The power of Datta nama: Just, simple recitation of name “DATTA” is enough to burn away all the sins of a me Who recites datta's name, meditate upon him and worship him will be blessed with both bhakthi in abundance and Mukthi in the end. The name Dattatreya symbolises the idea of unity in diversity, connects the people of different creeds and synthesizes various differences found in the society. In the Datta sampradaya, Dattatreya is worshipped as “SADGURU”. Dattatreya's love to his bhakthas is unbounded and once surrendered to him, every care of them is his not only in this birth but till the end ie., SALVATION. Because of this rinanubhandha or previous attachments only many devotees who were not at all concerned with him initially have done so much service after they had been drawn to him. The name of Dattatreya is a safe boat (Taaraka) that enables a devotee to cross the ocean of life with success

TESTING NATURE OF DATTATREYA: Lord dattatreya have the habit of testing the steadfastness and devotion of his devotees in various forms. He will test the intensity of devotion of the devotees. He may appear very ugly or he may be engaged in despicable practices. If we can stand the severity of his tests, our request is simple for him. There is no doubt about it. Who worship lord datta with dedicative devotion, following the 16 courtesis of worship and offer sandal paste, flowers, incence, light and garlands and who propitiate him with a variety of instrumental music, with dances, processions and worship of Brahmins, they will not suffer any sort of deficiencies either in this birth or in the next.

DATTA TATWA: The Sandilyopanishad clearly declares that lord Dattatreya is the supreme reality and is the cause of everything that is created. It states that “the supreme Brahman performed penance which was of the nature of knowledge, and desiring to become many, assumed the form of Dattatreya. From that form the three letters A,U,M came out, the three mystical names Bhuh, Bhuvah and Svah the lined Gayathri, the three Vedas Rig, Yajur and Sama, the three Gods Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara and the three fires Garhapatya, Ashavaneeya and Dakshina. Acoording to Avadhootopanishad, an Avadhootha is one who is beyond all Varna and Ashrama, a Yogin deeply centred in the self-brahman, one free from the bondage of hope and despair one who is pure in the beginning, in the middle and in the end of his life, one who is always merged in bliss, without a desire, with pure and truthful speech, one who has made his mind pure through meditation and Samadhi.In this kind of Avadhutha, the meditator, the meditation and the object of meditation become one. In Datta sampradaya, Dattatreya is worshipped as an Avadhootha.
