Sri Vallabha Acharya (1479 - 1531) was a devotional philosopher, who founded the Pushti sect in India, and the philosophy of Shuddha advaita (Pure Non-dualism). He is regarded as an acharya and guru within the Vaishnava traditions. Within Indian Philosophy he is known as the writer of sixteen 'stotras' (tracts) and produced several commentaries on the Bhagavata Purana, which describes the many lilas (pastimes) of the avatar, Krishna.
