Guru Dattatreya (Gallery)

Guru Dattatreya is the eternal wanderer—formless, fearless, and overflowing with the nectar of pure awareness. His grace flows like a quiet current beneath the surface of everyday life: subtle, transformative, and waiting for the heart that is ready. Through the many sacred depictions of Him, that hidden current becomes visible. Each image reveals a different facet of His presence—His simplicity, His wild freedom, His boundless compassion, and the deep silence from which all wisdom arises.

These images are not merely pictures; they are reminders of a living Guru-tattva that continues to guide seekers across ages. As I share them, I offer them with devotion—to the inner Guru, to the three-faced Lord of Yoga, and to the gentle protection of Shri Ganesh, who clears the path for every step. May anyone who pauses before these images feel a touch of His guidance, a whisper of His freedom, and the blessing of His companionship on their own journey.
