The Embodiment of the Guru Principle

Introduction: Dattatreya, son of Sage Atri and Sati Anasuya, is believed to carry the essence of Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh.

Story: To test the devotion of Sati Anasuya, the Trinity came in the guise of sadhus. By the power of her penance, Anasuya turned them into infants and nurtured them like a mother. Pleased, the three gods blessed her with a son born of their combined essence. Dattatreya took 24 gurus from nature, such as the earth, water, wind, and the ant, and learned something from each.

Message: For one who wishes to learn, a teacher is found everywhere.
