Why Vasishta Not Found In South , Shiva Left Dravida?

,as Vasishta left along with Shiva at the time of Tsunami there are minimal references to Vasishta in the South.

By the time they returned to india, and Vasishta had become the Kula Guru of Ikshvaku Dynasty, years had gone by.

In the south the other progeny of Shiva, Subrahmanya, called as Murugan in Tamil spread Santana Dharma in South East Asia and developed the Santana dharma further in the south.

That is the reason one finds the Murugan is identified with Tamil and Shiva being treated as the Adhi Siddha and as 'Ancient of the Ancients'

Intellectual Bhakti Kalidasa’s Genius Vagarthaviva

One is Bhakthi tinged with Reason and Intellectual approach.

Another is total emotional immersion in the Love of God.

And example of an intellectual bhakti may be discerned in Kalidas's first sloka of Raghuvamsa , which set about describing the Dynasty of Lord Rama.

Curiously the work that is about to talk about Lord Hari,Vishnu , begins with a Sloka on Lord Shiva and Parvathi.

This is the sloka.

The genius of Kalidasa lies in that this poem is open for Twenty Five meanings!
