That the Vaisnavas os south india take a bath if they visit Siva temple

is probably an overstated untruth.

 

However, i am looking for clarification for what transpired on this

group a week ago. It was asked why Sri Ramanuja was not welcome

at Siva temples and the reply was that Sri Ramanuja had no reason

to go to a Siva temple. I am trying to understand this.

 

Why had Sri Ramachandra a reason to establish the Siva lingam at

Rameshwaram? Why did Chaitanya Mahaprabho make efforts to visit the

Jyotirlingam at Srisailam and was fulfilled by the darshan of

Lord Siva and Mother Parvati?

 

I do not think it can be constued in any way that the supremacy of

LOrd Vishnu is questioned here. It is not that one needs to please all

the Gods becasue offerings to Lord Vishnu satisfies all the Gods, as

stated by Lord Krishna in Bhagavad Gita.

 

But, as the greatest devotee of the Lord Vishnu, what is our relationship

we want to maintain wiht Lord Siva?

Thnaks to all who replied to my question and elaborated on the Vyasadevas shloka

in Bhagavatham which mentions Achyutha as the grreatest of the devaaas and

Shambhu as the greatest of the devotees of this Achyutha.
