Just because only Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition sees Krishna as the original form of God. Does not mean other Hindu philosophies don't either. Goto any Sanatan Temple and they will have his Deity and preach the one accepted scripture the Gita which also states he is the highest form. Many other traditions accept Vishnu's forms as the highest. The concept of ism, Vaishnavism and Shiavism is very much a British classification using English language words.
