madhuk

What are you trying to say here, tell me pls?

..... you have ONLY Parameshwar in a meditation pose, have you ever seen any other GODS in Hinduism like Lord Vishnu, Lord Muruga, Lord Ganesha, Godess Parvathi ina meditation yogic pose?? no is it not?

Hindusim or Saivasim says everything is Ishwar, everything leads to Isha
