24 Gurus of Dattatreya
The Air to Dattatreya was a symbol of pure consciousness. Pervading everywhere, yet uncontaminated, carrying fragrance, but not being the fragrance, it teaches detachment, never staying in any one place, always moving. I became a grandmother last month – Anasuyaa which mean “without envy” and that introduced me to yet another Hindu avatar Dattatreya, the son of Anasuyaa and Sage Atri. Dattatreya is regarded as an incarnation of all three – Vishnu, Shiva and Brahma. While his birthplace is regarded as Mahur, Maharashtra some sources claim that he was born in Kashmir jungles near Amarnath. Guru Gobing Singh writes in the Dasam Granth that Dattatreya was an incarnation of Rudra. Dattatreya is the subject of the Dattatreya Purana.
