Dear Krishna Susarla, >While I am certainly no scholar, I am under the impression that >the Vaishnavas following in the lines of Vallabha, Vishnuswami, >and Nimbarka Swami also accept that Krishna is the svayam >bhagavaan in the same sense that the Gaudiyas do. I have never heard of this, but as I lack access to the texts of these traditions, I cannot really say. Perhaps someone else has studied the writings of these acaryas and is able to provide references, either way? >>advocating Krishna as avataarin are exclusively Gaudiya texts ... > >Actually, I have been collecting evidence from mainstream scriptures >which say the same thing. Explicitly claiming the Krishna form to be ontologically prior to Vishnu? What texts would that be?
