Shiva Is Lord Of The Lords And It Is Really Not Easy To Write/Explain Everything About Shiva.

Shiva Means The Supreme One, The Auspicious One, The Pure One And For Me The Beloved One. Shiva Is Named As Pashupati Which Means The Lord Of All Living Beings Either It Is Humans, Devas, Asuras Or Any Creatures. Another Name Mahadeva Depicts The Great God, Supreme In All Devas (Gods).Lord Shiva Is Absolute Which Does Not Have Any Parents Which Never Takes Birth Which Is All Alone Without Association With Any Of The Creatures Or Creations Enjoying In The Self. God Is The Only One Who Is Dependable For Anybody / Anything To Surrender To As It Is The Only Perennial Being.  Hence God Is The Lord Of All Creatures (Lives/Souls). For This Reason The Lord Is Hailed As Pashupati (Lord Of Living Beings). Whether It Is Devas Or Asuras Or Humans Or Other Creatures All Are Pashus. That Being The Case How Could The Lord Be Partial To One Section Of Pashus And Withdrawing The Grace For The Other? So Anybody Who Worships The Lord Sincerely Could Get Blessed With Its Grace Irrespective Of The Caste, Creed, Race, Power, Status And Qualities. It Is In Fact To Be Noted That Lord Shiva Is Worshipped By The Devas Like Vishnu, Brahma, Indra, By Asuras Like Bana, Ravana, Tripura, Surapadma, By Humans Like Shankara Bhagavatpada, Sambandhar, Appar, By Other Creatures Like Jatayu, Sampadi (Eagles), Vali (Monkey) And The List Goes On And On. One Finds In The Puranas The Variety Of People Of Different Backgrounds And Qualities Worship The Lord Shiva. There Are Many Histories Of Temples Which Talk Of The Cranes, Bees, Elephants, Spiders, Snakes Worshipping The Lord And Getting Blessed. So The Lord As The Supreme Blesses Anyone Who Worships In Sincere Devotion. There Is No Discrimination On Who The Seeker Is. The Lord Is So Merciful That He Showers The Boons One Look For When There Is A Determination To Seek Him. It Is Evident From The History Of Asura Bana Who Attained A Great Fame Of His Valor And Got The Place In The Abode Of Lord Shiva All Due To His Determined Worship Of The Lord.

Lord Shiva Is The God Of All. Like The Mother He Showers The Grace For All The Children, But The Misusing Children Get Punished. This Supreme Lord Better Than A Mother Does Not Withhold The Grace, He Is Our Beloved Pashupati.

The God Would Not Be Biased. It Would Not Differentiate Between One Group Versus The Other, Whether It Be Divines Or Daemons Or Humans Or Plats Or Creatures Or On Sex Or On Race Etc. All That Matters Is Dharma And The Pure Devotion Towards It. No Doubt This Lovely Lord Shiva Is Worshipped Alike By Divines, Daemons, Scholars, Not Much Learnt Simple, And The Other Creatures.

Gaudiya Vaishnavists Always Make Blasphemous Remarks, Comments, and Posts About Lord Shiva, Who Is The Supreme Parabrahma. It’s Shaiva Aparadha!!

 These Include Cults Like Iskcon Which Was Found Under The Philosophies Of Gaudiya Vaishnavists. Gaudiya Vaishnavists Is A School That Is Just 500 Years Old Which Was Found By Caitanya Mahaprabhu. There Weren’t Much People Following The Gaudiya Vaishnavists Until Prabhupada Started Iskcon Some 50 Years Ago.

Lord Shiva Is Not Affected By Any Sort Of Gunas!! So How Can A Purana Praising The Glories Of Shiva Be Tamasic? There Is No Logic In Such Talks.
Secondly It’s Quoted In The Mahabharata Wherein Krishna Himself States This In The Anushasana Parva. And Says That There Is None Parallel To Bhava (Shiva) Or Greater Than Him. After Taking The Pashupat Diksha (Initiation And Shaktipaat) And Performing Pashupat Yog, One Becomes Fully Shaiv. So He Was A Staunch Shaiva Too. 
Om Namah Shivaya.

To This Nobody From Iskcon Can Ever Comment. The People From Iskcon Can Bring Up Other Things But Can't Comment On The Original Verses That Krishna Himself Say In Mahabharat's Anushasana Parva!!

And As Far As Cooked Up Puranas Are Concerned, Then The Number Of Scriptures That The Gaudiyas Have Cooked Up And Twisted Are So Many That They Are Leading The Public Into Believing That It Is Indeed The Vedic Culture. 
If This Wasn't The Case Then Prabhupada Would Not Have Restricted His Flocks From Reading Any Other Literature Except From The One That He Wrote Commentary On. 
There Is A Lot Of Duality In Iskcon’s Culture. Any Books Which Are Not Commented By Prabhupada. Iskcon Prevents People From Reading Them In The First Place. 

Krishna Himself And Rama Himself Accepts Shiva As The Object Of Their Worship!! Bhishma Pitamah Who Was A Highly Elevated Sage And Highly Respected By Krishna Himself Says That Madhava Has Pleased And Worshiped Shiva In Every Incarnation. So If We Read What Bhishma And Rishi Upmanyu Says, And What Prabhupada Says Then We Should Certainly Be Accepting Their Words Over Prabhupada's! Prabhupada Is No Match For Rishi Upmanyu Or Bhishma. If Krishna Says That He Worshipped Lord Shiva And Accepts Him As The Highest Object Of Worship, Then All Have To Accept It. It’s A Different Matter What The Gaudiyas Say And Preach. They Don't Preach The Original Vedas. And That's Why They Had To Write So Much Literature From Their Own Point Of View. We Should Not Feel Obliged To Accept That Over The Original Vedic Knowledge.
Om Namah Shivaya.

Shiva Doesn't Need To Pray To Anyone! He Is The Lord Of All Lords!! But He Can Offer His Appreciation And Obeisance And Respect. Narsimha Is An Avatara Of Vishnu! Shiva Is No Avatara. He Is Ishwara!! 

It Is The Gaudiya 'Misinterpretation' Of Scriptures That Shows That Shiva Is Sitting On Kailash And "Praying". It Is Ridiculous To Say That Lord Shiva Is Sitting There And Chanting Hare Krishna! This Is The Height Of Fanaticism? Of Course There Are Times Where Shiva Has Said That Vishnu (Hari) Is In His Heart Always! This Is A Matter Of Love. Of Being One's Beloved. But The Agenda To Prove Supremacy And Competition is Wrong. No One Should Indulge In Such Things. It’s Not Fit For Followers Of Sanatana Dharma. Of Course Cults Like Iskcon Will Ignore Good Advice And Continue With Their Blasphemy.
