Many worship Lord Śiva as the supreme, while others see him as just one of many demigods. In reality, both are wrong. Lord Śiva sits in the middle, above regular demigods, but subordinate to the Lord.
Hare Krishna Prabhu, but in many instances in sxeiptures it indicates that Lord Shiva is born out of Brahma, so many sampradayas use that reference to state that shiva is a devata created by Brahma.. how do we reconcile this with the info and refernces stated in the above article.. ( this is more prominent in Sri vaishnavism)
The real position of Lord Siva is revealed in the Srimad Bhagavatam. Scriptures can be understood in different levels, starting from a superficial inderstanding, all thhe way to the confidential meaning

Hare Krishna
The article seems to be presented from Vaishnavism point of view.
This may change when we look from Shiv puran perspective.
Also Srimad Bhagavatam canto 8 chapter 7 verses 21 to 35 describe the position of Shiv.
We need to consider more than one aspect to understand Shiv as a supreme Lord.
Hare Krishna
Hare Krishna Prabhu.. nice summary.. yesterday's questions answer has come as an article.. 😊
if this clarity existed Saivaities and Vaishnavites fights would have reduced.. 🙏
