 The Mother's Fragrances Symbolize the Spiritual Journey of the Human Soul 

 The  Rig Veda, meaning Knowledge, is the oldest known spiritual text. In  ancient India it was revered as a sacred book of wisdom, the words of  rishis, seers and sages who veiled their spiritual and occult knowledge  in the form of sacrificial hymns to heavenly deities. Only the initiates  knew the esoteric and true significance of these hymns as a seeking  after Truth, Light, and Immortality.

The symbolism of the Veda  depends upon the image of the life of humanity as a sacrifice, a battle,  a journey inward and upward for a Divine Realization. The gods are the  forces of Light and Truth (powers and personalities of the Divine  Consciousness), which aid each person in their ascent. These godheads  are worshipped as aspects of the Supreme and their aid invoked along the  way, but the goal is to rise beyond them all and achieve union, YOGA,  with the Transcendent Divine and have the powers of the Divine  Consciousness descend into oneself for self-perfection, SIDDHI.

The  hymns center around the image of the sacrificial fire, the god AGNI,  symbol of the soul's aspiration to reach divinity. The sacrifice, YAJNA,  is each individual's consecration of all they are to the Divine. The  seeker invokes Agni to grant the vitality, PRANA, faith, SHRADDHA,  courage, SAHASAM, sincerity, ARJAVA, and meditative concentration,  DHYANA, necessary for the journey and realisation.

The journey  involves a purification of one's being, symbolised by the strainer,  PAVITRA, through which all thoughts, feelings and impulses are offered  to the Divine to be purified and uplifted. The seeker attains to an  inner state of harmony, SATTWA, and calm equanimity, SAMATA. Through  adoration and devotion, BHAKTI, the human soul offers itself in  surrender to the Divine Mother, ADITI, and feels the touch of the Divine  Consciousness coming as peace, SHANTI, light, JYOTI, spiritual silence,  MAUNA, and happiness, SUKHAM. Having passed through the strainer, one's  offering becomes the wine of immortality, AMRITA, symbol of Divine  Bliss. The world around reveals the splendourous beauty, LAVANYA, of the  Universal Divine, and the seeker finds the beneficient influence and  touch of the Divine, RASI, coming in all aspects of life. 

The  liberated human soul, symbolised by the swan, HANSA, ascends the path of  the Truth and arrives at the goal of the journey, the world of light,  SWAR, in which one becomes conscious of the Transcendent Divine in its  triune aspect of Existence-Consciousness- Bliss, SACHCHIDANANDA.
