See, this is what happens when there is no direction from Guru, Sadhu and sastra. People tend to make things as they go along which is quite common but sad. If you read the sastra carefully and with a Bonofide guru then you will know that the same person who wrote the shiva purana is that same person who wrote the Amala Purana aka the Srimad Bhagavatam. The Srimad Bhagavatam is the essence of all the Puranas. Now that person ofcourse is Vyasadev who is none other then krsna. Now are you saying that Vyasadevs philosophy is messed up? That just means that you are biased and have no knowledge of sastra. Vyasa dev wrote all the sastras but was still unsatisfied(this is to show that without krsna you have nothing) and then his guru Narada Muni instructed him to write the spotless purana which is the ripened fruit of vedic knowledege. Now this is Vyasadev(krsna) who is presenting you with this "messed up philosophy" so why not ask Vyasadev why he is confusing us. Surely to Vaisnavas he is saying something else and to Shaivaites he is saying something else. I guess he is along with you while you are typing and telling you that what these "iskconites" are saying is bogus right? So please reply, I want to know what else Vyasadev is telling you that he isnt telling the rest of us
