Shuddhadvaita

Vallabhacharya, who propounded the philosophy of Shuddadvaita

Shuddadvaita (Sanskrit: śuddhādvaita "pure non-dualism") is the "purely non-dual" philosophy propounded by the Hindu philosopher Vallabha (1479-1531 CE), the founder of Puṣṭimārga ("The path of grace"), a Vaishnava tradition focused on the worship of the deity Krishna. Vallabhacharya's pure form (nondualist) philosophy is different from Advaita.

The Shrinathji temple at Nathdwara, and compositions of eight poets (aṣṭasakha), including Surdas, are central to the worship by the followers of the sect.[1]
