Vishvaksena
There was a very dear, parama bhagavata devotee of Vishnu names Viswaksena. He was traveling throughout the world. Once, feeling tired, he sat down in a forest. There was a village close by. The son of the village chief happened to come by. Seeing the brahmana Viswaksena, he said, “I am the son of the village chief. I have a very bad headache today so I cannot offer worship to my ista, Shivaji. So I request you, please offer worship to Shivaji today on my behalf.”
Viswaksena said, “I am a Vishnu-bhakta, I am a dear devotee of Vishnu. I offer worship to Krishna and His forms such as Vishnu, Vasudeva, Sankarshana, Pradyumna and Aniruddha. I never offer worship to demigods. I never offer worship to anyone else. You may go elsewhere.”
The son of the village chief became angry and drew his sword, “if you do not obey me, if you do not worship my ista, Shiva, on my behalf, then I will cut off your head.”
In order to save himself from death, Viswaksena said, “Yes, yes. I will worship. I will worship.” He thought to himself that Shiva is Rudradev, the incarnation of ignorance, tamo-guna.
Rudra is the incarnation of tamo-guna and Nrisinghadev is the killer of the demons, in whom tamo-guna is predominating. So Viswaksena thought, “I must worship Nrisinghadev in the Shiva murti to kill this person’s tamo-guna.” So uttering the mantra “sri nrsimhaya namah” – “I offer my obeisances to Lord Nrsimhadeva” – he offered flower to the Shiva deity. When the son of the village chief heard him chant the mantra he got angry and drew out his sword to cut off his head, “What are you doing? You are uttering Nrisingha mantra? You are not worshiping my ista, Shiva!” When that person drew his sword to cut off Viswaksena’s head, immediately Nrisinghadev appeared from the Shiva murti and cut off the sword of that person and all of his family members.
So where is the difference between Shiva and Vishnu? This shiva-linga that Nrisingha came out of is still there in South India. It is known as linga-sphota. You may go and see it.

kalas
Sandipani Muni imparted this knowledge to Sri Krishna.
In the scriptures, Chaitanya-Shakti is measured by means of kalas.
According to this:
Om amrtaadi maha sakti samvrtaayai namah: Salutations to Her who is surrounded by sixteen Saktis beginning with Amrta.
As Siva, he is concorporate with Uma.So he is also said to have 16 kalas.
In the scriptures, Chaitanya-Shakti is measured by means of kalas.
According to this:
- Rocks, minerals and other inert matter have the lowest Chaitanya-Shakti of 1 kala.
- Plants are the next evolution of Chaitanya-Shakti with 2 kalas.
- Animals have 3,4 kalas.
- Average human beings have 5 kalas.
- Human beings with higher spiritual capacities have 6 kalas.
- Saints have 7 kalas.
- The most advanced saints and sages have 8 kalas. It is not possible for saints to go beyond 8 kalas. A normal human body cannot sustain greater than 8 kalas.
- Varaha Avatara of Vishnu had special sattva body with 11 kalas.
- Sri Ramachandra incarnated with 12 kalas.
- When Sandipani Muni was imparting this knowledge to Sri Krishna and Balarama, he did not know that Sri Krishna was an Avatara. He mentioned upto Sri Ramachandra and said that in future other Avataras of Vishnu will incarnate. Sri Krisha incarnated with 16 kalas (Purna-Avatara), the highest possible Chaitanya Shakti. Amsa-Avataras incarnate with lesser kalas
Om amrtaadi maha sakti samvrtaayai namah: Salutations to Her who is surrounded by sixteen Saktis beginning with Amrta.
As Siva, he is concorporate with Uma.So he is also said to have 16 kalas.

Dhams
In the original Char Dham, three of the three sites are Vaishnava (Puri, Dwarka and Badrinath) while one is Shaiva (Rameswaram). The Chota Char Dham included representatives from all three major Hindu sectarian traditions, with two Shakta (goddess) sites, (Yamunotri and Gangotri), one Shaiva site (Kedarnath), and one Vaishnava site (Badrinath).

Brahmarakshasa
In countries like Thailand, Cambodia and also Java whose culture has large influence of Hindu heritage and Sanskrit language, we can find little shrines elevated on poles. These are erected in neighborhood of every house in veneration of nature spirit. These spirits were identified in early times with Hindu deities or Sanskrit names like Brahmarakshsa, Sri Shikeshwara (Shiva), Sri Champeshwara (Krishna) and others.

Vishnu Devi Bhagavata Purana
To start with, it is interesting to note that:
- Both the purANas consist of 18000 shlokas
- Both the purANas are divided into twelve skandhas or chapters
if you compare both, they seem very similar. The first canto of both speak about creation. The tenth canto of Srimad Bhagavata speaks about Shri Krishna and in Devi Bhagavata it speaks of Shri Radha Rani.
