Again not so. Sri Krsna is the author of the Vedas, as He Himself

their interpretations would lead one to believe that they are,
since they claim, or fail to deny, that Sankara and Sai Baba are
also God.
In short, as far as philosophy in Indian tradition . . .

The logic of his interpretations obviates the need for this.
And this conclusion is inescapable if one accepts such an
interpretation.

I appreciate your point, and I think mine is clear and cohesive
