A person who sees a lotus flower emerging from a muddy pond cannot help but see the beauty of this magnificent plant. The lotus flower always looks very clean and pure despite the dirty appearance of the pond. Therefore, the lotus flower has always been associated with purity and beauty. Lotus, rising pure and unpolluted from dirty water, is the symbol of purity and resurrection.
Lotus is truly fascinating with its fragrant pink or white flowers. Throughout many cultures throughout time, the lotus has been a powerful image and spiritual symbol. In fact, in many cultures, the lotus is considered a sacred flower.
The lotus flower closes its leaves at night and sinks under water, and at dawn it raises its leaves again with the sun and blooms. This is accepted as an indication that the lotus symbolizes the sun, rebirth, spiritual development, and creation.
It is said that the lotus rooting in the mud symbolizes the purity of the body, speech and mind, and that its leaves symbolize being in the flow and not being dependent, as water drops easily slide over the leaves. Its flowers bloom on long stems, symbolizing swimming on the muddy waters of addiction and desire.
The lotus flower goes through a lot of evolution in its growth until it emerges from the dirty water and becomes a beautiful flower. This represents our process towards enlightenment.
According to the yoga teaching that addresses the energy centers in our body, known as the chakra system, the crown chakra on our head is symbolized by the lotus and the blooming of the lotus flower indicates enlightenment.
In spiritual literature from many sources, the lotus is a symbol for the macrocosm and microcosm, the universe and man. It is believed that the lotus represents the divinity of man as well as the divinity of the universe.
