Dattatreya, also known as Dattaguru, is a monk and revered Hindu God. He is considered to be an avatar of the three Hindu Gods Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. There are different images of the Saint, depicted in various texts. Some show him as having three heads and six hands, representing all the three major Hindu Gods. Some show him as always surrounded by four dogs and a cow. The four dogs symbolically represent the four Vedas (Rig, Yajur, Sama and Atharvana Vedas). Cows represent the mother earth that nourishes all living beings without any difference. The book cover picture shows the simple image with the background having multiple faces and hands.This book is an attempt to explain the original verses with my explanations and comments. It is important to note that the verses are still truly relevant and very much applicable to our lives. You may read one verse in a day and meditate on the content in your meditation time.
