The Supreme element is decribed as ‘Par-Brahma’ in Vedas. Upnishads term him as ‘Parmatman’ Bhagwat and other puranas, called him Bhagwan. Brahm is both Saakar and Nirakaar. He bears a definite form, and gives his glimpses to his ‘Bhakti’ in that form. Though he assumes himself like human, he does not consist of panch mahabhut tatvas (elements) viz.prithvi,jal, vayu, tej and aakash. But he consists of Anand (Bliss) only.In this form he is known as Swaroop which is described in Upnishads as KRUSHNA’, who took birth in VRAJ in saraswat Kalp, and performed various ‘lilas’.These different swaroops assumed by ‘Krishna’ to perform verious ‘lilas’ have been accepted by Shri Vallabhacharyaji for performing his seva and they are known as NIDHI SWAROOPS in Pushti Sampraday.
