From Swami Samaratha leelamruthamu Chapter 7, narrated by "Sri Sri Sri Vittal Babaji" we come to Know how Vishnu Datta a pure and innocent devotee of Lord Dattatreya, with the help of a Brahama Rakshasa gets Swami's Darshan and His blessings after undergoing many challenges and tests.
When Datta Swami asks him to express any wish, being a pure soul and not knowing what to ask, Vishnu Datta asks Swami to attend the annual death ceremony of his parent the next day and accept food at his home.The next day Datta Swami attends the ceremony and after all the rituals are done, while leaving Vishnu Datta's house DATTA Swami bestows Vishnu Datta a mantram and advises him to use it for the welfare of the man kind.
Vishnu Datta humbly accepts Datta Swami's advice.With the mantra power, he helps many people around him by showing them the right path.Rather, we can put it this way- Datta Swami used Vishnu Datta, a pure soul, as an instrument to guide and pull people out of suffering.The detailed stories of people who were benefited by Vishnu Datta is given in the holy book 'DATTA DARSHANAM' written by "SRI SRI SRI GANAPATHY SACHITANANDA SWAMIJI".
Few stories from the book Datta Darshanam:
1) Knowing that Vishnu Datta is curing and helping people who are in need, a family approaches him with a problem.The parents had a boy, who never cared for anything and always behaved weird. Vishnu Datta listens to them patiently and asks the parents to leave and says he wants to talk with the boy all alone!When asked the boy the reason for his weird behavior, the boy then speaks as a very wise man(here the soul is aware of its previous births) and humbly accepts before Vishnu Datta that he doesn't want to get trapped in the cycle of attachments. Vishnu Datta explains the boy how to Love everyone, but, still be detached.The boy understands this truth and agrees to behave and be normal.The parents thank Vishnu Datta and leave happily.
2) Vishnu Datta saves a girl from a ghost, who lives with her and troubles her (in the absence of her husband) taking the form of her husband.
Just two stories from the book are mentioned in brief, so that all of you may develop interest to read the divine book and get benefited and understand Datta Swami's grace and love for his children. Once we read the book we will be left with immense happiness.Vishnu Datta, as per Datta Swami's advice helped many people in many ways.This is the Guru Seva he has done to Datta Swami. As it is said -Service to mind kind is service to the Almighty and also Service rendered to the disciples/devotees of Guru is Service rendered to Guru.
The one who does pure and selfless seva/service to others will always have the blessings and grace of DATTA Swami. Due to the purity in thought and action and the seva they provided to people around them, the couple Vishnu Datta and Susheela Amma take re-birth as Appala Raju Sharma and Sumangali Sumathi Maharani. In this birth, the couple had been blessed with two boys, of which, one was lame and the other blind, as per their Karmic account .In spite of begin blessed with disabled children the couple never left the righteous path and never were disheartened, but they completely surrender themselves to God.
This is a beautiful moral that we all have to learn from this: What ever challenges we are facing in our day to day let us leave it at the feet of Datta Swami and let us surrender ourselves completely at His Lotus feet and let us do our part of role perfectly with honesty and love.
According to their past karma and the service they rendered as Vishnu Datta And Susheela Amma and present life karma, Datta Swami chooses them as His parents for his 2nd incarnation as Sreepada Sreevallabha. After the birth of Sreepada Swami, the couple thoroughly enjoy their parenthood till Sreepada Swami reaches the age of 16.
One thing that we must understand here is that, due to some karmic account they were first blessed with disabled children. But, the couple never complained nor lost trust in God.Also, the strength to face and accept disabled children could also be due to the great self less service they provided in their previous birth and due to the selfless service they provided in their previous birth, Lord Himself chose them as His parents and gives them beautiful memories of His childhood and immense Happiness.
This is all about Vishnu Datta and Susheela Amma and their re-births as Appala Raju Sharma and Sumathi Maharani from Sreepada Sreevallabha leelavaibhavam as per my understanding.
