Dattatreya, embodying Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, represents creation, preservation, and destruction. Born to Sage Atri and Anusuya, he symbolizes divine wisdom. With three heads, six hands holding symbols like Chakra, Damru, Kamandal, Trishul, Shankh, and a hand on a bull, he signifies cosmic balance. Four dogs represent the Vedas. As Adi Guru, he teaches Advaita, urging self-realization, humility, and harmony with nature through introspection and universal love.
