Guest guest Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 DIGAMBARA DIGAMBARA || GURU DATTATREYA DIGAMBARA|| DIGAMBARA DIGAMBARA || AVADHOOTHA CHINTHANA DIGAMBARA|| Dattopasana or worship of Shri Dattatreya is a cult of sharing with others, of considering others as equals, of showing self-confidence and sense of equanimity with the superiors, of offering to others and not grabing or appropriating. It is the cult of contentedness, of willing abandoning, of self-denial and above all of thinking of others more than of the self. According to the words of Rangavadhoot Swamy (disciple of Vasudevanand Saraswathy Swamy) , the only way to conquer "Kama Krodhadi" desires, anger and the like, to be free from Soka, Mohadi, sorrow, infatuation and the like or to eliminate raagadweshaadi attachmens, jealousy and others is to remember Lord Datta and repeat his name. When should one repreat the names of Datta? Shri Rangavadhooth guru says " repeat the name of Shri Dattatreya in the morning and evening at any time or while moving or bathing, eating or working so much so that one repeats his name even while asleep. Oherwise as said in the following verses, knowledge is vast while life is short, full of obstacles. So just as the Swan makes a judicious choice between water and milk, one should worship what is the essence of he whole. ANANTHSHASTRAM BAHU VEDITAVYAM SVALPASTATHAYUR BAHAVASCHA VIGHNAH YATSARABHOOTAM TADUPASITAVYAM HANSO YATHA KHIRAMIVAM BUMISHRAM SVAASHE SVAASHE DATTA-NAAMA SMARAATMAN. Repeat the name of Datta with every breath and have the blessings of Jagadguru Datta Maharaj. :: avadhootha chinthana shree gurudeva datta :: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
