Jai Shri HariHar ๐๐ป๐๐ป Those who do not understand or refuse to understand should know that there is no difference between Lord Shiva and Shri Vishnu. Shiva works for the benefit of everyone, and tries to help the living beings make spiritual advancement. This is also why he says, “Any person who is surrendered to Shri Vishnu is very dear to me." The sons of the King Pracinibarhi were going to practice austerities to worship Shri Vishnu and while searching for a suitable place happened to find Lord Shiva. Shiva is the protector of the pious and those of gentle behaviour. So he was pleased to speak to the princes. “A person who is directly surrendered to Shri Vishnu, in unalloyed devotional service is immediately promoted to the spiritual planets. You are all devotees of Shri Vishnu. I know in this way that the devotees also respect me and that I am dear to them. Thus no one can be as dear to the devotees as I am.” In this way, a devotee of Shri Vishnu does not disrespect Lord Shiva, but worships him as the greatest of gods. Shri Vishnu bhakta not only prays to Lord Shiva, but asks Shiva to assist him in attaining the favour of Shri Narayana , and not merely for material benefits. As we find in the Tulasi Ramayana, Lord Rama says “With joined palms I lay before you another secret doctrine: without adoring Lord Shiva, man cannot attain devotion to Me.” So in this way, Shiva can assist us in attaining devotion to Shri Vishnu and His Avatars!!
