- In this Guru Purnima dharma talk, Dr. Robert Svoboda shares stories of Dattatreya exemplifying how everything is the Guru.
In this special Hindu story time episode of Living With Reality introduced by Paula Crossfield, Dr. Svoboda tells dharma stories of Dattatreya, who was said to be an emanation of the Trinity, and who first developed the spiritual path called Aghora, with Lord Shiva as his first disciple. Exploring these colorful, bhav-steeped, timeless lilas, Dr. Svoboda shares the innate, intuitive wisdom of Dattatreya - who learned from 24 gurus who didn’t actually know they were his guru. Jai Gurudev.
“Dattatreya-Datta + treya-he is the one who has given up the three. The three being: the three Maha Gunas - Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas… the coverings the keep us from recognizing the supreme reality.” - Dr. Robert Svoboda
Celebrating Guru Purnima: Dattatreya Story Time
Invoking the deities on the morning of Guru Purnima this July 23rd 2021, Dr. Svoboda begins the unique digital dharma session in prayer and reverence. From this place of grounded spaciousness on the Hindu holiday for honoring the guru, he invites us to listen to stories of Guru Dattatreya, outlining the esoteric wisdom in his cosmic creation and surrounding lilas. Illuminating Dattatreya as Shiva’s guru and originator of the path of Aghora, Dr. Svoboda sheds light on this radiant emanation of the Trinity.
“Shiva himself became Dattatreya’s disciple because it was Dattatreya who first developed the spiritual path called Aghora - the path that involves spending time in cremations grounds, consuming intoxicants, involving oneself with extremely difficult situations, and becoming comfortable with those situations.” - Dr. Robert Svoboda
The Lila of Anasuya: Absence of Envy (10:51)
Telling Vimalananda’s version of Dattatreya’s birth story told through the divinely poetic lila of Anasuya (Dattatreya’s mother, which means: absence of envy/jealousy), Dr. Svoboda shares the wise and hilarious tale involving the Trimurti of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva getting themselves into deep trouble, only to have to be rescued by their wives Saraswati, Lakshmi, & Parvati - whose jealousy of Anasuya started the predicament in the first place.
“Dattatreya’s mother was named Anasuya - a word that means: absence of envy. Vimalananda said that because Anasuya was not envious, that meant that everybody else was envious of her. They wanted to be without envy, but they did that by being envious. Not only were ordinary people envious of her, even Lakshmi, Saraswati, and Parvati-the consorts of Vishnu, Brahma, and Shiva-became envious of her.” - Dr. Robert Svoboda
Dattatreya’s 24 Gurus (23:13)
With Anasuya’s story leading to Dattatreya’s birth, Dr. Svoboda shares the unique situation Dattatreya lived, in having 24 different gurus, none of which knowing he was their devotee. In this beautiful exemplification of how various nuances of reality can act as our guru when our hearts and mind are turned to the divine, Dr. Svoboda shares the wisdom lessons inherent in Dattatreya’s relationship with his gurus, like: earth, water, fire, air, space, moon, sun, pigeon, python, ocean, moth, bee, caterpillar, and more.
“Back at that time, normally, you would go and find a guru- someone who would teach you the Vedas, then you would connect to reality, and do your own things. But Dattatreya did not have one special particular guru, unless we consider reality to be his guru. Dattatreya had 24 gurus, and none of them knew they were acting as his guru.” - Dr. Robert Svoboda
Guru Dattatreya, Aghora Teachings, & Lord Shiva (36:42)
After elucidating Dattatreya’s 24 gurus, Dr. Svoboda relays the wanderings of the Lotus Feet of Guru Dattatreya, sharing his wild, impactful teachings which went beyond what most could handle. Aimed at pushing his externally-focused students to deeper inner wisdom, Dattatreya used outward revelry and debauchery to test them - leaving only Lord Shiva as his first disciple, the Adi Nath.
“People worship in that way, not the image of Dattatreya, but they worship his Lotus Feet. Because from the perspective of the guru, that’s what you should be focusing on. You should be focusing on the feet of the guru, because it is through the feet that the energy of the guru comes to you.” - Dr. Robert Svoboda

Thank you 🙏
Avadhoot Chintan Shri Gurudev Datta 🙏🏽
This is my first time listening to ur podcast. I heard u on Ranveer Allahbadia show & was impressed with ur knowledge of the Hindu scriptures. I am a devout follower of Shri Shirdi Saibaba & hence of the Datta Sampradaya. Have read the Avadhoot Gita & currently reading the Guru Charitra. Ur explanation is very detail oriented & I feel blessed to have gained more knowledge on this subject.
I live in Cincinnati, Ohio & will surely follow more of ur teachings.
Thanks & stay blessed 🙏🏽
@jyotiSHegde Shree Swami Samarth🙏
FYKI,
Sai doesn't belong to Datta Sampraday.
It is misinterpreted.
Anyhow one is free to believe or follow whatever his/her own faiths.
Same flavour...how was avadhoota gita...complex or understandable?
@@dcmiringkarhe is..Read SripadSrivallabha charithamrutham Chapter 45
Dear Sir, Thank you so much. This lecture tries to fulfill a thirst and hunger for knowing Shree Sadguru Dattatreya. Invaluable....
Anathakoti Bramhandanayaka Rajadhiraaj Shri Sadgururaaj Maharaaj Avadhootachinatana Shree Gurudeva Datta...!! 🙏🙏
Thank you for honoring Dattatreya Guru. He is a wonderful embodiment of both the One and the Three, the Absolute and the Relative, a humble distinguished friend to all, understanding the equality of all people, and living things, as well as honoring the divine hierarchy of creation and those who have achieved most. His three heads and the 'Treya' in his name indicates the acceptance, rather than the rejection, of the waves of the ocean, of the appearance of the world, understanding that there is no such thing as an ocean without waves, that both the impersonal Brahman and the personal Ishwara are united as Two-in-One of Brahm, Godhead, the Supreme Impersonality and Personality of Godhead, the knower of Atit Vad, the Vad that is Beyond all Vadas - Bhedabheda Vedanta. as well as the Advaita version of Vedanta.
I was told in India that Dattatreya is closely associated with one's ancestors, and one honors one's ancestors by honoring Lord Dattatreya, and visa versa.
Thank you again for honoring Dear Datta, Guru Dattatreya. Jai Guru Dev...

'Dyaneshwari' is a work of Sant Dyaneshwar and not Sant Eknath. Kindly take note.
I was going to write this, but thought of checking if anyone else noticed.
This doctor says at 40:00 that Sant Eknathn composed Dnyaneshwari .This shows the half knowledge of the narrator.Dnyaneshwari is written by Sant Dnyaneshwar at nevasa in Maharashtra whose guru was Sant Nivruttinath his elder brother whose guru in turn was Sant Gorakhnath.Also no mention is made of Gurucharitra written by Sayan Dev based on Shri. Narasimha Saraswati,whose avatar karya took place at Gangapur in Karnataka. The avatar of Shri. Guru Dev Dutta by the name of Shripad Shrivallabh, whose avatar karya took place at Pithampur in Andhra Pradesh finds no mention. Shri. Guru Dev Dutta was the guru of the Navnaths the nine incarnations of Adinath and their samadhi mandirs are found all over India. Gorakhpur to name one of Gorakhnath. The Guru Charitra is also a sacred granth read by many people during or around the period of Guru Poornima. Jai Shri. Guru Dev Dutta 🙏 Dutta Guru Maharaj ki Jai.
Pranam. He did not say Eknath Maharaj composed the Dnyaneshwari. He said thanks to him we have the Dnyaneshwari. Which is true because Dnyaneshwar Maharaj gave swapna darshan to Eknath Maharaj and told him to dig open his samadhi because a tree root had wrapped around his neck. Eknath Maharaj did so and it was there that Dnyaneshwar Maharaj gave him the original Bhavarth Deepika and told him to make a proper copy to be given to the public so that there are no incorrect/corrupted versions. It is this copy made by Eknath Maharaj that we read today.
Also the guru of Nivruttinath Maharaj was not Gorakshnath. It was Gahininath. He was initiated in a cave in Trimbakeshwar, Nashik. The cave is right above where Nivruttinath Maharaj's samadhi mandir is right now.
This is just one talk. So of course Dr Svoboda hasn't covered all aspects here. He has written much more in his books. Also his guru himself was connected to nath sampraday and spent his sadhana days in Girnar. So it would be unfair to say he has half knowledge.
Grow up. If u have so much knowledge start your own podcast 🙄
💖🌷🍀🙏🙏🌄🙏🙏🍀🌷💖
How Eknath was only disciple of Dattatreya and also of Janardhan Swami...???? Were both the same...???
Saint Eknath's Sadguru is Shree Janardan swami. In his literature he emphasis himself at the end as " Eka Jandadani"
You commented that shiva represents tamas...... cant understand why or how
MOST IMPT point is MISSED. The three God's created Dattatreya with the LIGHT of their EYES.
JGD!

Respected Sir
With due deference I would like to state that you probably accidentally
associate wrong gunas with trinities. Actually the association should be as follows.
Brahma - Raja Guna or Passion
Vishnu - Sattvic Guna or goodness
Shiva - Tama Guna or ignorence
Lol you need to study more before commenting things! If you don't have enough knowledge on a particular topic don't talk about it! Brahma is rajasik shiv is tamsik and Vishnu is satvik
Dattatrey is a disciple of shiva. Ganapati and Dattatrey swami are actually guru Bandhu. Shiva taught them agam shastra.
Where did you get this story from.
@@anilnanduri2319 avdhoot Geeta by dattatreya and ... Dattatreya aur Ganesh gosthi.....
@@AvnishChaturvedi-mk4en Dattatreya is a born yogi and gyani himself. However he mentions that he has 24 gurus like trees, rivers etc. Nowhere he mentions that shiva is his guru.
@@anilnanduri2319 yogi. Jab prakriti se paar jaata hai tab kudrat aadiparashakti uske samne saakar prakat ho jaati hai.,. Shiv tatva aadiguru hai... Sab naatho ke naath Mahadev aadiyogi hi hai...
@@AvnishChaturvedi-mk4enbhai pehle jhoot bolte Hon ki avdhoot Geeta mein Adi yogi dattatrey ne kaha ki unka guru Shiv hi. Phir usko cover Karne ke liye kuch aur bol rahe Hon. Bhai jo prakriti se pare hai aur jiska janm Lila hai. Aur jo swayam prakriti unse aayi hai usko koi guru ki avashyakta nahi hai. bhagwan dattatrey Vishnu ka avatar usko koi guru ki Jaroorat nahi hai. Bhagawan datt ne khud Kaha ki wo prakriti se sikha hai. Aur sirf guru ka mahatva batane ke liye Aisa kaha hai.
Hazrat kwaja Dada Hayat Qalandar is Guru Dattatreya. He came to India from the middle east with Hazrat kwaja Garib nawaz kwaja moinuddin chishti.

Dattatreya lived in the vedic times - long before the arabic c-ult was even created
