This site’s central purpose is to foster independent thinking, within the framework of the philosophy of Krishna consciousness.
In the Vedas, it is said that the swan is able to extract the milk from a mixture of milk and water. The swan is therefore symbolic of the discrimination required to perceive and accept the essential spiritual truth regardless of the particular form in which it is presented, which is the principle of “Desa-kala-patra”. “According to Time, Atmosphere, & the Performer”; also known as the principle of “time, place, and circumstances”. Such discrimination is the ”sine qua non [1]” of progressive spiritual life; so much so that a saint of the highest spiritual attainment is honored in India as a paramahamsa, “supreme swan”.
[1] sine qua non: an essential condition; a thing that is absolutely necessary.

Hare Krishna
