Who was Baba Lokenath of Bengal?
A great historical Mahasiddha known for the promise of immediate protection across forests and battlefields upon remembrance — similar to Lord Dattatreya's Smritagami nature — whose legacy has been overshadowed in modern times by contemporary cults.
How should Guru Pujan be performed through Dattatreya, and what is his role over ancestors and the 64 Yoginis and 52 Bhairavas?
Guru Pujan is performed with complete surrender to Dattatreya, reciting 'Gurur Brahma Gurur Vishnu', his 108 or 12 names — he is the cause of all ancestors' liberation and the supreme Maha-Siddha who commands the elemental power behind the 64 Yoginis and 52 Bhairavas, and is pleased by even simple remembrance.
