[Advaita-l] Is there a 'Hari-Hara Avatāra' of Viṣṇu?

[Venkatesh Murthy]

Namaste

The real test for Srivaishnavas is - Is there a Sankara Narayana
temple with Srivaishnava priests doing worship of both like doing
Rudra Abhisheka for Sankara and Purusha Sukta Abhisheka? I think there
is not. I heard many Srivaishnavas will not learn any Veda Mantra with
Siva as Devata of that Mantra. Like in Maha Narayana Upanishad they
will avoid Sadyo Jatadi Mantras.

But surprising thing is some Srivaishnava scholars like Challakere
Brothers have made recording of Rudram Chamakam without a single
mistake. It is beautiful to hear them. Very nicely done.
