dattaisme
Dattaisme is a contemporary spiritual-philosophical movement described in modern speculative writing and some cultural discussions as an attempt to synthesize Vedantic non-dualism with empirical science and social ethics. Proponents present Dattaisme as a path that centers on awareness of interconnectedness and the compassionate application of knowledge in daily life. The movement is named after the symbolic figure Datta (Dattatreya) and is described by some authors as drawing on legendary attributes of that figure while reframing them in a modern context.
