Sagittarius Full Moon – Birthday of Lord Dattatreya and of Rishi Devapi
From tomorrow, Thursday, Dec. 4, to Friday, Dec. 5, we are in the full moon phase of Sagittarius – see the WTT overview of astrological dates of the month or the chart of the full moon of the month.
This full moon is celebrated as the birthday of Lord Dattatreya (Dattatreya Jayanti) and it is recommended to contemplate on Lord Dattatreya, the Lord of Yoga, during this full moon.
Here you find more about Lord Dattatreya and his birth by Anasuya, the mother and Atri, the father.
This full moon is also known as the birthday of Rishi Devapi, whom we know as Master Koot Hoomi. In one of his incarnations, he was born on Sagittarius full moon. We may contemplate about Rishi Devapi / Master Koot Hoomi, on this occasion.
There exists an old book (out of print) published by the Theosophical Society Kamachha, Varanasi, with lectures of Shri Sudarshan Das on the “Rishis Devapi and Maru”, given in one of the lodges of the society at Calcutta. Giving sources from the Scriptures, the book shows that Devapi is the Master whom today we know as Koot Hoomi, and Maru is the Master whom today we call Morya.
There exists a scan of this interesting book which is partly a little difficult to read.
Together with Lord Maitreya, Rishi Devapi and Rishi Morya form the first triangle of today’s Spiritual Hierarchy.
There are two volumes by Master K. Parvathi Kumar about the “Teachings of Master Koot Hoomi“,
Vol. 1 and Vol. 2.
