LORD Sri Dattatreya and Ambaa

[Guest guest]

Pranams Nair ji,

 

Thanks for your post. I am hearing for the first time a Female Saint belonging

to this order. Such saints must be really an exception with such a state of

strong Mind as they belong to the other gender with bare body.

 

After writing the mail on Lord Dattatreya, my friend happened to came to my

house from Dubai. He was accompanied by his friend and while this person was

discussing, he touched on Akkalkot Maharaj -- who is also Lord Dattatreya. He

promised me to send a very Rare photocopy of a book on Lord Dattatreya which was

printed before 80 years. I hope to receive this within few days and let me try

to post few mails on lord D from this book. I had a good book on Lord D by Najan

which is currently missing from my collections.

 

Talking on this Order of saints, Reminds me of a miracle performed at salem by

HH Swayamprakasha -- GuruDev of HH Shantananda of Skandashram fame.

 

When his Gurudev ordered a cave which was a very small cell with no air movement

to be closed , sealed and not to be opened for any reasons, HH the Sishya obeyed

the orders faithfully with the help of few devotees. Soon this News spread like

a wild fire -- as the Talk of the Town and touched the Ears of the then

Collector of Salem, who ordered the Cave to be re-opened again, as he observed ,

it was illegal to do an Act like this. when the battalion accompanied by the

collector opened the Cave they all were amazed and surprised to see None

present there.

 

Similarly HH Swayamprakasha was once invited by a Non beliver for a Bhikasha for

which Meat preparations were extensively done, to poke fun of him. When HH

reached the entrance of the house, he smiled at the Host and uttered that the

same preparations would Take care of him and moved away. The host after

feasting, had an uncontrollable dysentry with blood and passed away the same

night.

 

Such is our Punya Bhumi, where every dust of earth becomes Holy, due to the

barren feet of Such great Saints of Bharath.

Namaste Ganapathyji.

 

Your mention of Lord Sri Dattatreya and other avadhutAs prompts me to

narrate this incident which occurred during my recent visit to

Kanyakumari.

 

After having darshan of our Kumari and marvelling at the glittering

stud on her nose at Kanyakumari temple, I sauntered

over to a ramshackle KAli temple at almost land's end from where

Malayalam kIrtans of Chottanikkara dEvi were emanating. An old

Malayali priest worshipping a fierce idol of KAli MA greeted me.

When I rose after prostrating before the idol and took prasad, my

eyes fell on the photograph of an old woman on the wall and enquired

with the priest who it was. He said she was a still-living avadhUti,

about 235 years old, with whom he had spent about thirtyfive years.

She is fondly called Mayamma. He gave me a photograph of the lady

after performing pUja, which showed her almost naked surrounded by

several dogs. I asked him where I could meet her. He said he didn't

know her present whereabouts but I could make her out anywhere as she

is always surrounded by a herd of dogs.

 

I am now told that Lord Sri Dattatreya is also accompanied by dogs

and that they are the vEdAs.

 

Do you know anything about this avadhUti? Do the stories you have

referred to mention this avadhUti mA? Is it true that the dogs

represent vEdAs? Any information in this regard, I am sure, will be

of utmost interest to most of us

 

PraNAms.
