    From my understanding, this is the philosophical turn, vendata represents. This doesn’t effect all of today’s Hinduism. I read a little bit of Hare Krishna as a young adult and they stressed very much that Krishna is the highest personal god as in there are other gods as well but Krishna is the highest and it’s a personal god, not just a representation of an abstract idea. I don’t know what role Brahman plays in their view though.

      Krishna isn’t even really part of the Trimurti, he’s an avatar of Vishnu. You could draw parallels to Christ, “personal” is a crucial qualifier there.
