Lord Dattatreya

He has three heads, six hands, four dogs, one cow and one tree behind him. One hand holds the drum, one holds the round shaped wheel or chakra, one holds the conch shell or sankh, one holds a rosary or japa mala and one holds a water vessel or kamandala.The trident, drum, chakra, conch shell, mala, and kamandalu all have esoteric meanings. The trident is used for killing the ego, the drum is used to awaken people who are always sleeping in a state of ignorance. That is why He is always beating the drum. He is saying,"You must come, you must come with me."

The conch shell represents the OMKARA which is known as the first sound or word in Hindu philosophy. Omkara is the first sound or beat of the Hindu Scriptures, Vedas and Puranas. All the great sages use the OMKARA. Akara (Sustainer), Ukara (Protector) and Makara (Destroyer) when mixed together make one sound the Omkara. This Omkara sound is the sound from the conch shell.This is important, for with every breath we sound the OMKARA.

So-hum... I am the world, I am the universe, I am Lord Shiva, I am Lord Vishnu. We are always chanting this mantra even when we are walking, running or sleeping. The sounds are made at different speeds but in the final analysis, there is only the Omkara So-hum, So-hum. We are always making this sound even though we do not realise it. Lord Dattatreya has given this gift to every one.

Animals also use this OM^sound, So-hum, So-hum.Dattatreya also holds the rotating disc or chakra. It is a round circle with no beginning or end like the universe. He uses this chakra to take all kinds of karma from all people. In His right hand He holds the japa mala or rosary. Here Lord Dattatreya is counting His devotees. In another hand He is carrying the water pot or kamandala. This does not contain ordinary water but the nectar of wisdom. Behind Him is a cow (Kamadhenu). This cow grants the wishes of those who ask for the satisfaction of desires, be they worldly, mentally or spiritually.

The four dogs are not ordinary dogs but represent the four Vedas: Rig-Veda, Yajur-Veda, Atharva-Veda and Sama-Veda. They follow the Lord as 'hounds of heaven -and watchdogs of truth' and are owned by Datta, the greatest hunter for the souls of men. They continually surround the Lord. Finally, the tree behind Lord Dattatreya is the Audumbara tree or wish-yielding tree. It fulfils the wishes of those who prostrate to it no matter what problems they may have. The tree is the bearer of nectar and wherever it is found, there Lord Dattatreya will always be present.
