DOES 2 NAAM APRADH MEANS THAT WE SHOULD NOT COMPARE ANY NAME WITH THAT OF LORD VISHNU'S OR COMPARISON CAN BE DONE ? I HAVE DOUBT BECAUSE ALL GREAT SAINTS TELLS NO BODY SHOULD COMPARE NAME OF LORD VISHNU AND LORD SHIVA THAN WHY WE R COMPARING ?

people are always make differences based on their material judgement , so thats normal.
on another side saints and pure devotees always look things as they are, on transcendental level.
seeing the same god in every religion, they see the truth:
Hari Das Thakur answered, “God is one. The same God is present in every religion; He is the non-dual absolute truth. In the different religions, it is simply the name that differs, but on the absolute plane, there is no distinction to be made. The same God sits in the heart of every single living being and he engages each one of them in His service in different ways. One worships in the way one is made to worship by Him. There are Hindu Brahmins who convert to Islam. In the same way, though I was born in a Muslim family, I have been engaged by the Lord in chanting the Holy Names of Krishna. The living being has no independence in such matters. If this is a fault, then please punish me.”
o enlighten the Kazi , Haridasa said, "All living entities in creation are inspired by the Lord in the heart to act in different ways. People of different religions praise the Lord's holy names and qualities according to the view of their scriptures. The Supreme Lord accepts everyone's mood. If anyone shows malice towards another's religion he actually shows malice to the Lord Himself, who is worshiped by that religion. Since God is one, that person becomes envious of the same Supreme Lord that he himself is worshiping."
