Guest guest Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Dear Devotees of Dattatreya, Just as the Gayathri mantra shakthi was brought to the world by Vishwamitra, Athrimaharishi too brought the Datta-shakthi down to the Bhuvi(earthly plane) for the benefit of humans. It is because of the intense Tapas of this Maharishi that Dattatreya Avatara came into being in the first place.The seers thereupon created some Beejas with their own intermittent shakthis and these are used to invoke Datta-shakthi. In most of the Datta-mantras if one sees who is the Mantra-rishi(Mantra Drashta) it is found that the shabararupa of Parameshwara is the Mantra-Rishi. This means that these mantras are His proktha(or His utterances). This is the unique nature of Datta-mantras that Parameshwara Himself is the Mantra-Rishi for them all. The Dattatreya Beeja which is most powerful to invoke His energies instantly is Draam Beejam.. Dakshinaamurthi Beejam cha Raama Beejena samyutham. Draam Ityekaaksharam Gneyam Bindunaathakalaatmakam Dattasyaadi Mantrasyaa Datreya syaadimaswaraha Tatrastharesha samyuktham Bindunaada Kalaatmikam Yetat beejam Mayaaproktham Brahma-vishnu-shivaatmakam. Mantra Shastras says that these were the words of Lord Shiva to Parvathy verily. Dakshinamurthy is Gnaana swarupam and thus Dattatreya is also a Gnaanaswaroopa.Some say that it is Dattatreya who did a saguna Swaroopam(form manifestation) of Dakshinamurthy and then became the Guru of Sanaka and Sananda. Dattatreya and Shiva(Sathyam shivam sundaram--the Parabrahma Tatwam) in a soul-revelatory way are unified in "Dattatreya Hrudayam","Shandilyopanishad" and other Upanishads. In Shandilyopanaishad Chapter 3-- Sandilya questioned Atharvan thus: "From the Brahman that is OM, imperishable, actionless, beneficial, Sat (be-ness) only and supreme, how dissolution this universe arise ? How does it exist in It ? And how is it absorbed in It ? Please solve me this doubt." Atharvan replied: "The Supreme Brahman, the Truth, is the imperishable and the actionless. Then from the formless Brahman, three forms (or aspects) arose, (viz.,) Nishkala (partless), Sakala (with parts) and Sakala-Nishkala (with and without parts). That which is Satya, Vijnana and Ananda; That which is actionless, without any impurity, omnipresent, extremely subtle, having faces in every direction, undefinable and immortal – that is His Nishkala aspect. Maheshvara (the great Lord) who is black and yellow rules with Avidya, Mula-Prakriti or Maya that is red, white and black and that is co-existent with him. This is his Sakala-Nishkala aspect. Then the Lord desired (or willed) by his spiritual wisdom (thus): May I become many ? May I bring forth ? Then from this Person who was contemplating and whose desires are fulfilled, three letters sprang up. Three Vyahritis, the three-footed Gayatri, the three Vedas, the three Devas, the three Varnas (colours or castes) and the three fires sprang. That Supreme Lord who is endowed with all kinds of wealth, who is all pervading, who is situated in the hearts of all beings, who is the Lord of Maya and whose form is Maya; He is Brahma; He is Vishnu; He is Rudra; He is Indra; He is all the Devas; He is all the Bhutas (elements or beings); He only is before; He only is behind; He only is on our left; He only is on our right; He only is below; He only is above; He only is the all. That form of him as Dattatreya, who sports with his Sakti, who is kind to his devotees, who is brilliant as fire, resembling the petals or a red lotus and is of four hands, who is mild and shines sinlessly – this is His Sakala form." "Da"and "Daa" Beejas are Vyasaproktha whereas "Draam" beeja is Parameshwara Proktham. Vyaasaproktha Beeja gives Ihikasukhas(Mundane pleasures) whereas Shivaproktha Beeja grants Gnaanaraahityam. One might have heard Janma Raahityam--what is this Gnaanaraahityam?.. I will braoch upon this in my next posting. Unmatta,Mudita,Sahaja! Shreeram Balijepalli . Purity, Powers, Parabrahmam...
