Guest guest Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 "Bhakta-MAnasa-HamsikA [is] the female swan who dwells in the lake of Her devotees' minds, otherwise known as MAnas-Sarovar. DevI loves to be in the minds of Her devotees -- Hamsa is a symbol of SrI-LalitA as the life breath, or PrAna. Siva and Sakti -- the twin aspects of reality -- [have similarly been] compared to a pair of swans sporting in the minds of their devotees (cf. Bhaje-Hamsa-Dvandvam, 'I adore the pair of swans,' in Soundarya Lahari, 38)." - Dr. C.
