Lord Dattatreya, a combined incarnation of Brahma, Vishnu, and Maheshwara, is revered as the supreme guru. His worship brings wisdom, detachment, and relief from planetary afflictions.
The abhishekam involves offerings of milk, curd, and flowers, while chanting the Dattatreya Stotram. The ritual invokes blessings for spiritual progress and liberation from karmic burdens.
“दत्तात्रेयं महायोगिनं जगत्पालं अनाथकम् ।
योगिनामपि योगेशं नत्वा मोक्षमवाप्नुयात् ॥”
In Hyderabad and Secunderabad, devotees perform this pooja on Thursdays, Guru Purnima, or when facing obstacles due to planetary doshas. It is especially helpful for those on a spiritual path or experiencing emotional instability.
The grace of Dattatreya guides devotees towards peace of mind, clarity of thought, and liberation from cycles of suffering.
