LORD DATTATREYA THE DIVINE TRINITY
Dattatreya, or Sri Datta, as he is also referred to, is a
Hindu deity who is also regarded as an aspect of the Divine Trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. The name "Dattatreya" is derived from two Sanskrit words, Datta (which means "given") and Atreya (which refers to the
sage Atri, Sri Datta’s biological father). In the Nath tradition, Dattatreya is considered to be an avatar or reincarnation of Lord Shiva and is revered as the
Adi-Guru or the First Teacher of the Nath sect of followers. Dattatreya first emerged as a teacher of Yoga, with clear Ta***ic traits. But later, he was accepted and absorbed into many other cults and sects, even including the more conventional Vaishnavism. He is also considered more of a God today, than a teacher.
Today, this deity is worshiped by a multitude of Hindus from all walks of life, spanning the entire globe. He is believed to be the author of the Tripura Rahasya, a treatise on Advaita Vedanta, which was given to Parashurama.
Dattatreya is regarded as one of the most ancient deities. The earliest references to him can be found as far back as in the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. The Dattatreya Upanishad, which is part of the Atharva Veda,
describes him as variously taking the form of a child, a madman and even a demon, in order to help his followers attain moksha (liberation). In the earliest traditions, he was portrayed with only one head.
Sri Datta Mala Mantram is a very powerful mantra to invoke all the energy centers inside one's own body
by calling out for Sri Guru Dattatreya and realizing he takes form of All Mantra, All Yanta & All Ta**ra.
