[Advaita-l] Shankara authenticates Shiva as the son of Brahma

[Ramachandra Achar]

There is no question of Shiva is supreme or Vishnu is supreme.
Satcchidaananda swarupam Shivoham shivoham.l myself Lord Shiva.

Sat-chit-ananda is not male or female God to argue who is supreme.It is
just inert consciousness which pervades whole universe.

That is it....
