who founded the pushti marg sect of the hindu religion?
vallabhacharya
based on pushti marg literature, in about 1530 a.d., shrinathji commanded vallabhacharya to leave the worldly life and to come near him. it is said that shrinathji had previously expressed his wish on two different occasions. the third command was accepted by vallabhacharya as the last verdict. he reached kasi and according to vedic traditions, formally renounced the world by taking sanyasa and a vow of silence. he lived in a hut made of leaves on the hanuman ghat for about a week. he spent his last days in contemplation of krishna and suffered agonies of separation from him. the members of his family assembled near him for his last darshan. when asked about his advice, vallabhacharya scribbled three and a half sanskrit verses in the sand by way of counsel. to complete this message, it is believed that krishna himself manifested visually on the spot and wrote in the form of a verse and a half. this collection of verses is known as ‘shikshasloki’ in pushti marg literature. he entered into the waters of the ganges on the day of rath yatra (a festival that is celebrated on the second or third day of the bright side of the lunar month of "ashadha"). people witnessed a brilliant flame as it arose from the water and ascended to heaven and was lost in the firmament. this episode is known as "asurvyamohlila".
