vicharvan

There are many schools of thougt- in Shaivism and Vaishnavism. So be clear exactly which you are reffering to. Hindu practise and belief is mostly based on ones own revealings inside oneself. All other material puts before you the earlier Apaurusheyas. So there need not be any anger over the matter. Even as our family is a cohesive whole- Lord Narayana and Lord shiva and others are a cohesive whole- and neccessarily there is going to be some idea of supremacy of some to correlate the revealed texts.
