So, Shaiviate of dvaita origin will have to prove that Shiva is paramatma and Vishnu is a jeevatma or Shiva's Shakti to defend their philosophy. Similarly, Vaishnavites need to prove that Shiva is just a jeeva to firmly prove their philosophical position. Can you show me a single school that preached dvaita or dvaita-advaita, without either a Vishnu or a Shiva bias? There is none, and they wont be taken seriously. Monothesim, by very defintion requires a particular diety to be the supreme and the controller of all others - whether it be Yahweh, Allah, Vishnu or Shiva. Some followers of monotheism get greatly attached to this supreme concept of God, and get overwhelmingly devoted and win their liberation. Some others misunderstand things, they end up abusing the religion, and thrive by snubbing others who dont beleive in their God and so on...the religion of Monotheism is not at fault, the fault is in the followers who have failed to read into the strong message of total faith that lies embedded in Monotheism.(Bhakti and grace is much more emphasised in Monotheism than Monism for obvious reasons)
Please give a good justification for such guesses. Are you trying to say that Acharya's work was just contrived? And he did not even beliieve in what he was establishing? Are you trying to say that Sri Ramanuja did not beleive in Vishnu sarvottama and yet he proved it in his works. Looks like a speculation. On what reasoning can you base such claims?
Please dont write irrelevant stuff that nobody will beleive in. Please answer properly.
