It is intriguing how we formulate our opinion starting from a base and then proceed to find justification for our stand. Why Vasudeva Kutumbaka suddenly becomes unpalatable for some because we have aversion to universal concept (not without justification I may add) but should we become so paranoid that we forget that the whole creation can not be separate for different followers however right or wrong, good or evil we may be.
As Krishna says I am the seed giving father, all off us are that seed so does that not make us all the Family=Kutumb, Vasudev Kutumbak?
And why should we not perceive everything as Vasudev or part of his family?

Rig Veda list only 33 devas, they are all propitiated, worthy off our worship, all other names of gods are derivative from this 33 originals,
Bhagvat Gita; Shree Krishna says Chapter 3.11 devan bhavayatanena te deva bhavayantu vah parasparam bhavayantah sreyah param avapsyatha Chapter 17.4 yajante sattvika devan yaksa-raksamsi rajasah pretan bhuta-ganams canye yajante tamasa janah
The world disappears in him. He is the peaceful, the good, the one without a second.
