I didn't understand that your earlier post was a link. Also I think the second link was better and I thank you for it.
I delved deeper into the source of the first link and found a very good example of the difference between sects. Vijay Kumar is a devotee of Krishna probably a member of ISKON who worship Krishna without the inclusion of Lord Vishnu. Krishna is an incarnation of Vishnu of which there are supposed to be ten, with I think one more to come. He also considers the Gita to be scripture which I do not. I also think they are dualists.

Some of the differences between Kashmiri Shaivites and devotees of Krishna are clear cut. I or we do not believe there are or ever will be incarnations of God. I believe they and devotees of Vishnu do not have a more personal relationship with God as we do with Lord Shiva. When we reach moksha we believe the atman is reabsorbed into Shiva not with God but a part of.

I consider the Gita not to be scripture but a very important "how to" book in which Krishna teaches about yogas and the importance of doing one's duty to uphold dharma

I have to confess that I am not very knowledgeable about devotees of Lord Vishnu or Krishna. But all schools and sects believe that no particular religion teaches the only way to salvation above all others, but that all religious paths are facets of God's Pure Love and Light, deserving tolerance and understanding. Per Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami.

Kumar also has what I consider disturbing predictions on what is to come in the year 2012. He believes it to be the end of Kali Yuga and much more. If you have not already read what he has to say about that I wish you would check it out.

Again thank you for the links and if there is anything you wish to discuss about them please do.

BTW what is your or Sikh point of view pertaining to the Vahinis Sutra?

Peace brother
