Dattatreya lived about 2500 BC, so I have my doubts if this was the historical person who initiated him. He was a key figure for the pre- Aryan tribes of India. The figure of Dattatreya has morphed over time, particularly since Hinduism became more Vaishnavite/ Materialistic/puritanical in the kali-yuga. ------------------------ Yahoo!
