Marathi Devotional Song

Title - Dhanya Dhanya Ho Pradakshina...

Dattatreya is a Hindu deity encompassing the trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, collectively known as Trimurti. The name Dattatreya can be divided into two words - "Datta" (meaning given) and "Atreya" referring to the sage Atri his physical father.

Dattatreya was born to the sage Atri who had been promised by Parameshvara (the Almighty) that he, Parameshvara, would be incarnated as his son.Some Hindu sects familiar with the trinity also attribute Dattatreya's incarnation as of all the three- Vishnu, Shiva and Brahma. This is just one of the many legends related to the birth of Lord Dattatreya. Others suggest a more mystical origin of Dattatreya. Some of the sources claim that he was born in Kashmir jungles near the sacred Amarnath.
