193. OM HAMSAYA NAMA: ॐ हंसाया नम:
The Lord graced in Hamsa Avatar.
Hamsa, Swan, has an unique quality of drinking only milk and discarding water. We also should try to distinguish and accept essence alone. Even in Vedas we have to study Vedanta, the essence. Swami Desika has authored an epic Hamsa sandesam, in which Sri Rama sends a hamsa to sri Sita as messenger. The hamsa flies over many cities and Kshetrams and Swami Desika describes each of them. Acharyas are called Paramahamsa, as they teach essence. Hamsa is famous for its elegant walk and women are compared to them. Males' walk is compared to elephant or Lion, for the majesty. Sri Rama and Sri Sita compare each other to the walk of elephant and swan. The Lord took the Avatar of Hamsa to preach Vedas.
