Guest guest Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Namaskar...jaigurudevadatta... AVADHOOTHA CHINTHANA SHREE GURUDEVADATTA This year, shree paadavallabha jayanthi is celebrating on 3rd Sep, 2008. Many programmes are of special pujas are performing at main datta kshetras like Pithapuram, Ganagapuram, Kuruvapuram etc., Shree Paada shree vallabha (the first incarnation of Lord dattatreya) The birth story of Shreepada vallabha: In a village named Pithapuram located near the sacred Godavari River, in East Godavari District in the State of Andhra Pradesh, India, there lived a pious couple, of the Brahmin caste, devoted to Lord Dattatreya, Appala Raju Sarma and Sumati by name. To this pious couple was born Lord Dattatreya as Sreepada Sreevallabha to check the evil ways and strengthen the righteous forces in man. He was the third surviving child of the couple. Since the child born had all the divine features besides celestial radiance, it was fittingly named as Sree pada. This was the first manifestation of Lord Datta in this age of 'Kali'. As per the tradition, Sreepada's "Upanayanam" (investiture with the sacred thread) was performed when he was of eight years old, and from that very moment, being the divine incarnate, instead of learning from a "Guru" (Teacher), started imparting Vedic knowledge to his pupils. At the appropriate time, Sreepada, blessed his two brothers, who were infirm from birth, with his infinite grace and made them normal human beings. Then he granted his Parents, the vision of his divine form. Then taking leave of his Parents, he renounce all worldly ties and christened himself as "Sreepada Sreevallabha". He visited various holy places and settled in a place called "Kurupuram" on the banks of River Krishna. Here, pleased with the devotion of a washer-man, he granted him a boon to be born in a Royal family and reign as a King in his next birth. Thereafter, he also advised a poor Brahmin lady, who was about to end her life by drowning in the Krishna, that she shall be blessed with a noble son equal to him in spiritual stature, in her next life if she spends her life in the worship of Lord Shiva. To keep up his promise, Sreepada Sreevallabha decided to cast-off the physical body by entering into the river Krishna and he willed his own birth once again. However, unseen, even to this day, the good lord, has been granting wishes to those who serve him and contemplate his divine name: "Digambara, digambara, Sreepada vallabha digambara" Digambara, Digambara, Avadhutachintana digambara" Holy padukas of Shree pada vallbha at Kuruvapur This year the birth star of Shree paadavallabha "CHITTA" nakshatra is coinciding this year also. This is a rare coincidence and gives a wonderful favourable tapophala to the sadhaks of lord Dattareya. One can recite sidha Mangala stotra or can perform the parayana of shree gurucharitra/shree paada vallabha charitaamrutham etc., One can recite the japa/namasmarana of Lord dattatreya as many number of times can perform with the mantras like "DIGAMBARA DIGAMBARA SHREE PAADA VALLBHA DIGAMBARA" OR "SHREE PAADA RAAJAM SHARANAM PRAPADHYE" which gives the experience of the presence of the lord dattatreya to the sadhaks of these mantras. It is true, true and true in confirming that, Lord Dattatreya will adopt his servants as his children and give all the things whatever asked by his children. He will always think about his servants rather than showing his leelas. He wants to spread the power and keerthi of his servants to the nook and corner of this Universe.
