A Divine Embodiment of Wisdom and Union

This magnificent bronze sculpture captures the profound essence of Bhagawan Dattatreya, a revered deity in Hinduism, often depicted as an Avatara of the divine trinity – Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. Crafted with exceptional artistry, this 48-inch masterpiece showcases the divine figure in all his multifaceted glory. Dattatreya, whose name signifies "given by Datta," is a symbol of knowledge, compassion, and spiritual emancipation. His iconography is rich with symbolism, each element a testament to the universal truths he embodies.

The Iconography of the Guru

The sculpture portrays Dattatreya with multiple heads, typically three, representing the three principal deities of the Hindu pantheon, and often six or more arms, each holding significant attributes. One head signifies the creator Brahma, another the preserver Vishnu, and the third the destroyer Shiva, symbolizing the cyclical nature of existence and the all-encompassing power of the divine. The numerous arms suggest Dattatreya's ability to perform countless actions simultaneously, his omnipresence, and his capacity to bestow myriad blessings. In his hands, he may hold a *chakra* (discus) symbolizing the wheel of time and cosmic order, a *shankha* (conch shell) representing the primordial sound and victory, a *gada* (mace) signifying strength and authority, and a *trishula* (trident) representing the three gunas (qualities) of nature or the three aspects of divinity. He is also often depicted with a *saraswati veena* or other musical instruments, symbolizing the harmonious expression of divine knowledge and art. The *akshamala* (rosary) signifies his role as a guru and the continuous cycle of spiritual practice. ––––––––––––––––––––

Companions and Teachings

Accompanying Bhagawan Dattatreya in this sculpture is the sacred Kamadhenu, the divine wish-fulfilling cow, symbolizing abundance, nourishment, and the fulfillment of desires. Its serene presence signifies Dattatreya's benevolent nature and his ability to provide for his devotees. The four dogs at his feet represent the four Vedas – the Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda, and Atharvaveda – the foundational scriptures of Hinduism. They symbolize unwavering devotion, loyalty, and the profound knowledge that emanates from Dattatreya, the ultimate guru. Dattatreya is known for his unconventional teachings, often imparted through parables and his interactions with nature, demonstrating that wisdom can be found in all aspects of creation. He is the Adi Guru, the primordial teacher, and his teachings transcend dogma, guiding seekers towards self-realization. This exquisite bronze work of art serves not only as a devotional object but also as a powerful reminder of the profound philosophical insights and spiritual solace that Bhagawan Dattatreya offers to the world.
