THE STORY OF ATRI AND ANASUYA
Au-rat : Ta-maa-tar sas-te na-hiin hain.
Woman : The tomatoes are not cheap?
Once upon a time, there was a four faced God
called Brahma.
Du-kaan-daar : Jii na-hiin, ye ta-maa-tar sas-te hain.
Shopkeeper : No, these tomatoes are cheap.
Just as you can think of a kite and make it, Brahma
thought of creating the world. The world
then took shape from his thoughts.
Au-rat : Paan-ch ru-pa-ye bahut hain.
Woman : 5 rupees is a lot /much.
He created seven sages through the power of
his mind. These were his mind born sons.
Du-kaan-daar : Ve Ta-maa-tar chaar ru-pa-ye kilo hai.
Shopkeeper : Those tomatoes are 4 rupees a kilo.
Out of Brahma’s shadow
Kardama Pra-jaa-pati
was born. He married this son to Devahuti.
Au-rat : Ach-chaa.
Woman : Good.
At this time Kardama Prajaapati was
performing intense penance. Devahuti
with matchless devotion served her
husband who was absorbed in deep penance for thousands
of years.
Kardama Prajaapati was very pleased with
Devahuti’s purity and dedicated service.
He created for her marvelous mansions, attendants and a
flying chariot. He also recognized her motherly nature.
Nine daughters were born to that righteous couple. They were
Kalaa, Anasuya, Shraddhaa, Havirbhuva, Gati, Kriya, Vrijya,
Chitti and Khyaati

EAGLE TEMPLATE
FOR YOU TO TRACE AND CUT OUT
In order to fulfill Lord Brahma’s command to help the
creation Maha rishi Atri
and Anasuya
went to the Nirvindya river and began a very rigorous tapas.
Standing on one leg in Garud-aasana and
controlling his breath according to Praa-na-yaa-ma
and living on air Atri was immersed in deep
meditation (samadhi) for a hundred years.
Anasuya,
the ideal wife undertook similar disciplines.
She vigilantly guarded Atri’s tapas so that no obstacle could
disturb him. Atri’s achievements caused wonder to all the
worlds.
Owing to the unique Praanayaama practiced
by the Maha rishi a mighty fire arose in his
body. That fire burst forth from the invisible
opening in the center of the forehead in
powerful smoke coloured flames.

What are some things that you like to do?
The Trinity responsible for the
creation,
preservation
and
destruction was pleased seeing the
intensity of Atri’s tapas.
They appeared before him. The radiance of the Trinity
appeared as a flash of lightning to his mind.
Atri was scared by the piercing light which his mind’s eye
could not bear and he trembled.
Somehow he recovered and opened his eyes. He saw
before him Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva with kind and sweet
smiles on their gracious faces.
Always practice good
hygiene
Keep your home and
school clean
Sage Atri prostrated on the ground
with tears of joy in his eyes, “Oh
Lord, how compassionate you are!
You have favoured me with the
three divine forms which are
beyond comparison and have
come to oblige me. How fortunate I
am. Prostrations, O Brahma,
Vishnu and Shiva!”

noble. Out of our love for you and in

After granting the boon, the Trinity disappeared. At the same
time a handsome boy, the very personification of loveliness
appeared before the blessed couple.
The boy had three faces and
six hands. He wore a

However, the distress of the
Devis and the thought of the
welfare of the world moved Anasuya to
righteousness. She transformed the babies
to their real forms. She then gave them
back to the Devis.
Then the three gods (Trimurthi) blessed
Atri and Anasuya, and told them they
would be born as her babies.
Only such a chaste devotee, someone
who has pure thoughts, words and actions
and is free from jealousy, could be the
mother of Dattatreya.
Anasuya was such a virtuous and good
person. Anasuya also means “one without
jealousy”.

HELP THE GODDESSES FIND
SAGE ATRI AND ANASUYA MATA
The boy smiled and said, “Oh
Mother, O Father, I understand
your feelings. I am also eager to
be born as your son and to please
you with my boyish pranks. I am
DATTA. Wait for sometime and I
will give myself to you.”
The saintly couple, filled with joy, returned to their hermitage
near Dandakaaranya. They continued their routine austerities
and lived happily.
One day Saint Narada declared in heaven that Anasuya was
the greatest and purest woman in the world. The Gods
wanted to test Anasuya’s greatness. They sent Narada to Atri
and Anasuya.
Sage Narada came to the hermitage
with Bengal gram made of iron. He
gave Anasuya the grain and requested
Anasuya to cook it for him.
However much she tried the grain would not
cook. It was as hard as iron but when she used
her power of will, the grain became soft and
fragrant. Narada felt very happy and left.
The Devi’s wanted to test the greatness of Anasuya.
The Devis lost their husbands.
What had happened to the trio? Where were they?

Story continued……..
Anasuya sprinkled water from the tips of
her fingers on the heads of those young
sages. The next moment the three young
sages became pretty babies.

Such was the greatness of Anasuya!
OM Aim Hreem Sreem
Thinking they were her babies she
breastfeed them.
She put them in
cradles and singing lullabies put them to
sleep.
On returning from the river Atri
Maharishi was overjoyed to see
the babies. They enjoyed the
frolics of those children and did
not notice time passing.
Lakshmi, Saraswati and Parvati were missing their
husbands, and came to know what had happened. They
now realized Anasuya’s greatness!
The goddesses went to the
hermitage, told the couple the story.
They had sent their husbands to
test Anasuya’s greatness. Their
husbands who had come as young
sages were now babies. They
begged Anasuya to return their
husbands.

Story continued……..
He returned to heaven and when the goddesses heard
about this they wanted to prove Ansuya’s greatness and
purity.
They asked their husbands,
Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva
to test Anasuya’s greatness
once more. They agreed.
Disguised as saints, the three gods
arrived at lunch time and begged
Anasuya to serve them food. Atri was not
at home. Any guest at noon is equal to
Lord Vishnu. So Anasuya was about to
serve them, when they said, “We will only
eat if you serve us without clothes.”
Anasuya thought, ‘My honour will be
reduced if I come out without clothes in
front of men. If I refuse it will be dishonour
to the guests and they can take away all of
Atri’s power. These are not ordinary guests as they are trying
to place me in a tricky situation.”
She quickly meditated on her husband. The three saints had
called her as Mother “Bhavati, Bhiksham Dehi!” (“Oh Mother,
give us some food!”). An idea quickly flashed in her mind.
