![]() On his first all India pilgrimage at the age of eleven, Vallabhacharya's brahmavad philosophy of shudha advaita or pure non-dualism proved that the material world is a manifestation of brahman and as such is true and not illusory or maya. Vallabhacharya ji's Philosophy of Shudh Advaita Shripad Vallabhacharya is particularly known as the founder of the Pushti Marg, a sect of the Hindu Religion, and is one of the five main acharyas who made a significant contribution to the bhakti movement. He was born in Champaran near Raipur in Chhattisgarh, a state of India. ![]() ![]() Vallabhacharya (1479-1531) was a famous 16th century sage-philosopher of India and an ardent devotee of Lord Krishna. With tenderness and teasing, and the beauty of his dark body, Krishna enflames the desire of the individuated soul for union with the Divine. His madhurya or sweet love is richly shared with the gopis of Vrindavan. Krishna exudes madhurya through his acts and his gestures, his words and his flute, his clothes and his sports. Shri Vallabhacharya posits Krishna as the paragon of sweetness and hence gives him epithets such as madhupati.
