[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 106461, member: 35"] Lord Shiva is indeed a primal deity and by some scholars considered a pre-Aryan deity associated with Agni among other early Indic gods. However, the lineage or incarnations of Shiva, Braham and Krishna are likely to be disputed depending on the branch of sanatan belief one follows. Here is one source that I think explains pretty well how confusion arrises. Though from Wikipedia, its content does overlap with other sources on the subject. [B]Relationship to Vishnu[/B] [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Harihara.jpg"][IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/54/Harihara.jpg/180px-Harihara.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [IMG]http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/common/images/magnify-clip.png[/IMG] Vishnu (left half—blue) and Shiva (right half—white) During the Vedic period, both Vishnu and Shiva (as identified with Rudra) played relatively minor roles, but by the time of the Brahmanas (c. 1000-700 BCE), both were gaining ascendance.[174] By the Puranic period, both deities had major sects that competed with one another for devotees.[175] Many stories developed showing different types of relationships between these two important deities. [I]Sectarian forces each presented their own preferred deity as supreme. Vishnu in his myths "becomes" Shiva.[176] The [/I][I]Vishnu Purana (4th c.
