Vallabhacharya lived from 1479 to 1531 CE, a span of years that situates his life at a fertile juncture in the evolution of devotional currents within Vaishnavism. These dates mark not only a historical figure’s lifespan, but also the temporal frame within which a distinctive path of devotion, Pushti Marg, took shape and began to radiate its influence. To contemplate these years is to recognize the period in which a particular vision of grace-centered Krishna devotion was articulated with clarity and force.

Within this finite arc of time, Vallabhacharya’s life became a vessel for the articulation of Pushti Marg Vaishnavism, a tradition that would come to emphasize divine grace and intimate devotion to Krishna. The years 1479 to 1531 CE thus serve as more than a chronological marker; they indicate the era in which his teachings were lived, spoken, and transmitted. For a spiritual seeker, reflecting on these dates can be a way of situating his message in history while also sensing how that message continues to speak beyond its original century.

Vallabhacharya’s lifespan, though limited in years, stands as a reminder that spiritual movements often crystallize around the focused activity of a single life fully given to its vision. The period from 1479 to 1531 CE may be read as the outer boundary of his earthly presence, yet the devotional current he helped shape flows onward, inviting reflection on how time-bound lives can open pathways to timeless experience.
