Lord Dattatreya is the incarnation of Lord Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva in one single form. He incarnated on this earth in this form to relieve people from the clutches of ignorance and light their hearts with the light of wisdom and spiritual joy. Datta is regarded as Adi Guru, a very ancient teacher. It is believed that his worship can bless you with supreme knowledge, sound intelligence, and divine wisdom, while also diffusing karma. Kanth Garu will perform a Dattatreya homa at 6:00 PM.
