Meaning
Dattatreya is the Trimurti (Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh) embodying all three gunas (sattva, rajas, tamas). He is the incarnation of the three gunas, the lord of three worlds. Wise is the one who recognizes his tri-guna form. Datta is the same inside and outside, everywhere. He was born from Anasuya's womb to establish the six philosophical systems. In essence, he is the entire universe. Datta alone rescues those who surrender to him.
Benefits
Reciting Datta Aarti brings the guru's grace, spiritual progress, removal of negative energies and afflictions, and mental peace. Especially beneficial on Thursdays.
