[Shri Bhaktananda asked: Blessings for pranapratishta: Dear Shri Datta Swamiji Maharaj Please accept my humble prostration to Your holy feet. Dear Maharaj You have been such an inspiration to my life. I have learned so much from Your videos and website. You have taught me how to persevere through difficulty and challenges, how to keep walking in spite of what may not work, how to love and how to be compassionate. Happy Guru Poornima. All my love to You Shri Swamiji. We are finally welcoming the last of the deities to our Ashram called Mohanji Dattatapovan Ashram. After this the temple will be complete in terms of the deities we would like to worship. We are welcoming Shri Varahi Devi, Shri Pratangira Devi, Shri Lakshmi Devi, Shri Bhairava, Shri Hanuman and the main deities of our Temple Lord Dattatreya and Shri Anagha Devi. We are so excited to welcome Lord Dattatreya. Our Ashram is the only Dattatreya temple in South Africa and we are trying to help spread Dattatreya Sampradaya here. This is not easy but we surrender to Lord Dattatreya and are just working the best we can. Please bless us that we are successful in the pranapratishta of the deities. We will be inserting a parad mercury spine into Lord Dattatreya and Shri Anagha Devi, which is a long difficult process. You are Lord Dattatreya Himself. We ask Your special blessings during this time. I know the devotees at ashram would be more motivated knowing You give Your blessings as. If there is any advice You may have for us, please share it with us. Thank You again for making such a huge difference in South Africa with Your teachings. All my love to Yours holy feet, Your son Bhaktananda]
Swami replied:- God Dattatreya will certainly guide you in every step of your sacred spiritual work.
