Who is the Adi Guru worshipped across all authentic Shakta, Kaula, and Vaishnava lineages?
Lord Mahasiddha Dattatreya — the Adi Guru and first Guru of all sects, worshipped in his original form or an aspect/incarnation in every authentic lineage; if a tradition claims otherwise, it simply means their Guru never imparted that knowledge.
Why is Lord Dattatreya's worship invariably present across every lineage tradition?
Dattatreya's form is a unified, integrated form of Brahma, Vishnu, and Sadashiva, so whenever a practitioner receives initiation into any future lineage tradition — Vaishnava, Shaiva, Shakta, Kaula, or Aghora — Dattatreya's worship is invariably present, and his placement is mandatory in Yantra Pujan, Mandala Pujan, and Adhara Pujan.
Why does seeking secret lineage rituals outside an established tradition cause a spiritual Dosha?
Seeking secret lineage rituals outside an established tradition causes a spiritual defect (Dosha) for both the seeker and the person revealing the secret, since sects maintain exclusive rights over their esoteric practices — lineage practitioners reveal only limited portions that benefit the practitioner without incurring a spiritual fault.
