Lord Hayagreeva says, "One NAME of the LORD SHIVA is equivalent to 1000 NAMES of LORD VISHNU and CHANTING OF ONE NAME OF the GODDESS LALETAA is FAR SUPERIOR to the CHANTING of 1000 NAMES OF LORD SHIVA".
Read the Fllowing as the PROOF of the above statement.
Note: This is not to say that the Chanting of the names of LORD VISHNU or SHIVA is useless. Rather this above-quoted statement SHOWS THE IMPORTANCE OF THE SHAKTE ELEMENT....!
