Nihar Sing might be a member of ISKCON, but Tagore was not. According to Geeta, Krishna says, he is Skanda, i.e., Sikander/Alexander the Macedonian! Thus, Krishna is not a historical reality. His cult was dominant before the Mughal era. If even one considers Janaganamana Adhinayaka as the supreme God, Lord Ganesh can aspire for the title.

It is interesting that you are eliminating Lord Krishna. Are you saying that Lord Krishna doesnt hold our reins through the ages. That my friend is a wrong assumption. Krishna is god and Tagore's intuitive mind very precisely was referring to Lord Krishna and no one else.

Janaganamana was neither about Lord Krishna nor about King George the 5th. Please read the following.On 10 November 1937 Tagore wrote a letter to Mr Pulin Bihari Sen about the controversy. That letter in Bengali can be found in Tagore's biography Ravindrajivani, volume II page 339 by Prabhatkumar Mukherjee."A certain high official in His Majesty's service, who was also my friend, had requested that I write a song of felicitation towards the Emperor. The request simply amazed me. It caused a great stir in my heart. In response to that great mental turmoil, I pronounced the victory in Jana Gana Mana of that Bhagya Vidhata [ed. God of Destiny] of India who has from age after age held steadfast the reins of India's chariot through rise and fall, through the straight path and the curved. That Lord of Destiny, that Reader of the Collective Mind of India, that Perennial Guide, could never be George V, George VI, or any other George. Even my official friend understood this about the song. After all, even if his admiration for the crown was excessive, he was not lacking in simple common sense."Again in his letter of 19 March 1939 Tagore writes,"I should only insult myself if I cared to answer those who consider me capable of such unbounded stupidity as to sing in praise of George the Fourth or George the Fifth as the Eternal Charioteer leading the pilgrims on their journey through countless ages of the timeless history of mankind."
