By comparing both religions, the main characteristics of each tradition is delineated and questions regarding their origins, theological doctrines and practices are reconsidered. Special emphasis is laid on their various interrelations, for example, the partly parallel and often divergent development of their rituals and philosophies."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aReligious Studies: Bloomsbury Academic Collections 606 $aS?aivism 606 $aVaishnavism 606 $2Religion & beliefs 615 0$aS?aivism. 615 0$aVaishnavism. 676 $a294.5/512 700 $aGonda$b J$g(Jan),$f1905-1991,$0204505 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798655103321 996 $aVisnuism and Sivaism$91179785 997 $aUNINA
