[Advaita-l] [advaitin] Re: Fwd: Brahman has no default form; Only contextual form - Varaha Purana

[VTCS Rao]

I agree Bhaskar ji. Also, as we do Yajurvedic Sandhyavandan,  we recite

शिवाय विष्णु रूपाय शिव रूपाय विष्णवे |
शिवस्य हृदयं विष्णुं विष्णोश्च हृदयं शिवः ||
यथा शिवमयो विष्णुरेवं विष्णुमयः शिवः |
यथाsन्तरम् न पश्यामि तथा में स्वस्तिरायुषि|
यथाsन्तरं न भेदा: स्यु: शिवराघवयोस्तथा||

Which emphasizes that there is no difference in the two forms. When we take Veda as Pramana, why to be drifted away from the core philosophy of Advaita.

Best Regards

Hari 🕉

Thus, the entire Mahabharata including the Bhagavadgita, the Anugita, Moksha dharma, along with vaishnava dharma shastra, by the method of 'viśeṣadhvani', ('unique/emphatic purport') is upholding the supremacy of Shiva alone. Such is the way Bhagavan Veda Vyasa has composed the MB. This fact has been firmly established (by us) in this work:  'Bhārata sāraga sangraha stotram'.

I don’t know whenever I read these type of statements whether shiva para or vishNu para reminds me mere ‘anger tales’ by some fanatic fans!!  Do we really need to belittle visuNu to prove the supremacy of shiva or do we really need to depict shiva in a bad light to prove the supremacy of vishNu??  When, as an advaitin, we have the firm conviction that driving force behind shiva & vishNu is one and the same.

Hari Hari Hari Bol!!!
