Dattātreya: The Immortal Guru, Yogin, and Avatāra

Book Description
This book presents the multi-faceted Hindu deity Dattatreya from his Puranic emergence up to modern times. Dattatreya's Brahmanical portrayal, as well as his even more archaic characterization as a Tantric antinomian figure, combines both Vaisnava Saiva motifs. Over the course of time, Dattatreya has come to embody the roles of the immortal guru, yogin and avatara in a paradigmatic manner. From the sixteenth century Dattatreya's glorious characterization emerged as the incarnation of the trimurti of Brahma, Visnu, and Siva. Although Maharastra is the heartland of Dattatreya devotion, his presence is attested to throughout India and extends beyond the boundaries of Hinduism, being met with in Sufi circles and even in Buddhism and Jainism via Nathism. The scarce attention which most Western scholars of Indian religions have paid to this deity contrasts with its ubiquitousness and social permeability. Devotion to Dattatreya cuts through all social and religious strata of Indian society: among his adepts we find yogis, Brahmans, faqirs, Devi worshippers, untouchables, thieves, and prostitutes. This book explores all primary religious dimensions: myth, doctrine, ritual, philosophy, mysticism, and iconography. The comprehensive result offers a rich fresco of Hindu religion as well as an understanding of Marathi integrative spirituality: precisely this complexity of themes constitutes Dattatreya's uniqueness.

Book Description
The core teachings of Vedanta are eternal. They were revealed several thousand years before the Christian era. As a means of enlightenment, Vedanta evolved slowly since then as great minds contributed dispassionately to the teaching tradition, which reached perfection in the eighth century. Just as nobody is trying to invent a new wheel, no one can improve Vedanta, because it does what it purports to do: set us free of our sense of limitation. This book demystifies the topic of enlightenment. Although it is inspirational, it is not just another vague inspirational read. It is written in a simple style that I believe will make the science of Self-inquiry accessible to seekers and finders everywhere.

Book Description
The basis of this book is a manuscript in Sanskrit which he obtained from India and its value lies in the depth and detail with which this new material has been studied and presented. The author is to be congratulated, not for his skilful translation from Sanskrit but also for the clarity with which he has applied this to western needs and western minds. Much has been written in the past regarding the psychosomatic effects of Pranayama and Asanas but in his text, Dr Saher explains clearly the mechanism by which brain and mind operate in conjunction with bodily functions, emotions and psychic experience and also how these may be controlled and applied for our betterment. He also shows how specific areas of the brain control similar areas of mind, how these can be applied to Selfanalysis and using exercises also given in the text, so control both mind and body, that Self-Realisation is possible in the highest sense and that even before this stage is reached, Health, Harmony and Serenity will be attained, surely to be prized for themselves alone. This fascinating and profound book of ancient, Eastern esoteric wisdom backed by the latest discoveries and experiments of modern science treats the health of the soul by showing the relationship between soul and brain. Here is a practical guide to Zen-Yoga which can help to master suffering and harness latent powers. At a time when science is exploring outer space, Zen-Yoga helps us to explore the inner space of the human psyche, to recognize within ourselves new freedom – freedom to work out our destiny with integral consciousness or the divine supra – Self as the light within. This book is a cybernetic exploration of the mind’s inner space leading to expanded cosmo-electronic consciousness. Having shown the differences between Eastern and Western thought – processes, Saher explains how the sages of the East have acquired that source of wisdom and bliss which our misguided youth seeks vainly in hallucinogenic drugs.
