GURU DATTATREYA OF GANAGAPUR

The parents with tearful eyes pleaded to take up the responsibility of the family burden, pointing out many disabled and deformed and disease borne brothers. With a view to relieving the parents, he cast a benign look on the victims. And lo! all turned into Bhimas and Manmathas at once. By a mere single look! Infinite is the atmic power that can even sink the Himalayas underneath the sea! Taking leave of the parents he went on a pilgrimage, promising to come back if needed. He toured throughout the length and breadth of India visiting all the kshetras and demonstrating miracles to give relief to the afflicted. His spiritual ministrations benefited countless persons, afflicted with many kinds of maladies. He turned himself into a mobile miracle machine that succored thousands. Here is one - At a place called Kuvarpur, he found a lady trying to commit suicide, for there was none to take of her imbecile son and herself, living in miserable condition. Moved by her long pathetic story, he looked at him kindly, anon he became a great pundit of infinite knowledge.He blessed her to beget a son as great as Shri Shripadavallabha when she desired not knowing the man before her was the same holy Shri Shripada Srivallabha. Later this place became very popular as a center of Dutta cult founded by the beneficiary. This incarnation ended only to begin another brighter one that indeed is the cause of the emergence of Ganagapur temple.
