Pushti Marg
About Pushti Marg
Pushti Marg, also known as the Path of Grace, is a Vaishnava sect of Hinduism founded by Shri Vallabhacharya in the 16th century. It focuses on pure devotion to Krishna and the importance of divine grace in achieving salvation.
Shri Mahaprabhu Vallabhacharyaji composed sixteen texts (Shodash Granth) to help his devotees achieve the perfection of devotion, each dedicated to a different Vaishnav. Pushtimarg (Path of Grace) is founded on four fundamental principles:
- Surrender (Sharanagati)
- Dedication (Samarpan)
- Service (Seva)
- Devotion (Bhakti)
Each principle has four corresponding texts:
Texts on Surrender:
- Balbodh
- Vivek Dhairya Ashray
- Krishnashray
- Panchpadyani
Texts on Dedication:
- Siddhant Rahasya
- Navratna
- Antahkaran Prabodh
- Nirodh Lakshan Granth
Texts on Service:
- Siddhant Muktavali
- Pushti Pravaah Maryada
- Sanyas Niyam
- Seva Phal
Texts on Devotion:
- Yamunashtak
- Jalbhed
- Chatuhshloki
- Bhakti Vardhini
The Shodash Granth begins with Yamunashtak and concludes with Seva Phal. Some of these texts have also been commented upon by Shri Vitthalnathji. In these sixteen texts, it is described how to serve Pushti Purushottam, understanding which, the soul can get free from the cycle of the worldly ocean.
