This collection contains some of the many important writings of Shri Vallabhacharya (1479 – 1531), the founding Acharya of the Pushtimarg, the Path of Grace, and proponent of the purely non-dual philosophy of Shuddhadvaita Vedanta. His “Sixteen Works” are presented here, along with a few compositions by other important authors, in Sanskrit with original English translations. To read or recite these texts is the most direct approach to understanding Shri Vallabhacharya’s Path of Grace. These short doctrines give a comprehensive view of the Path of Grace from both philosophical and devotional perspectives.
Siddhant is true philosophy, teachings that bring us to perfection. It is siddha, perfection, at the anta, or end. Shri Vallabhacharya’s siddhant is strictly for the attainment of Shri Krishna and is full of devotional, inspirational, and practical advice for his followers. His words are replete with wisdom and love and are essential bhakti empowerments.
The Blessed Master’s teachings nurture the delicate inner seed of devotion and guard it from the confusion and false identifications that can cloud our vision and make us forget our true blissful nature. This seed of devotion begins as a subtle notion and can mature into a wishing tree that provides the blessed one with the priceless fruit of bhakti: supreme, unconditional devotion. In that blessed state, the Beloved appears in the heart and throughout creation, filling us with His own joy.
