Dattatreya swamy was born to the sage Atri & Anasuya maa, who had been promised by trimurthi(Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara)collectively.
The name Dattatreya indicates "Datta" (given/Adopt) and "Atreya" referring to the sage Atri, his physical father.
He is portrayed sitting in meditation with his shakti beneath the audumbara tree(Medi Chettu).
• Dattatreya is accompanied by a white cow. The cow is under the protection of Sri Guru Datta.In the Vedic symbolism,the cow stands for the creation and also for our planet Earth(Bhumi Tatva).that means all universe/srusti running by his chaitanya.Datta n krishna are same..Jagad guru..
• Around Datta four dogs are symbolise the 4Vedas.(Rig Veda, Sama Veda, Yajur Veda and Atharvana Veda.)
• The Trident indicates that He has transcended the three gunas, which constitute the illusory world:Sattva-illumination, Rajas-activity and Tamas-inertia.Dattatreya is Triguna thitha(3 Gunalaki Athithudu).Aware of Past, present, and future; and the three states of consciousness: waking, dreaming,and dreamless sleep (Jagrath,Swapna,Sushuptha avasthas).
• The ‘Sudharshana chakra‘ , disc indicates that He is beyond the cycles of time i.e. the past, present and future and His holding of ‘chakra’ means He is the controller of time.
• The Conch represents the eternal sound ‘AUM’ – which is the manifestation of the Spirit. It is also the life principle in us and the cosmos.
• The ‘Bhasma‘ ashes indicated His ‘Vairaagya‘ dispassion as well as His purity. Ashes indicate the evanescent nature of all created nature of all created objects and the ultimate state of all matter.
• He always carries a begging bowl so as to teach us the lesson that we will have to share our wealth and food with others.
• The Japa-mala, rosary He wears reminds us that our primary duty is chanting the sacred name of the Lord and meditating on the feet of the Lord, and our redemption depends on this discipline alone.
• In the Dattatreya Upanishad which is a part of the Atharva Veda,he is described as being able to appear in the form of a child,madman,or demon in order to help his devotees achieve moksha,liberation from the bonds of worldly existence.

DATTA TATVA: The Sandilyopanishad clearly declares that lord Dattatreya is the supreme reality and is the cause of everything that is created. It states that “the supreme Brahman performed penance which was of the nature of knowledge, and desiring to become many, assumed the form of Dattatreya. From that form the three letters A,U,M came out, the three mystical names Bhuh, Bhuvah and Svah the lined Gayathri, the three Vedas Rig, Yajur and Sama, the three Gods Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara and the three fires Garhapatya, Ashavaneeya and Dakshina. Acoording to Avadhootopanishad, an Avadhootha is one who is beyond all Varna and Ashrama, a Yogin deeply centred in the self-brahman, one free from the bondage of hope and despair one who is pure in the beginning, in the middle and in the end of his life, one who is always merged in bliss, without a desire, with pure and truthful speech, one who has made his mind pure through meditation and Samadhi.In this kind of Avadhutha, the meditator, the meditation and the object of meditation become one. In Datta sampradaya, Dattatreya is worshipped as an Avadhootha.

In Guru charitra,Guru githa,upanishads,Avadhutha Gita
Datta purana,Bhagavad gita,Sripadha Srivallabha Divya Charithamrutham.
& main in Bhavishya purana,
**Brahma created kalipurusha n said him all his duties n ordered.** I,e
"Who is under with SADGURU SEVA/GURU BHAKTHI or surrender to SADGURU"
You will not be affected by your characteristics(evilness,negativity,bad thoughts,hate,revenge,unnecessary issues,untruth etc).n
they only reach Satyamarga..
So do Guru bhakthi /Seva/Datta Tatva...Guru can teach us what best n inspire like anything..
The principle tenets of the Dattatreya tradition are:
1. Everyone should know oneself first and should know one’s own reality, which is but God.
2. One should realize the relationship between God, man and creation – the underlying kinship, unity and oneness of these three entities. Brahman is the immanent and all pervading reality in all matter – it is the origin, the support and sustenance of all.
3. To obtain this vision and discern this truth, one should conquer one’s ego through Yoga and renunciation.
4. Guru’s grace is indispensable. One has to surrender oneself totally and unreservedly at the feet of the Guru.His grace awakens ‘Jnana’ (illumination) by which we can recognize the Reality of Brahman, which is the real self of all.
Apart from this the disciples should: • Have purity of thought, word and deed. • Do ‘Nama smaran’ – remembrance of the Lord’s name and meditation on it. • Have compassion and love for all beings. • Render selfless services at the feet of the Guru and surrender completely and unconditionally.
