Guruji: On Datta (Dattātreya) and His Inner Meaning





Guruji:

Datta is energy of āmnāya pūjā.
Anasūyā is mother of Datta and she gave the power of Brahmā to Datta.
Datta is seen in Śrīcakra in the form of Brahmī, who is four-faced, but only three faces are visible in front.

Bhūḥ, bhuvaḥ and suvaḥ in the Gāyatrī mantra are Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Rudra respectively and they are the aṃśas of Datta.

The four dogs that appear with Datta are the four Vedas.

Datta is the guru for the 64 tantras, 64,000 upa-tantras and for upaṇa tantras — Dakṣiṇāmūrti Tantra, Datta Tantra.

There is no difference between Dakṣiṇāmūrti and Dattātreya; only in pūjā vidhānam there is slight difference.

The mukoṭam for Datta is:
“om dram dram om”
“dram aham aham dram”

da means jananī,
ra means sṛṣṭi,
ā means sthitiḥ,
m means layam.
