Sivananada Ashram, Ahmedabad celebrated this memorable day with Mahamantra chants and holy Hari Nama Kirtan. 

Sri Dttatreya Jayanti (Dec 16, 2013) on holy of Dattatreya Jayanti, a grand Laksharchana, Pooja, Sri Dattabavani chanting and Sri Datta Yajna was performed at Sri Dattatreya Temple of the ashram.

 Lord Dattatreya - He was a supreme yogi. Like Dakshinamurti, He was the Adi-Guru, the primal world teacher. The name or word ‘Dattatreya’ is constituted of two terms, ‘Datta’ and ‘Atreya’. In Sanskrit, ‘Datta’ means one who is bestowed as a gift and ‘Atreya’ is derived from the name of a great sage called Atri. The son of Atri is Atreya. A descendent of Atri also is Atreya. One, who is bestowed as a divine child on the great sage Atri, by the Gods Brahma, Vishnu and Siva themselves, is Dattatreya. Tradition holds that he was the divine child of sage Atri born to his famous consort Anasuya, the great queen of chastity, Anasuya Devi.
