Detailed explanation-1: -Vallabhacharya propounded the Sudhadvaita Vedanta (Pure non-dualism) and a philosophy called Pustimarga (The path of Grace). He believed that Brahman is identified with Sri Krishna, characterised by Sat (Being), Cit (Consciousness) and Ananda (Bliss).
Detailed explanation-2: -Vallabhacharya (acarya, “teacher”) himself belonged to the Rudra sect established by Vishnusvamin, and his philosophical system of pure nondualism (shuddhadvaita)-i.e., the identity of God and the universe-closely follows that of the Vishnusvamin tradition.
Detailed explanation-3: -Vishishta Advaita, meaning “non-duality with distinctions", is a non-dualistic philosophy that recognizes Brahman as the supreme reality while also acknowledging its multiplicity. This philosophy can be characterized as a form of qualified monism, attributive monism, or qualified non-dualism.
Detailed explanation-4: -Vallabha expounded that system in the Anu-Bhashya, his commentary on the Brahma Sutras. He called it Suddha-Advaita or pure monism as against Sankara’s Kevala Advaita and Ramanuja’s Visishta-Advaita.
