Guru Charitra  ( New Book ) GURU CHARITRA: The Two Incarnations of Lord Dattatreya by Edited & Revised By: Dr. V.R. PrabhuPaperback (Edition: 2005) JAICO Publishing HouseISBN 817992419XSize: 8.5" X 5.5"Pages: 311 About the Book: The Dattatreya Sampradaya has kept alive the eternal principles of Truth, Righteousness, peace, Divine Love and Non-Violence in Bharat for thousands of years. It extends back in time to the very beginning of the human race and over thousands of years this Sampradaya produced other Sampradayas like the Shiva and Vishnu Sampradayas to name only two. As the other Sampradayas kept increasing in number the Dattatreya Sampradaya was largely forgotten by the laity in virtually the whole of Northern Bharat. Lord Krishna revived the Datta Sampradya by telling Uddhava the teachings of Lord Dattatreya to King Alark and Yadu. He then gave Uddhava Darshan of Lord Dattatreya. This is recounted in the Srimad Bhagvat. Once again the data Sampradaya became the preserve of sanyasis, as civil society was devastated by the Mahabharat war. The revival of Datta Sampradaya in the last millennium was largely due to Sri Sripad Sri Vallabha and Sri Narasimha Saraswati. The Guru Charitra is the biography of these two incarnations of Lord Dattatreya. This text has been used for the last 300 years to revive our lost Vedic heritage. Besides many lost rituals were revived by Sri Narasimha Saraswati an dare recounted in this text. This book will he useful for people who wish to review part of our Vedic heritage dealing with Prayers and rituals, as well as people practicing Bhakti Yoga.
