Question

The monism preached by which of the following Bhakti saints is known as Shuddh advait or pure non-duality?

A Narsi Mehta
B Nanak
C Kabir
D Vallabhacharya

Answer & Explanation

Answer: [D]

Vallabhacharya propounded the philosophy of Shudh Advaita (pure monism) which forms the basis of the pushtimarg devotional practice. Shudh Advaita like Vishista Advaita too indicates that the entire universe is the manifestation of Brahman. It is like the two sides of the coin, with Brahman as one side and the universe another side.
