Shree Dattatreya, the guru to the entire universe – Vishwa Guru - SMARTHRUGAAMI

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Behind all names and forms is the one nameless, formless Essence. Behind all governors is the one Supreme Governor of governors. Behind all lights is the one Light Of lights. Behind all sounds, there is the soundless Supreme Silence. Behind all teachers is the one Supreme Guru of Gurus and that is only Jagad Guru SHREE DATTATREYA.

The two letters of DA and TTA means “DATTA” nama smarana, Datta nama sankeerthan, Datta nama dhyaana only will give Paramardha to every life. He is “BHUKTHI, MUHTHI PRADAATHA” which means, he will always sanction Sukha in this Loka and also in Paraloka. . Hence the Datta sadhaks can lead the superb Materialistic and Spiritualistic life. Miraculous growth and life settlement of Children/Generations of Datta Sadhaks can be seen . This is Permanant (SHAASWATHA) , True (SATHYA) and Happy (AANANDA).

Prabhu Dattatreya tatwa is AVYAKTHA, NIRGUNA, NIRAAKAARA, NIRANJANA, NISHKRIYA, PARABRAHMA, SAGUNA SWAROOPA and it is SHREEMANNARAAYANA, PARAMESHA TATWA. The Upanishads are clearly telling that, “DATTA VEEJASTHAM JAGATH SARVAM”. This means that total Universe is Prabhu Datta swaroopa. Nothing is beyond him.
Lord Dattatreya, is the important Diety in the Indian Spiritual Panorama and very important in MAHANUBHAV. His personality integrates the elements of the three Gods, Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara. Shree Dattatreya is also the guru to the entire universe – Vishwa Guru.

He taught:
  • 1. Srividya to Parashurama
  • 2. Dattavidya to Brahma
  • 3. Adhyatma Vidya to Prahlada
  • 4. Yoga Vidya to Vasishta and
  • 5. Atma Vidya to Kartaviryarjuna

He also incarnated as Sri Sripada Vallabha and Sri Nrsimha Saraswati in the age of Kali to uphold Dharma. The trinity represent his three faces, his body is pure chit, the six branches of knowledge are his six hands, the four dogs are the four Vedas, the cow is Dharma, universal peace is the Oudumbara tree and the great incarnation of Brahman, complete with sixteen kalas, which is a personification of the knowledge of the Self – is the unfathomable Murti of Sri Dattatreya. Sri Dattareya is an ocean of compassion. By merely remembering his name, one earns his grace. Hence he is called “SMARTHRUGAAMI” – one who immediately appears to the devotee who remembers the Lord. A sage called Dalaadana once wanted to test the truth in this statement and remembered Dattatreya.

It is my very nature to reach that person who remembers me, instantly. Whether with devotion or not, if a man remembers me sincerely, I will instantly reach him and grant his desires – This is Shree Dattareya’s sacred promise to us, his children.
Also, the other unique quality of Sri Dattareya is that he is – BHAKTA KEERTHI VIVARDHANA – he is more interested in showcasing the glory of his devote than of his own. This is yet another example of his immeasurable grace towards his devotees.

The Upanishads Avadhutopanishad and Jaabaaldarshanopanishad mention that the philosophy is given by Shri Dattatreya. Upanishads and Puranas are openly telling and Guru avatharas are guiding us to recite Datta Nama Smaran. Dattaguru is always ready on his toes to reach those who remember him and shower his unbounded blessings on them. Come forward and recognize him and join his mission by serve him in the propagation of Datta Nama to make your materialistic life easy and create your path to reach the stage of SALVATION by glorifying the Glory of Lord Dattatreya.

  • 1. The Bhagavata-purana and the Markandeya-purana, are the most authoritative sources on the Dattatreya-avatara and they identify Him exclusively with Lord Vishnu.
  • 2. Atreh patny anasuuyaa triin~ jajn~e suyashasah sutaan dattam duurvaasasam somam aatmesha-brahma- sambhavaan (Srimad Bhagavatam 4.1.15).
  • 3. The Vishnu-dharmottara Purana describes in great detail the iconographic details of the avatara-s of Lord Vishnu and here is the reference for Sri Dattatreya.
  • 4. Brahmanda Purana says–“Lord Dattatreya gave the memory of Vedas to the Vedamurthy Sree Brahma Deva Himself.

Surrender everything to me, I am the God: O Arjuna: Bhagavad Gita, Chapter XVIII, Verses 66

Surrender everything to me, I am ...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Lord Shree Krishna said that during the last chapter since, he exhausted all other advice to Arjuna regarding:
1. Jnana Yoga: The path of external renunciation, where outside activity is given up in pursuit of inner enquiry.
2. Karma Yoga: It purifies the mind. It leads one to consider dharma of work, and the work according to one's dharma, doing god's work.
3. Raja Yoga: It does emphasize the importance of self-control, meditation, and inner discipline, which are core principles of Raja Yoga, and discusses various yogic paths including Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, and Jnana Yoga.

Sarva-Dharman parityajya mam ekam sharanam vraja aham tvam sarva-papebhyo mokshayishyami ma shuchah.

Lord Krishna said: Abandon all Dharma (duties) and just surrender unto me (the will of God). I shall deliver you from all bonds of Karma. Do not fear.

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Shree Dattatreya or Shree Datta is a Hindu deity considered to be an avatar of Hindu god Shree Krishna, known as Shree Dattatreya.
The name Dattatreya is composed of two words - “Datta” (meaning given) and “Atreya”, referring to the sage Atri, his physical father.
Various Hindu sects worship him differently, though Shree Dattatreya is considered a form of all the three deities. He is especially considered an avatar of Vishnu while his siblings the moon-god Chandra and the sage Durvasa are regarded as forms of Brahma and Shiva respectively. However, spiritual seekers pray to this Supreme Teacher for knowledge of the Absolute Truth. Hindu theology, credits Dattatreya as the author of the Tripura Rahasya given to Parashurama, a treatise on Advaita Vedanta. He is specially worshipped on his birthday, Datta Jayanti.

Shree Dattatreya traditions
  • Puranic tradition
  • Mahanubhav tradition
  • Shri Gurucharitra tradition
  • Sakalmat Sampradaya tradition
  • Avadhut Panth tradition
  • Shri Dattpith Sansthan Pathri

One who is in possession of all six of these opulences at the same time and who possesses them to an unlimited degree is understood to be the Supreme Personality of Godhead according to Parasara Muni a great Vedic authority.
Shree Dattatreya was born to the sage Atri, who had been promised by Parameshvara (the Almighty), that He, Parameshvara, would be incarnated as his son. Some Hindu sects familiar with the trinity also attribute Shree Dattatreya's incarnation as of all the three- Vishnu, Shiva and Brahma, indirectly meaning to be all powerful and above all. This is just one of the many legends related to the birth of Lord Dattatreya. Others suggest a more mystical origin of Shree Dattatreya. Some of the sources claim that he was born in Kashmir jungles near the sacred Amarnath.

Appearance Puranic tradition
मालाकमंडलुरधः करपद्मयुग्मे, मध्यस्थ पाणियुगुले डमरूत्रिशूले
यस्यस्त उर्ध्वकरयोः शुभशंखचक्रे वंदे तमत्रिवरदं भुजषटकयुक्तम
I bow to the one who has six hands and whose lowest two hands have maalaa and kamandalu, middle pair of hands hold damaru and trishool and top two hands have holy Shankh and Chakra) Other depictions, however, show other weapons like 'Gada' in the hands of Dattatreya sometimes.

Names of Shri Datta & their meanings:
🚩 Datta >> Datta is one who has been bestowed with the spiritual experience of the nirgun? (Nonmaterialised), meaning, the one who has been given the experience that the 'Self' is Brahman (God in His aspect as the Creator of the universe) or mukta (Liberated) self or the soul.
🚩 Avadhut >> One whose (spiritual) ignorance has been dispelled with spiritual knowledge, meaning, the one who emancipates all.
🚩 Dattatreya >> This word is derived from Datta and Atreya. The meaning of 'Datta' has already been explained above. 'Atreya' means the son of Sage Atri.
🚩 Digambar >> Is the principle which gives company to an embodied soul till it gets Final Liberation in the radiance of the sky, i.e. beyond all the directions.
🚩 Shripad >> 'Shri' is the never-ending principle of God. The principle that takes an embodied soul to that principle of God or to the Holy Feet of 'Shri' principle, is the Datta principle in Shripad.
🚩 Vallabh >> The Datta principle in the form of Vallabh protects the Universe from the circular-shaped negative energies that create fear psychosis, and thus protects the embodied souls.
