Quotes:Kalavingka

H. P. Blavatsky

Kalavingka. “The sweet‐ voiced bird of immortality “. Eitel identifies it with cuculus melanoleicus, though the bird itself is allegorical and non‐existent. Its voice is heard at a certain stage of Dhyana in Yoga practice. It is said to have awakened King Bimbisara and thus saved him from the sting of a cobra. In its esoteric meaning this sweet‐voiced bird is our Higher Ego.
