3 notes from our sourcesNotes from our sources
In what order should the Dattatreya Deepdan lamps be lit?
After the Sankalpa, light two ghee lamps for Ganesha and the family's Kula Shakti, then the Kula Bhairava coconut lamp, then the 24 triangle lamps one by one in a clockwise direction while reciting Deepdan mantras or Dattatreya's name.
Why is Lord Dattatreya described as Smartagami, and what does that mean for this ritual?
Smartagami means "attainable by mere remembrance" — Dattatreya, the Supreme Guru of the Kaula, Vaishnava, Shaiva, and Nath traditions, is said to become fully present wherever this Deepdan is performed with sincere remembrance.
What is Aghor Amavasya/Tara Amavasya, and who should observe it?
This day is extremely significant for anyone associated with the Tantra tradition — Nath, Kaula, or Shakta lineages, independent practitioners without a Guru tradition, or even those worshipping a Supreme Power through Sattvic Tantric methods.
