Saivacharya scluptures from Orissa and other parts of the country (5-15th century CE) When other sect acharyas don't find any mentions outside their sectarian works. Saiva vipras were heavily patronised and deified, Siva 🕉️ Saivacharyas since Lakulisa are sole authority on Dharma

1). Bhagwan Shiva and Maa Parvati sculptures were also very popular in pre Buddhist Burma (sculptures mentioned below) 2). Noel P Singer clearly states the disappearance of broken temples and terms it intentional. Shiva Lingas were converted into Chaitya Stupas.

Let's talk of Brahmin interest & their ability to call out what's wrong. If wrong is wrong for you, then you either critisize both or critisize none. EVR and Sringeri matha comparison? - EVR called for Brahmin genocide, Sringeri Shishya Tipu and Haider did Brahmin genocide.

This is a thread debunking the Tamil origin of Siddhanta Saivism and the immense contribution of Brahmin Saivavipras in the formation of Siddhanta, and to those as well who say that Siddhanta is anti-brahmin (based on modern caste politics). Keep politics away from core Siddhanta

Sivakaivalya introduced the Devraja pratha and declared the king as semi divine which makes a rebel against the king, a rebel against the gods. Later jayavarman 8 adopted Buddhism and ended Devraja pratha, faced revolt by his brothers which resulted in the end of Khmer empire.

Saivas have the concept of Bhakta (complete equality for fellow Saivas) and Bhavi (all non saivas, be it Hindu or non Hindu are all infidels). Hence those wanna be saivas who want infighting within saiva sects while praising other sects/religions are wannabes and larpers 👍

So the ruins of a Saiva monestry (oldest matha of Orissa) was unearthed by NK Sahu, which dates back to 5th cen CE mentioning a Saivacharya by the name Dharmatisvara. I used to think Bharti Pashupata matha (7th cen CE) was the oldest in Orissa but okay 😳

Ramanand Saraswati, connected to Sringeri in his book mentions how a saiva can't be a jagadguru cause he can't be a guru of everyone (jagadguru), but Shankaracharya can be jagadguru cause he can be a guru of all sects including muslims and Christians 🤦 So are u calling him out?

According to Kaliyuga year 4894 (1792 CE) text Idankai Valankai Kaifiyat, there was once a conflict between Saivas and Vaishnavas over Garuda emblem/idol, certain king/governor Vikrama Chola Deva Perumal admitted the Saiva claim rejecting the vaishnava one. Interesting isn't it?

So you've concluded by Vidyaranya and Simhasana. All Virasaiva/kalamukha gaddis are called Simhasana (hence it could be talking about mathadhipati position of Karnataka gaddi) Secondly there are 2 vidyaranya, other one was Kasivilasa Kriyasakti vidyaranya (kulaguru of sangamas)
