    Hi Shantha,

    Please post more information on “Lord Dattatreya” if u can get the same or have any idea.. Like the stotras n their meanings.. I feel it is more important to pray Dattatreya as he is a combination of Lord brahma, vishnu and shiva and there could be less differences between smarthas, madhwas and iyengars if all prays him.. :-)

    Isn’t it true..?

    Thanks,
    Adithi.

    Hi Adithi,
    Yes Lord Dattatreya is really powerful. There are many books available on Dattatreya along with shlokas and their meanings. Please check in book stores for the same.

    In the town of Sagara, what is the main vaishnava deity?

    Hi Bhagavan,
    I know that the people of Sagara are ardent devotees of Sri Sridhara Swamiji and Durga. There is a temple in Ikkeri dedicated to Aghoreshwara and a temple dedicated to Rameshwara in Keledi. I am not aware of any other temple in Sagara. Please let me know if you come across this information.
