Restored back the title of the question. There was nothing wrong with the title or the body. OP wants to know if this work is real or fiction and not presence in scripture.

| Jul 19, 2016 at 17:46 | comment | added | user808 | @yogi - It is a much better than Megha Sandesha of Kalidasa because in Megha Sandesha Kalidasa is describing the longing between two mortals ( a man and a women) which is not divine. Where as Hamsa Sandesha is exchange of longing of Paramatma Raama and his divine consort, Goddess sita. Please read "Vedanta Desika – His life, Work and Philosophy" by Dr. Satyavrat Singh under the aegis of Mahomahopadhya Narsimhachary published in Late 1950's to get a detailed info on Swami Vedanta Desikar and his outstanding works. | |

It is way of Swami trying picturize the message sent by Lord Rama to Goddess Sita in Lanka through a swan. Heard that Swami gives a detailed picture of various ancient places of worship on the flight path of the swan to Lanka. | |

| Jul 17, 2016 at 14:46 | comment | added | Keshav Srinivasan♦ | By the way, Vedanta Desikan was a huge fan of Kalidasa; for instance he composed an epic poem called Yadavabhyudayam about the life story of Krishna, modeled after Kalidasa's poem Raghuvamsa about the life story of Rama. Also, if you're interested in Vedanta Desikan's fictional works, his most famous fictional work is his play Sankalpa Suryodaya, which you can read here: gdurl.com/V52s | |

| Jul 17, 2016 at 8:06 | comment | added | Keshav Srinivasan♦ | Rama never used a swan to send a message to Sita. The Hamsa Sandesha is a poem composed by Vedanta Desikan which tells a fictional story of Rama using a swan to send a message. The fictional story was invented by Vedanta Desikan, not Kalidasa. The only connection to Kalidasa is that Vedanta Desikan's poem is modeled after the style of Kalidasa's poem Meghaduta. In any case, Vedanta Desikan composed many fictional works to illustrate various Sri Vaishnava principles, and the Hamsa Sandesha is one of them. | |
