Vallabhacharya, also known as Vallabha, was indeed the founder of the Pushtimarg sect, which is a devotional tradition within Hinduism. He was born on 27 April 1479, in the town of Champaranya, now located in the state of Chhattisgarh, India.
Vallabhacharya was a philosopher, theologian, and saint who played a significant role in the Bhakti movement, a devotional movement that emphasized the worship of a personal deity, particularly the god Krishna. He is revered for his teachings on Pushti Bhakti, or the path of loving devotion, and for his commentary on the Bhagavata Purana, one of the major texts of Hinduism.
The Pushtimarg tradition, founded by Vallabhacharya, centers around the worship of the deity Krishna and emphasizes the importance of loving devotion (bhakti), selfless service (seva), and surrender (prapatti) to the divine. Vallabhacharya's teachings continue to inspire devotees within the Pushtimarg community and have had a lasting impact on Hindu spirituality and philosophy.
