On the status of demigods

Dear friends,

In the madhva tradition also, narayana is considered to be the

supreme being. Indra, Shiva, Ganesha etc. are only considered

jivatmas. Still, they are offered worship. (I am not certain

about the details, but it seems that these gods are

given greater importance in the madhva tradition than in ours.)

Despite this, there is no confusion about who the supreme lord

is.

 

I wonder why we resolve the status of demi-gods differently

from the madhvas. Any philosophical/historical explanations?
