Importance of Dattajayanti


Shree Dattatreya was born at the dawn of the Margashirsha Pournima (Full Moon Day of Margashirsha month). This day is celebrated across the nation as the ‘Dattajayanti’. Under the loving care and guidance of Sadguru Aniruddha Bapu, every year, ‘Datta Jayanti Utsav’ is organized at New English School, Bandra. (Shree Harigurugram)





In the second edition of ‘ShrimadPurushartha Granthraj’ titled ‘Premapravas’, Sadguru Shree Aniruddha has written, ‘Dattaguru is my everlasting Japa. Therein lies everything of mine and it is also my unending chant’.

Moreover, the 31st chapter of the sacred book, 'Matruvatsalya Vindanam' penned by Sadguru Shri Aniruddha, recites the glory of Shree Dattatreya as below.

Adimata Chandika says, “O Dattatreya! May you be the one putting an end to all, who are devoid of the holy faith and hence, assist Parmatma. As you are the divine and pure light that radiated at the time of my first vibration or Spanda became active before the manifestation of the Parmatma in the form of Omkara, and so you innately becomes his Protector.”

In the very same ‘Matruvatsalya Vindanam’, he has also written, ‘Gurubhakti means Shree Dattatreya Bhakti, is the very heart of Shree Dattamangala Chandika and will be the only saviour for humans in the Kaliyuga. And therefore, the auspicious day of Dattajayanti holds utmost importance to kindle Shri Guru Bhakti in every person’s heart, and it is this very day that bestows happiness and contentment upon every Shraddhavan.
