Name: Vallabhapuram.
God: Lord Sri Pada Sri Vallabha.
Location: Vallabhapuram, Mahbubnagar, Andhrapradesh.


Vallabhapuram is a shrine of Lord Sri Pada Sri Vallabha, and is located in Andhra Pradesh, India. This temple was built and organised by Guru Sri Vittalananda Saraswathi Maharaj (also known as Sri Vital Baba Ji), and he runs the ashram. There are temples relevant to the gods "Dattatreya Swamy", "Kala Bhairava" and "Gayatri Mata".
The shrine is on the bank of the Krishna River, close to the border of Andhra Pradesh. On the opposite bank of the river lies Kurvapur, a place in Karnataka state where Lord Sri Pada Sri Vallabha used to meditate under a banyan tree.





Sri Vallabha is the first and foremost incarnation (avatar) of jagad guru Sri Dattatreya. This took place in 1320 AD at Srikshetra Pthapuram. Sri Vallabha is most powerful and capable in destroying the difficulties, losses, miseries and obstacles occurring in the developments of his dedicated devotees. The aim of Sripada Srivallabha's incarnation is to bless maha siddhas, maha yogis and to uplift dharma through them in the universe.

Sri Vallabha was born in the early hours of Ganesh Chathurdhi in 'Chitra' star, in Simha (Leo) Lagna and Tula (Libra) raasi. As an incarnation of Sree Datta, his feet were marked with all auspicious features, and he bears a worthy name as Sri Vallabha. It was further noted that his horoscope should not be given to anyone and that it will reach in course of time through Akshya Kumar of Tripura belonging to Jainism. All that would happen according to divine plan and it would reach Pithapuram as a part of divine play. When Sri Vallabha was born, a cobra with three hoods was holding its hoods as an umbrella wherever he was kept for eighteen days.









Sri Pada Sri Vallabha came out of the mother's womb as a dazzling illumination (Jyothi). Sow Sumati Maharani fainted immediately after he was born. Auspicious musical notes from musical instruments were heard from the labour room. After some time an invisible voice (aakasha vani)warned all people to leave the room. Four vedas, eighteen puraanas, great persons arrived in the shape of brilliant lights to Great Sreepada. Sacred vedic mantras were heard outside the room. Silence spread after some time.Sreepada Sree vallabha the first dattavataar or incarnation of sri dattaguru was now born in pithapuram and would save the world with his shakti sri Anagha Laxmi.

In Vallabhapuram we can see Dattatreya ,RenukaMata, Saibaba, Anagamata Temples. Coming to Dattatreya temple the people will say that if you have any kind of wish then if you can do 108 rounds for the datta temple and pray with great emotion then definitely your wish will come true. Here from 1999 Guruji Sri Sri Sri Swami Vithalananda Saraswathi Maharaj has been living and developing the Ashramam.





Here they will ( do Annadanam ) Provide free Food for all people who ever come to visit those temples, and Guruji will give his blessings to the people. They will celebrate all festivals like Dattajayanti, Gurupournima, MahaShivaratri, Etc. The other side of the vallabhapuram their is other place called Kuruvapuram in between these two places their is a river called Krishna.
