GURU DATTATREYA OF GANAGAPUR

ORIGIN OF DATTA SAMPRADAYA

Bhagawan Sri Krishna said, rather in a vociferous tone amidst the din and dust of battle that for the suppression of adharma and preservation of righteousness, he takes birth on and on. And he did by his personal appearance often, or through some of his potent amsas, who carried out the divine injunction in the roles of saints, acharyas, pravaktas etc. It so happened that at a particular period in the Kritayuga there was subversion of dharma by certain perverted brains, who brought incalculable harm by misinterpreting the holy scriptures to perpetuate their vested interests. The tree of Chaturvarna started withering due to the cankerous disease that gnawed at the basic tenants There arose then some evil sampradayas and blotted out the glory of the hoary culture. The vedic dharma was held up to ridicule and hence the emergence of Varnasankramana and its sinister disasters that enveloped thick and fast. God then decided to come down to restore the order for Viswasreyas, when came the prayer by Sage Atri for the boon of a son.
