Sulochana

It literally means 'very beautiful eyes.' If you see many depictions of deities in eastern art you will find they have large, limpid eyes as beautiful as those of the deer. Sulochana also symbolically means a deer. The deer is free and happy, running wild and independently with great abandon. The name also implies the inner eyes of intuition and self-knowledge. There are spiritual centres in our bodies, which are known as chakras. The ajna chakra is often referred to as the third eye, the eye of knowledge. This inner eye of true clarity brings insight and enables us to begin our journey towards reality, which is unconditioned and beyond the external forms we see with our outer eyes. Sulochana also means Buddha, an Enlightened One. In the scripture, the Prajnaparamita, Gautama Buddha explains the meaning of buddha.

"Buddha is reality. One who totally understands all the aspects of existence is a buddha. A buddha is enlightened and sees all things in their fundamental and empty nature. The state of enlightenment sees no division, no duality and no names or words. A buddha is totally awake."
