Srisaila Kshetra
( A powerful kshetra of Lord Shiva, Goddess Amba & Lord Dattatreya)
Srisailam is a holy Saivite temple situated in the top of Nallamalai hills in the Kurnool district of Andhra pradesh state. Srisailam is not just a temple but akshetram as well as a Mukthi Sthalam.
This kshetra is indirectly connected to Lord Dattatreya. Shri Nrusimhasaraswathy swamy(second incarnation of Lord Dattatreya) explained the importance of this kshetra to his disciple Tantuka and also closed hisavathara in the Krishna river of this kshetra. Even today many devotees of Lord Dattatreya are visiting this kshetra to have darshan of Kadalivan and Lord Maheshwara.
In Sree Guru Charitra the importance of Srisaila kshetra was mentioned in chapter no 43.
Shri Guru Nrusimha saraswathy swamy (second incarnation of Lord Dattatreya) closed hisavathara in the Krishna river of Srisaila kshetra. He called all the disciples and said; “Now I wish live secretly. Therefore I intend to go to ShriShaila. Still I shall be staying at Ganagapur. ShriGuru went to Patal Ganga, flowing at the base of Shri Shaila, He asked his disciples to prepare a flower-seat and said, “I have to go to Mallikarjuna onShri Shaila on the other side of the river.” The disciples prepared a nice seat of flowers of Shevanti, lotus, malati, kanher etc. on the leaf of kardali and placed it on the riverside.
