Jai Jai ShriGokulesh,
ShriMahaprabhuji led the simple life, and aapshri spreaded the shuddadwait brahmavaad destroying mayavaad. One prasang and we all might have done the darshana of that Chitraji of ShriGusaiji Where aapshri had worn the Vagha of King Akbar, the only hindu saint allowed to wear the same type of vaghas of the Badhshah. This obviously reflects the honour for Our ShriGurudevShriVallabh-Vitthal how they dealed.
Jai Jai ShriGokulesh Parivaar, Baroda

Jayshrikrishna,
in our varta-orasangs there are many storys of the encounters that Shri vallabh kul had with muslim rulers. from that we can say that muslim rulers respected them & vice a versa.
Shri Mahaprabhuji & Shri Vithalnathji taught us to respect every living being.
examples are:
Shri Gusainji saving life of muslim lady by giving her Zariji's jal.
Shri gusainji getting bhet from akabar badshah.
Tajbibi one of akabar's queen asking Shri gusaiji
for a spell (tuchko) to keep her husband in her cantrol & Shri Gsainji's ans.
Mala-Tilak raxa prasang of Shri Gokulnathji's time

Jai Shree Krushna !
Well said and exemplified by Gopalbhai and Bindiben. Shree Vallabhacharya Mahaprabhuji believed in hindu-muslim unity through culture and religion. As he left the doors of religion open to shudras and untouchables, he also kept it open to muslims if there were very ardent believers. Because of His spiritual potency, the muslim rulers relaxed their policy of forced-conversion. Shree Vitthalnathji also adopted liberal views in this regard. He was well-respected by Akbar who had made special fermans for allowing grazing of cows, relief from taxes and protection of his property and cows. He also gifted a Badashahi dress to him and used to consult him to solve problems of hindus and muslims. His son Jehangir also expresed his faith in him.
There are many examples of muslim devotees. A mughal sardar lived a life of a good vaishnav named Aryakhan after listening from Shree Mahaprabhuji about importance of violance and non-violance. Alikhan Pathan was in charge of Vraj province and a disciple of Shree Gusainji. He used to listen Bhagavat from him and offer flowers for Shree Madan-mohanji. He ordered not to pluck-off any leaves of trees in Vraj. He was so fascinated that he made Vraj his permanent residence, and used to wander like a mad man in Vraj. His daughter Khan Zadi was so ardent devotee that she remained unmarried in pangs of separation of Shree Krushna! The king of music, Tansen became Shree Gusainji's disciple and sang many kirtans for Shreeji. A muslim lady Kunjari was saved by Shree Gusainji by giving her the water meant for devotional service. Later she became a very good vaishnav. Bagikhan was another muslim who became a disciple. Raskhan is famous for his kirtans which are sung even this day in haveli. There was a muslim boy who developed faith in Pushtimarg that he never gave up however hard his parents and the ruler tried to get him back.
These examples show that Shree Mahaprabhuji and Gusainji had compassion for even muslims. They believed that if a muslim develops the quality of a vaishnav then the fact that he is a muslim should not come in his way to achieve love from Shreeji. They didn't allow interdining and intermarriage between hindus and muslims, but also didn't shut the doors of religion for them. They could achieve this in the time of Muslim regime shows the polytical victory of their faith and religion.
Jai Shree Krushna !

Jai Jai ShriGokulesh,
Even the kavi raskhan, tajbibi, and many others were graced by ShriVallabh, and made sevaks. Aapshri only understood this that the jeev was daivi and has to be graced.
Jai Jai ShriGokulesh Parivaar, Baroda
