There are stories and symbolism behind
the lotus flower in many spiritual paths and heritages.
The color pink is said to be reflective
of reaching our peak spiritually In Hindu. In Buddhism the white lotus
symbolizes the state of Bodhi, peace and serenity, the red lotus symbolizes the
heart-state of compassion and love, the blue lotus symbolizes wisdom, the pink
lotus symbolizes the Buddha and enlightenment, the golden lotus symbolizes the
worlds beyond this one on higher realms.
No matter the path the stories
revolve around how a lotus grows from the dark murky waters to come forth as a
beautiful water plant. Showing how beautiful things can emerge out of the
darkness and grow into something awesome. So the lotus flower, has symbolism of
one reaching high spiritual consciousness or enlightenment, sensuality, health,
creation, after life, fertility. In Egypt the Lotus flower is called Sesen and
a symbol of the sun.
