In Vaishnavism, Vishnu and Siva represent two parts of a single equation, like milk and yogurt. So, Vishnu is the source of everything, and Siva is the destroyer, to make a fertile soil for the next cycle of existence. Siva seems to me to be a lot like the Devil: He carries a trident, possesses mystical powers, associates with ghosts and demons, etc., etc. But he's just part of God, like an expansion. Does this make sense to anyone else?
