Lotus is the purest flower among all flowers, and also important in
Yoga.In yoga also have one asana named "Lotus Pose". The lotus flower appeared in legends originating from
ancient Egypt. It played an important part in ancient Egyptian
religion. The Lotus of the Water Lily is an aquatic plant with
broad floating green and bright fragrant flower that grow only in
shallow waters. Bases on the color of its flower, it is divided
into two types, the red lotus flower and the white lotus flower.
The beautiful flowers float and have many petals overlapping in a
symmetrical pattern. Lotuses , prized for their serene beauty, are
delightful to behold as their blossoms open on the surface of a
pond.
It is associated with the goddess of wealth Maha Lakshmi, who
brings prosperity, purity, chastity and generosity. She is the
embodiment beauty, grace and charm. She sits on a fully blossomed
lotus flower, symbolizing purity, beauty and everything that is
good.
Understanding the subtle importance of the
Lotus :
Lending to its
uniqueness, the flower grows in murky waters and rises on a long
stalk above the surface to bloom glorious. Untouched by the
impurity, lotus symbolizes the purity of heart and mind. It also
symbolizes the the last and final lotus - Charan Kamal or lotus
feet of the Almighty. Since the seeds have been found to last
for thousands of years and still perfect for re-germination, it is
a symbol of strong vital force that could withstand extremely
adverse conditions. The lotus flower thus represents long life,
health, honor and good luck. Especially in Buddhism, where this
flower is valued very highly. It was this depth of thought
that made the founding fathers of modern India enshrine the lotus
in the Constitution as the National Flower.
Namaste Ji,
