The White Lotus Flower and it’s
Association with Hinduism
In
the religion of Hinduism the white lotus flower is associated with beauty and
the state of non-attachment; therefore it is closer related to its meaning in
Buddhism as opposed to Egyptology (where the Lotus, usually the blue one, is
associated with re-birth and the Sun).
Furthermore the white lotus flower symbolism is often associated with
the divine Gods and Goddesses of India, and it is often depicted as growing
from the naval of Vishnu; Brahma sits on top of the Lotus and from there He
carries out the order of Vishnu to create the world.
The
central heart of the Lotus also has a symbolic meaning as it is thought to be
pure, therefore people of good heart and soul should strive to reach the beauty
of the fully opened white Lotus flower heart.
