The eight devotionally inspired bhakta poets known as the Astha Chap stand at the heart of Path of Grace. Four of them, Surdas, Paramanandas, Kumbhandas and Krishanadas were Shri Vallabhacharya’s disciples while the other four, Chaturbhujdas, Nandadas, Chit Svami and Govind Svami were the followers of Shri Gusainji. Their songs are sung daily in every Pushti home of worship. Their divine lives continue to inspire us all towards the Blessed Path. They all experienced the Blessed Path in their own
unique ways.
