The meaning of 'Hansadhwani'

Hansadhwani literally translates as...sound of the swan.

I have endeavoured to be one whose discernment is not lost in the din of the world, whose eyes are not dazzled by that which flashes to charm and whose heart knows not much difference between her own and another's.

Towards a destination of achieving that inner balance, in a world where everything seems rock your boat is what I have created this sanctuary for.

Those who seek such a solace, state or freedom are my soul-friends and brethren and this is also intended as a sanctuary for them.

Saraswati is a resident deity here, but so are ganapati and lakshmi -each has their significance.

I live with dogs and dance with gods.In most rooms of my home there is something that reminds me of the creator of this universe and fills me with mirth at the prospect of my own insignificance. And yet how seriously we take ourselves at times.
My home is a confluence of art and ideas. Swan is the vehicle of Saraswati and Brahma. I hope this name brings those divine presences to my consciousness and enrich it.
