In comparison between Rama and Krishna. while Rama was aware of Himself as Brahman occasionally, Krishna was all the time aware of it and He, like Shiva did not need to Realize Himself.
And Krishna's Children were killed and He was left with no progeny, consequent to Gandhari's Curse.
However Shiva Gotra is found among communities other than Brahmins for it had been a practice to denote Shiva as the Father when one is unable to trace the ancestry.
I relate to God a s Human Being till I spiritually evolve to know that He is a Principle.
Till then I shall treat Him as my Father, Mother, Brother, Teacher, Lover and Friend.
The Path of Devotion called Bhakti Marga is this.
One gets engrossed in the emotion of god and gets spiritually elated.
In Tamil literature there are poems belonging to the Middle Ages, around 1200 -1400 extolling this aspect of Bhakthi, propagated by Azhwars( of Vishnu) and Nayanmaras( of Shiva)
Each temple in India is associated with the activity of God a Human Being and there are temple festivals relating to them, when these events are enacted.
