In the age of Kali Yuga there are always battles, distoration of the truth,
etc. This age has been characterised by this and will only get worse !!! Is
there any need to battle ? In fact if one reads the Gita Bhakti yoga is the
highest Yoga. In the 7th and 9th chapters of the Gita there are some very
interesting readings.
The other thing is that Krishna tells us that through mental speculation
you shall never obtain him. It is complete surrender and devational service
that will open your eyes to the Absoluate Knowledge, otherwise the false
ego get's in the way.
If you disagree that is fine by me, I too was in a position like yourself
and argued my point. But one thing that struck me was a person who said to
me, " How can you describe a colour to a blind man, who has never seen
light?" !!! One has to taste and see for themselves.
Shaivites and Vaishnavas there seems to be some kind of a "battle" for
supremecy but this is a waste of time for all concerned. One get's the
reward for worshiping the person you want to as the Gita say's in chapter
7, verse 23.....
Men of small intelligence worship the demigods, and their fruits are
limited and temporary. Those who worship the demigods go to the planets of
the demigods, but My devotees ultimately reach My supreme planet.
It all depends what you want. If one understands Krishna Lila's one can
understand where Lord Shiva fits' in.

Sunil
