The 24 Gurus of Dattatreya ~ Advaita-Vedanta

A reading for meditation of the 24 Gurus of Dattatreya -
translated by Pandit Rajmani Tigunait. 


Dattatreya is considered to be the incarnation of the Trinity-
Brahma, Vishnu and Siva – a Trimurti Avatar. The Philosophy
propounded by Lord Dattatreya is found in the ‘Avadhuta Gita’
which is a Vedantic text expounding non-dualism. Dattatreya, in
the eleventh chapter of Srimad Bhagavata lists his 24 Gurus and
considers himself a simple student of the whole creation.
 The young Dattatreya is famous in the Hindu texts as the
one who started with nothing and without teachers, yet reached
self-awareness by observing nature during his Sannyasi
wanderings, and treating these natural observations as his twenty
four teachers. This legend has been emblematic in the Hindu
belief, particularly among artists and Yogis, that ideas,
teachings and practices come from all sources, that self effort
is a means to learning.
