Question: Lord Siva being a great vaisnava, why can He not take anyone to Krsna? Also, being in the Rudra sampradaya being a bona fide sampradaya, they cannot go back to Godhead someway?

Jayapataka Swami: Members of the Rudra sampradaya can go back to Krsna, can go back to Godhead. They are one of the four vaisnava sampradayas. Someone who worships Siva as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he cannot go back to Godhead. He goes to Lord Siva. And if someone worships Siva as a devotee, and if they are in His parampara, or He is the Founder Acarya, then naturally they can go back to the spiritual world. Hare Krsna!
