The literal meaning of the term Dattatreya translates to Datta Given and Atreya son of sage Atri suggesting the one who has given himself away as the son of sage Atri. He thereby has the combined qualities of the Trinity. He is considered as the Guru of all Gurus. Dattatreya mantra is very simple. It can be chanted by anyone. There is no restriction whatsoever whether it can be chanted by women and so on. Dattatreya is a highly benign form of Lord who is easily pleased and so merciful. Therefore, he shall be highly pleased to see little acts of devotion done with sincerity. At other times, to prevent problems arising out of destiny and for spiritual progress, an average individual or seeker in the primary stage should chant the Name of his Kuladevata Family Shri as much as is possible.
