Shuddhadvaita

The Shrinathji temple at Nathdwara, and compositions of eight poets (aṣṭasakha), including Surdas, are central to the worship by the followers of the sect.

[2] Vallabhacharya founded the Krishna-centered Pushti-Marga sect of Vaishnavism in the Braj(Vraj) region of India.

[4] In the ancient Vedic tradition of knowledge and comprehension of reality, the central theme would be experiencing the Supreme Entity or Brahman.

This image, now called Shrinathji and located at Nathdwara, Rajasthan, is central to the worship by Vallabha followers.

The eight-syllable mantra, śri kṛṣṇaḥ śaraṇaṃ mama (Lord Krishna is my refuge), is passed onto new initiates in Vallabh sampradaya.

[4][5] The school of in-essence monism or purified non-dualism of Vallabha sees equality in "essence" of the individual self with God.

The individual soul is not the Supreme (Satcitananda) clouded by the force of avidya, but is itself Brahman, with one attribute (ananda) rendered imperceptible.

Vallabha cites the Chandogya Upanishad sections 6.1 - 6.4, that Brahman desired to become many, and he became the multitude of individual souls and the world.

The highest goal is not Mukti or liberation, but rather eternal service of Krishna and participation along with His activities in His Divine abode of Vrindavana.

[6] In all the philosophical traditions, it is common practice to describe how the Supreme Entity Brahman is related to us and our surroundings.

[7] Followers of Vallabhacharya maintain that if one wants to obtain moksha and the bliss given by Krishna, the only path to do so is bhakti.

[8] According to the version of Vaishnava Theology Vallabhacharya espoused; the glorious Krishna in His "Satcitananda" form is the Absolute, Svayam Bhagavan.

Their supreme-most meditation was on the lotus-feet of Krishna.Thus it is by God's grace alone that one can obtain release from bondage and attain Krishna's heaven, Goloka.
