Guest guest Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Jaya Guru Datta, .. What is the meaning of Jaya Guru Datta? .. Jaya Guru Datta i believe is short for Jaya Gurudeva Dattatreya. I believe by saying Jaya Guru Datta, one is empowering the Dattatreya principe or enlarging (invoking) the Dattatreya-consiousness. Just like when one is saying Hare Krishna one is enlarging the Krishna-Consiousness. Sri Swamiji is Sri Dattatreya. Sri Swamiji His work is service to mankind and all creation. Jaya Guru Datta is a code word, which creates higher levels of harmony for all creation, just by saying the three words with sincere devotion. Could someone post the excerpt from Bhakti mala which is reffered to in the beneath quote form the dattapeetham website of 29-07-08. thanx! Sri Guru Datta, Win. Quote form the dattapeetham website dd 29-07-08: His Holiness Sri Swamiji performed Sri Chakra Puja in the Annapurna Mandiram, opposite the Datta Temple and Trinity Hall, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Later, Sri Swamiji asked the devotees to answer a few spiritual questions. What is the meaning of Jaya Guru Datta? The devotees answered as Jaya means victory. Guru is the embodiment of God. While God is the formless Almighty, Guru is God in human form. Datta means gift. One who is compassionate and giving. Guru is that compassionate one who blesses us with knowledge and therefore victory to such Guru. Sri Swamiji said that this answer was 80% correct but more detail can be obtained from Bhakti Mala. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. --- On Thu, 7/31/08, JAIGURUDATTA <JAIGURUDATTA > wrote: JAIGURUDATTA <JAIGURUDATTA > Digest Number 1901 JAIGURUDATTA Thursday, July 31, 2008, 10:51 AM For discussions relating to the teachings and experiences with Sri Ganapati Sachchidananda Messages In This Digest (4 Messages) 1.
