Lord Dattatrey was a divine manifestation of Mythology. Sripad Srivallabh was an ascetic and he preserved asceticism during his incarnation. Sri Narsinha Saraswati was also an ascetic. He also preserved the religious order of asceticism. In the year 14^th or 15^th century, there was a serious calamity due to Muslim invasion in India. During this transitory period Sri Narsinha Saraswati, by his actions advised Brahmins to carry on the duties as prescribed in the Shastras⁴². Sriguru gave relief to the lowest category of the people from their misery and directed them towards the devotional path. He even enlightened Muslims and the rulers of their period. Later on in the 18^th century Sriguru manifested himself in the form of Sri Swami Samarth. This was the transition period of British invasion in India, and hence Sri Swami Samarth manifested himself in the most unusual form of an accomplished ascetic.

Therefore, during the period of his incarnation he exerted more importance on good conduct and devotion than the duties in regard to the four castes and four stages of life. Sriguru protected people belonging to all religions like Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Parsis etc. from the three sorts of affliction viz. psychical or corporeal, physical or material and from fate. He then explained to them the secret meaning of religions. He also made successful attempts to lead them on to the path of devotion. These different incarnations of Lord Dattatrey pervades everywhere, are very dynamic in nature and prepared for the upliftment of all living beings.
