them that Shiv and Narayan are the same and that their is no difference.

The debate within Hinduism is also between the aesthetic and the householder, between the pure intellect  ( Shiva) and the emotions ( Vishnu), and between the one who abandons the society ( Shiva) and one who incarnates to save the society  (Vishnu). But we did not waste too much time trying to annihilate each others' sect. We assimilated. And we have thrived as a 5000-year-old civilization. 

Now let me give you some verses from some of our scriptures to help you embrace the truth.

1. The initial instance is extracted from Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapuran, a scripture entirely centered on the persona of Shri Krishna. In the 50th verse of Chapter 7 in Canto 4, Shri Hari states___

It means Lord Narayana says that I, Shiva, and Brahma are the ultimate cause of this world. And there is no difference between the three of us.

Similarly, according to the story of Daksha in Shiva Mahapuran, when his head was severed from his torso, he understood that there is no difference between Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu. Therefore, due to this distinction, he got this result.

2. 

It is given in the opening verses of Lankakand of Ramcharitmanas that.

No one else is as dear to me as Siva. Even if someone claims to be my devotee but harbors enmity towards Siva, they cannot reach me, not even in a dream. A person who opposes Sankara (Shiva) and still desires devotion to me is destined for ruin, for such an individual is foolish and lacks wisdom.

Those individuals who, despite their devotion to Sankara (Shiva), harbor animosity towards Me, and conversely, those who are adversaries of Siva but claim to be my devotees, shall reside in the most terrifying hell until the end of creation.

3.

Another example is from Mahabharata____

Harivamsa Parva (2.125.41) of Mahabharata is described as___

The ultimate lord of Rudra (Shiva) is Vishnu, and the supreme lord of Vishnu is Shiva. The same divine entity consistently manifests in the world in these two distinct forms.

4.

Similarly, it is also confirmed in the Harivamsa Parva of Mahabharata (2.125.29), Rishi Markandey says___

I fold my hands in respect to Shiva, in the form of Vishnu, and Vishnu, in the form of Shiva. I do not see any difference between these two, being satisfied with this feeling of mine, may both of them grant me welfare.

5.

Of all the Rudras, I am Lord Siva; of the Yaksas and Rakshasas I am the Lord of Wealth(Kuvera); of the Vasus I am Fire(Agni), and of the mountains I am Meru.

When Lord Krishna himself says that he is Siva, how can you think that by thinking of Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu as two different deities, and differentiating between them on who is superior, you will get Prabhu Kripa(Blessing of God)?

In numerous verses of Chapter 10, God (Krishna) identifies Himself as the cause of all, encompassing entities such as Durga, Ganga, Shiva, Brahma, and more. Essentially, the Parabrahman has engaged in diverse divine activities in various forms. Although our scriptures abound with examples illustrating this unity, some individuals, due to their ignorance, persist in making unwarranted discriminations among them.

I request everyone to stop following some corrupt-minded social media speakers who themselves are gonna face the wrath of God for differentiating between Shiv and Vishnu and are gonna take you too. 

Remember the days when our parents or grandparents(those who were not influenced by social media) introduced us to our deities. They never asked us to differentiate between our Gods and treat them all with the same respect, devotion, and love.

We have forever worshiped, loved, and respected all our Gods with the same devotion. Then why now, under the influence of some corrupt-minded people, have you started discriminating between Shiv and Vishnu? Because of what some people you listen to on social media? Think about it again!

Now let's talk about why an English Organisation and its employee priests are hellbound on proving that Sri Krishna is the greatest?

The English Organization is an organization based out of the US. So naturally all the profits and donations made out of these temples go straight to the US. Every year US makes use of our devotion and enjoys millions in revenues and profits. Anyone who has or has not visited their temples knows that The English Organization only develops temples centering around Shri Krishna. And they have learned how to gather more and more Indian Crowds towards their temple. One of which is proving Sri Krishna as the greatest and the second is, dividing us and our bhakti/devotion towards Shiv and Narayan. As more and more people get divided and start believing that Shri Krishna is supreme, their temples will see more footfalls and as a result, they will receive more donations.

Prabhu ke Bhakton, mark my words, Britishers applied the same principle of divide and rule and ruled over us for many years. They are doing that again, but this time, they have made our religion and faith, their main target!

I request my Hindu Brothers not to become a part of this hatred that they are trying to spread. If you disrespect Shri Krishna, Shiv Ji will never accept you, and if you disrespect Shiv Ji, Shri Krishna will not accept you. Now it is up to you, who you want to follow. Our Tridev or some corrupt-minded employees?

If you think my small effort will be able to remove the poison that is spreading in our country, I would request you to share this on your social media and with your friends and family.
