4 KILLIG OF JMBHSU Once upon a time, a demon named Jambhaasura became very powerful by the power of penance. He then invaded heaven. Indra the ruler of heaven with the army of the devatas (Gods) fought Jambhaasura for an entire year. Finally the Gods grew weary and began to flee. he demons rejoiced at the defeat of the Gods and became foolish and boastful. Indra was frightened and decided, I need a good plan to defeat Jambhaasura and his army. Our strength is waning. fter much thinking the Gods did not have a plan. hey approached Brhaspati, their Guru or teacher for help. Brhaspati advised, ven the three Gods cannot save you! But Dattatreya, who has the powers of all three Gods combined can grant success. WI Say the mantra everyday! OM im Hreem Sreem OM im Hreem Sreem *** IM sounds like I m Page 3 Page 32

In this manner, look at your palm Brief xplanation his is a Morning Prayer called karadarshana. One begins the day with this prayer. kara means the palm of the hand and it stands for the five organs of action. While looking at the palm, one asks the Lord in the form of various deities, to reside in the palms so all the actions that will be done during the day will be good. By acknowledging the Lord as the giver of the capacity to perform actions and as the giver of the fruits of those actions, one sanctifies the actions. hus, one prays in the morning to reinforce the attitude that all actions are performed as a service to the Lord. ll human progress lies in effort Who is Datta s companion? hese companions represent the holy scriptures called the _ Page 4
6 Story continued.. Brhaspati cautioned, Go to Sahyadri where Dattatreya resides and serve him. You need unwavering devotion and steadfast faith to please him. Dattatreya is very severe in testing his disciples (students). Be careful! Do not be disgusted if he appears ugly and loathsome or engaged in despicable actions. Understand that he is pure like a flame and nothing can taint him. Farewell and may success be yours. Chinese Dragon Puppet cont d 7. ake a piece of gold card and draw the head and tail of a dragon on it. 8. Cut out the head and tail. 9. Using crayons, glitter or whatever you like, decorate the head and tail. eflecting carefully on Brhaspati s words, Indra went to Sahyadri. t that time Dattatreya was engaged in frivolous activities. here were singers in front of him, others were giving him pots of wine and a woman was rolling over him with little cloth covering her body. Dattatreya was highly intoxicated or drunk. Indra and the devatas arrived and was witnessing these activities. Indra remembered his Guru s words, Dattatreya subjects his disciples to severe tests. 10. Using glue or sticky tape, fasten the back of the dragon s head at one end of the red card and the back of its tail at the other end of the red card. 11. Fasten the straws or sticks to the back of the dragon s head and tail. 12. here should be about 3cm taped to the card so you are left with long handles to hold the puppet. 13. nd here it is Your Dragon Puppet!

8 Story continued.. Indra stood there with folded hands. He and the other devatas began serving Dattatreya. hey made the beds, set the table and arranged the meals. Indra stood by Datta s side and handed him anything he desired immediately. Sometimes Dattatreya would spit on his own body. t other times he would spit on Indra. Yet Indra did not flinch. He and the devatas remained there serving Dattatreya with devotion. his went on for some time. One day Datta asked, h, why are you hanging on to me? Indra narrated all that had happened in Heaven. Indra then humbly begged, Please save us and grant us victory over Jambh-aasura and his forces. On hearing this Lord Datta burst out laughing. He said, It is quite obvious why you were defeated. You have poor understanding so your enemies are able to overcome you. SKY : Look at the sky space it is all-pervading (exists everywhere). It is in pots, rooms, the body space etc. Yet the space in the pot etc does not unite with the space in the room etc. What other spaces do you know? Space is immeasurable and cannot be cut or divided. Seeing this and recognizing that the inner Self, dwells in innumerable bodies, is unattached and indivisible, I learnt to experience the Self everywhere and in everything. here is an extraordinary thing about the Sky, clouds are formed by the elements of dust (from earth), water and fire (heat) with the help of air they move about in the sky. Yet the sky is not stained by them. From this I learnt, that the Self is not contaminated by the qualities of the elements forming the body. his is what Sky has taught me. MOO : he moon appears to wax and wane (full moon, half moon, new moon). Do you see a half moon sometimes? Is the moon just one half or is it the light from only half of the moon that you see? It is not the moon that waxes and wanes only the lustre (light) of the moon. I learnt that the six objects of sense (smell, hearing, tasting, touch, sight, mind) are of the body and not of the tman (Soul). Page 7 to be continued Page 28
9 Page 27 King Yadu asked Lord Datta, How do you remain unaffected, happy and calm? Why do you always seems to be floating in bliss? What has made this state of mind possible? Lord Datta replied, O King Yadu I have observed the world closely and obtained a little knowledge from a number of gurus (teachers). I have 24 such gurus. Listen carefully! I will tell you what I have learnt from them. he ir : I learnt non-attachment and stainlessness from the ir. he air in the body mixes with food but remains without desiring any pleasure. In the same way I should take food only with a view to - obtaining knowledge and not chase after sense pleasures. o obtain knowledge a body is needed, food the body to live. is necessary for So limited amounts of food should be eaten for life and to obtain knowledge. In addition, I learnt that the outside air comes in contact with many things, possessing many qualities, such as heat and cold. Yet the air is not soiled. In the same way, I should remain unattached even when I come into contact with sense objects.. WI Say the mantra everyday! OM im Hreem Sreem OM im Hreem Sreem *** IM sounds like I m Page 8
10 Story continued.. Catching hold of me who is in the snares of a woman and floating in wine, you are now foolishly asking for my help to conquer that giant! In the past someone said that he could cross the river Ganga by holding on to a dog s tail. Your conduct seems to be the same. Indra replied, Lord, you are the world teacher. either righteousness or unrighteousness touches you. You are ever shining with the light of wisdom. Why are you trying to deceive us? You must learn to control this bad tendency. It is difficult to change the tendencies because you were born with these qualities. hey came from actions you did in several previous births. How can these bad qualities be removed? he Law of ction says that these tendencies came through ctions so can be removed only through ction. Just as one key opens a door and closes the same door by turning the key in the opposite direction. he bad tendencies came through bad actions. Good actions alone can bring the change. If you perform Good actions then the tendencies will change from selfish, moody and evil to good and pure actions. lso the action should be performed with the thought that all the results should be for God. You will then shine and be brilliant with the light of these good qualities. his is why you must : Lord Datta interrupted, Indra, why should anything be hidden from you? I have obtained some power by Yoga, but what use can it be? Intense penance is needed to accomplish certain works. How can I find time for such penance when I am enjoying the company of this woman and enjoying wine and food? DO POOJS D HOLY SY PYS BOOKS CH MS SIG BHJS O HYMS DO YOG MDIIO PFOM GOOD CIOS lways practice satvic or good actions. If you cannot, at least let your actions be rajasik but with good feelings. ever practice amasik actions (filled with hatred). When all your thoughts, actions and speech are pure then you are a gift (Datta). Until then Datta himself will help you transform your qualities by keeping you in his heart and helping you with your practices. Page 9 Page 26
11 Datta means Gift. Swamiji explains about Datta during Datta Jayanti (birthday celebration of Lord Dattatreya) SOLV H CYPOGM MSSG Instructions : eplace the cryptogram letters below with the message letters (for example, where there is a C use ). Fill the blank spaces and solve the cryptogram he devotee gifts himself to Datta. Datta gifts himself to the devotee. What does this mean? It means that the devotee has surrendered or gifted his body, sense organs and mind to Datta. Datta in turn gives off himself to the devotee. here are three qualities that you have and these are a pure heart (Satvik), egoistic nature (ajasik moody, selfish quality) and a demonic nature (amasik hatred, jealousy). Which quality do you have most of the times? Most of the time our feelings are good but our actions are not good (amasik). Do you think and speak well of your family and others? If you do then that is a pure hearted nature. Do you like to share with others? Sharing is a satvic or good action. Do you work with your classmates to solve problems or do projects? Do you think good things of others but sometimes behave badly when you are with them. he action is then demonic (tamasik). Speaking ill of others is tamasik. CYGCU ZQPHWPB MWWX CLKOWU HI : Cryptogram Message Letter Letter C W O G W K P U S H F. Sometimes even feelings are bad in addition to the actions. Being jealous if someone gets praise or has something that you want is an example. Can you think of other good and bad actions and feelings? Page 25 Page 10
12 Story continued.. Dattatreya said, Lust is enough to drag a man from Heaven to the caves of Hell. ny amount of sacrifice cannot prevent such a fall once caught in the snare of desires. Indra prostrated by touching the eight parts of his body to the ground. He entreated Lord Datta, Lord, by your grace I know that you are sinless. his woman is none other than the Divine Mother, who is born as nagha for your sake. Can the sun s ray be soiled by touching an evil person? Whatever you say we will not leave this place. You alone are our refuge. We have no other shelter. Dattatreya said, Indra you are a very important person and quite insistent. I cannot deny the truth of your words. However, I cannot move from this place. If you can find a way to bring your foes before me, I shall do what I can. WI Say the mantra everyday! OM im Hreem Sreem OM im Hreem Sreem *** IM sounds like I m Page 11 Page 24

14 Story continued.. Indra had acquired great strength in the service of Lord Datta. He returned to Heaven with the devatas and challenged Jambhaasura to a fight. Jambhaasura came out roaring in anger, I will destroy every last one of you! Datta Darshanam Crossword #4 he battle began but before long the devatas lost their strength and began to flee. he demons began to chase them saying they would not stop until the last one was destroyed. When they came Lord Dattatreya was in the guise of a drunkard making merry in the company of nagha Devi. When those sinful souls saw nagha Devi they became giddy. She was a rare and enchanting beauty and was half naked at the time. She was also tipsy from drinking so much wine. he demons entirely forgot that there was a war to fight and that half naked beggar Datta was in their opinion not even worthy of consideration as a human being. hey dragged Dattatreya and pushed him aside. cross 4.

16 Story continued.. he demons then grabbed nagha Devi and lifting her up bodily placed her in a palanquin. Pushing each other aside they tried to place the palanquin on their heads so they could carry her away. Lord Dattatreya laughed loudly and reassured the devatas, O Devatas, you are very lucky. ow the Divine Mother has crossed the seven positions in the demons and has reached their heads. hey cannot hold her any more. here is nothing for you to fear. t once the devatas questioned, Lord where are the seven places she dwells?

While Lord Datta was speaking to the devatas a quarrel broke out amongst the demons. veryone was arguing that he alone should be near the damsel, he alone should carry her and he alone should carry the palanquin. his ended in a loud quarrel. he devatas encouraged by Lord Dattatreya started to fight with great vigour and killed all the demons. nagha Devi jumped out of the palanquin and joined Lord Dattatreya. hus by the Grace of Dattatreya, the devatas were able to regain their kingdom of Heaven.
