"Hamsa" means a swan or other aquatic bird that is considered as a bird of passage. Natives with Hamsa Yoga are the most faith inspired, and they are afforded the most protection and blessings from difficulties and suffering. They benefit in life due to their faith, hope, optimism and goodwill. They find greater meaning in life; have a good capacity for foresight, and the good fortune to have and choose the good over the bad. An interesting facet of this yoga is that it does create strong sexual passion, just as the classical texts states. Amongst the Mahapurusha Yogas, Hamsa Yoga grants the longest longevity.
