The Radha Vallabha Sampradaya ( Sanskrit: राधावल्लभसम्प्रदाय, romanized: Rādhāvallabhasampradāya) [4] is a Vaishnava Hindu denomination which began in 1535 at Vrindavan with the bhakti sant Hith Harivansh Mahaprabhu (1502–1552). [5] Harivansh's views are related to Krishnaism, but emphasises devotion to the goddess Radha as the Supreme Being. [6] [1] [7] [8] [9]
According to the scholar Guy L. Beck, the Radha Vallabha Sampradaya has the following features, in comparison with Krishnaite traditions. [10]
The main scriptures of the sampradaya created in regional Braj Bhasha with status of the heaven language. [3]
The Shri Radha Vallabh Temple in Vrindavan, Mathura is a very famous temple of the same preaching. This temple is among the most famous 7 temples of Thakur of Vrindavan including Radha Vallabha, Govinda, Banke Bihari and four others. In this temple, there is no idol of Radha, but a 'Gādī Sevā' is placed next to Krishna to signify her presence. [15]
The Shri Radha Vallabh Temple was founded by Hith Harivansh Mahaprabhu who is worshipped in the adjacent temple of Radha Vallabha which was earlier Radhavallabha's temple, but because of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb's attack on Vrindavan he was shifted to other place and then the new temple was built. The Yugal Darshan of Radhavallabha is considered as difficult because of rituals due to which the "patt" gets closed. This temple with Madan teer and Seva kunj with Maharasmandal are held by the Tikaet Adhyaksh and are considered as Radha Vallabha's property. In this temple Radhastami is celebrated largely which is a festival on the birthday of Radha.
The kirtan "Samaj-Gayan" is the Radha-vallabha's collective style of hymn singing by the Hindustani classical music forms, such " dhrupad" and " dhamar". [3]
