Abstract
In the 15th century, Shrimad Vallabhacharya founded the school named Shuddhadvaita
Vedanta, which is also known as Vallabha Vedanta or Pushtimarga. Shuddhadvaita school of
Vedanta tries to upgrade the lives of the followers by making them free from Shad-ripus and
solving their interpersonal disputes. It preaches simply and beautifies their lives with a
humanitarian approach. Social equality and social justice are the basic phenomena of the
school. They try to create peace and love in a social group and finally in the world.
As with every branch of Hinduism, the Shuddhadvaita Vedanta leads its followers to life‟s final
goal i.e. Moksha but at the same time the follower of this school finds Sarvatmabhava with the
lord means experiencing one's own self in everything and experiencing everything within once
own self because of this „ekatmabhava‟, the bhakta becomes free from the conflicts like love
and hatred, honour and humiliation. And as Ishavasya Upanishad says; „यस्ममन्सर्वाणि भूतवनन
आत्मैर्वभूद् वर्जवनत्। तत्र को मोह् क् शोक एकत्र्मनुपश्यत्॥‟ (ईशवर्वमय:1/7)
