The three pillars of Pushtimarg are
1)Raag(Traditional Haveli Music),
2)Bhog(Pure Vegetarian Food Offerings excluding Onion,Garlic,Cabbage and Root Vegetables), and,
3)Vastra&Shringar(Dressing up the deity with beautiful clothes,headwear and jewellery adornments).
All the above three are included in the daily "seva"(ritual service) which all Pushtimarg following Vaishnavs offer their "Thakurji"(Personal Krishna Deity) and all have been traditionally prescribed by Goswami Shri Vitthalnathji also called Gusainji(Vallabhacharya's younger son) almost five hundred years ago.
Overview of Its Features
1. To understand Pushtibhakti better, let us now have an overview of its features :-
2. It is spontaneous, selfless & motiveless love for God.
3. It is based on pure love for God.
4. It is expressed only through service of God - "Seva".
5. It is love after realising God's true nature.
6. No caste, greed, color, sex or age becomes the criteria, the only criteria is God's Grace.
7. It does not know any boundaries, be it time, place or anything else.
8. It does not require a devotee to give up a householder's life. In fact, one can serve Him better, by being a householder. All the worldly desires are diverted towards God, they are then not required to be suppressed.
9. World is not looked down upon but is treated as God's creation and thus as real as God himself.
10. Shri Krishna is the supreme God, all the other deities reside in his form. Therefore total faith is placed in Shri Krishna alone.
11. The knowledge gained is not a means of liberation. Liberation is considered secondary to the enjoyment of God's bliss. Its aim is God's happiness. In the state of liberation the entity of devotee merges into God's blissful form, but in Bhakti (especially Pushti bhakti) devotee does not seek liberation but he enjoys God's bliss by participating in it as a separate divine entity.
