The ocean of becoming.


The Bhav saagar as this world is called in scriptures, what does it mean?
Bhav is to become and sagar means ocean so literally it means the ocean of becoming.
Bhav may also mean to happen, as in blessings e.g. Ayushmaan bhav (may you be blessed 
with long life)
This world of mine is constantly becoming something all the time.
what creats this constant change?
It is Bhaavana (may be translated as emotions) and therefore she is called Bhavaani. 

She tosses us as she wishes through bhaavana and she is also the one to makes us cross this
ocean of constantly becoming (bhav saagar) hence she is called Bhavtaarini.
