Shiva And Vishnu Advice To Each Others Devotees

Some go the extent of saying that , for a Vaishnavite, visiting Shiva's Temple is equivalent to getting afflicted with Brahmahathi Dosha!

This was sent to me by a Vaishnavite friend of Mine, I am more ofa Vaishnavite in terms of understanding Their sampraday as I am from Srivilliputtur, and sent a detailed reply quoting the Vedas and Purans.

The gentleman who said so, I was informed grinned sheepishly and told my friend,

"Who is going to read all this?'

I am passing on what is being practiced, it is good for us!'

I have recently posted articles on Siva Stuthi by Krishna and Vishnu Stuthi By Shiva.

Let me quote from Srimad Bhagatham, the greatest Puran among all the Purans as it speaks of the Devotees of Lord Vishnu.

It is the greatest among the Purans as the Devotee is Greater that the God.

Krishna’s Conch Sudarshan Chakra In Afghanistan

In yet another confirmation of the fact that Lord Krishna was Real and not an Imaginary figure, cons containing Lord Krishna on the one side Balarama on the other, in Al Khanoun Afghanistan.
A lot of numismatic evidence also corroborates the antiquity of Krishna. For instance, excavations at Ai-Khanum, along the border of Afghanistan and the Soviet Union, conducted by P. Bernard and a French archeological expedition, unearthed six rectangular bronze coins issued by the Indo-Greek ruler Agathocles (180?-?165 BC). The coins had script written in both Greek and Brahmi and, most interestingly, show an image of Vishnu, or Vasudeva, carrying a Chakra and a pear-shaped vase, or conchshell, which are two of the four main sacred symbols of God in Vaisnavism.
