Tajau Man Hari Bimukhani Ko Sang
Surdas1 verses · ~1 min
तजौ मन, हरि बिमुखनि कौ संग। जिनकै संग कुमति उपजति है, परत भजन में भंग। कहा होत पय पान कराएं, बिष नही तजत भुजंग। कागहिं कहा कपूर चुगाएं, स्वान न्हवाएं गंग। खर कौ कहा अरगजा-लेपन, मरकट भूषण अंग। गज कौं कहा सरित अन्हवाएं, बहुरि धरै वह ढंग। पाहन पतित बान नहिं बेधत, रीतौ करत निषंग। सूरदास कारी कमरि पै, चढत न दूजौ रंग।

Dattatreya
This image portrays Dattatreya, the divine manifestation of the Hindu Trinity: Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, unified into a single eternal form. As a supreme teacher and sage, he stands in serene detachment against a backdrop of lush nature, representing the balance of the spiritual and material worlds. The presence of the four dogs, symbols of the four Vedas, and the sacred cow, representing the Earth and dharma, reminds us of the profound interconnectedness of all living beings within the divine consciousness. Through the masterful hand of Raja Ravi Varma, this work transcended traditional iconography, becoming a beloved focal point for devotion in countless households across the subcontinent.
