The Gurucharitra as a Foundational Hagiography: Narrative Theology, Ritual Performance, and the Construction of Guru-Kingship in the Dattatreya Tradition
The scripture primarily chronicles the lives and miracles of three divine figures considered incarnations of Lord Dattatreya:
Saraswati Gangadhar was a descendant of Sayamdev, a close disciple of Shri Narasimha Saraswati.
One paradigmatic episode crystallizes the text’s anti-essentialist soteriology. A Brahmin performs a pilgrimage to Kashi but accidentally steps on a Caṇḍāla (untouchable). The Brahmin falls ill. Nṛsiṃha Sarasvatī visits him and reveals that the Caṇḍāla was in fact the guru in disguise. The lesson: “Jāti nāhī, guṇu nāhī, dhyāna ekacī sācē” (There is no caste, no quality; only meditation on the guru is true).
