January 23, 2006

SREE DATTA DEVAM SIRASAA NAMAAMI || SREE DATTA RAAJAM MANASAA SMARAAMI || In Sreepaadavallabha Charitra, the brahmin, the contemporary of Sreepadavallabha time explained the Sreepada vallabha (the first incarnation of Lord Dattatreya) leelas to Sree Gurucharana (name of a person). The Brahmin was born in a orthodox family and staunch devotee of Lord Dattatreya. Their family was facing severe financial problems. The more they worship Datta, they are getting so many problems. Some adviced them to select another God for worship instead of Dattabhagawan. The brahmin slept on

that night by thinking the other's words. Lord Datta in the form of butcherd (the one who kills animals) appeared to him with Goats and Sheeps. The brahmin feared verymuch to see the sword in the hands of butcherd, the Dattatreya. The butcherd in a loud voice, said ......"I am Dattatreya. In whatever form you perform puja, I will receive all. All forms in which you worship are mine. Though you change your God's form, all will come to me. You are mine. I am Mahasankalpa (who lead all sankalpaas of the world). I am all forms of Brahma,Vishnu, Maheshwara. Datta devotees should be brave and behave like kids of a lion. I am a LION. The kids of Lion will paly with the Lion with love and affection. They won't fear about Lion and they expect love from mother. The same is in the case of Datta devotees also. The devotees of mine (Datta) should be brave, fearless and they should be ready to face any

consequences of life with challenge. I will be always with them, guide them, protect them and I will provide every help at every moment. The difficulties are the result of karmas of previous births only. I will burn all these karmas at right time". This dream made the brahmin brave and developed firm devotion with Lord Dattatreya which helped him to be happy in his life. So, follow the words of Jagadguru Lord Dattatreya and definitely we will lead our lives in an excellent manner with Datta's blessings. :: HARI OM TATSAT JAI GURUDATTA ::subrahmanyam.bharathula
