Lord Sripada Srivallabha is the first incarnation of Jagadguru Sri Dattatreya.
In the words of Sripada himself, “Undoubtedly, I am Datta. As you have a body, I also came with a body to enable you to recognize Me. But I am formless and without attributes. I will constantly take care of the welfare of those who adore Me with pure devotion, who cast all their burdens on Me, and seek total surrender from Me.”
Sripada Srivallabha blesses his disciples with the same results as the worship of Sri Dattatreya as Sripada is verily Sri Dattatreya himself.
Sri Sripada Srivallabha stands as a paragon of excellence among incarnations. His incarnation was very much necessary for those whose hearts were polluted by the dark age of Kali, for those whose actions were conditioned by destiny, for those who live by sinful money, and for all the human beings in the Kali Yuga. He is a great treasure of compassion, a personification of ‘Punya’ (good deeds), and a person with a very holy history. He is admired in the world as an expression of the highest spirituality. No one is equal to Sri Sripada Srivallabha in removing all kinds of devotees’ impurities, and imparting them peace when they visit, remember, worship, or meditate upon Him.

Sripada is superior to Dwaadasa Aadityas.
He is an embodiment of all deities. His incarnation is formless.

Presence of Sripada Srivallabha at Kuruvapur
Sripada Srivallabha lived like an Avadhut (ascetic). Sripada Srivallabha promised his disciples that he will continue his presence at Kuravapur even after closing his Avathara. Many instances are there, even after Anthardhaan , Shripad Shrivallabh Swamy is blessing his devotees unboundedly. Gurucharitra gives an instant of how even after Anthardhaan, Shripad Shrivallabh helped one of his devotees “Vallabhesha”.
As announced by Srīpāda, a Samsthan (temple and place of worship) got established at his birth place in Pithapuram.
At the beginning of 20th Century Sri Vasudevananda Saraswati who was well known as “Tembay Swamy” came to Pithapuram during his travels in the country. He announced Pithapuram as the birth place of Sree Sripada Srivallabha. Till that day, this fact was unknown to residents of Pithapuram village and the whole Telugu People of the country.
It was slowly developed through the relentless activity of Sri Sajjanagada Ramaswamy since 1966.
Even now also, many devotees are experiencing the presence of Swamy at Kuruvapur kshetra. The kshetra is a yogic place, calm and cool. No connections with outer world (baahya prapancha). Many Sadhus, Yogis and Sadhaks are coming and performing Shree Gurucharitra parayana, Sadhana.
They are experiencing a new type of vibrations and feel in their hearts. The team of this site SREEDATTAVAIBHAVAM also experienced the blessings of Swamy in their lives. No letters are there to write….No words are there to tell…..except recollection of memories, vibrations and experiences with falling tears on cheeks.
