Yu can't speak for a Shaivite
"Shiva" is the grace bestowing power of God.
"Shiva" is the the one who destroys ignorance and bestows Divine Grace, per the Shaivite.
"Shiva" drank the poison which arose at the creation of the World to save Creation.
It's a principle, not a person.
And yes it's comparable to the "Christ Principle"
"I believe in Faith and No faith is better than another"
"And the Christians have been treated poorly"
Why become annoyed at other people's faiths.
?
People should pay attention to themselves instead of watching others? Isn't that what Jesus the Great Teacher taught. Looking at the mote int the other guy's eye? When there is a beam in your own?
Or was that a mistranslation?
