Lotus Does Not Lose Its Fragrance Even in Mud, It Remains Present in Rituals and Worship Due to Its Virtues
When a person, despite being surrounded by many wrongdoers, manages to preserve high and moral values, does no wrong, and walks on the right path, the idiom “a lotus blooms in the mud” is used. This is because the lotus symbolizes purity, holiness, and spirituality.
According to Celebrity Astrologer Parduman Suri, the lotus grows in impure water but remains spotless and beautiful. Therefore, the blooming of the lotus in muddy water while maintaining its fragrance is a symbol of life’s incredible potential. According to Buddhism, the realities of life are akin to the muddy water and the lotus flower.
The lotus holds an irreplaceable place in the art, Upanishads, Ramayana, and other scriptures of ancient India, which led to it being chosen as the national flower of India in 1950. Due to its qualities, the lotus is a symbol of grandeur, detachment, purity, and sanctity. In Hinduism, the lotus is considered a sacred and auspicious flower and is used in various rituals and worship ceremonies.
According to Hindu beliefs, the lotus symbolizes Lord Vishnu, as it emerges from his navel and gives birth to Brahma. The lotus is also the seat of Goddess Lakshmi, representing her wealth and beauty.
Because of its high virtues, lotus flowers are offered at the feet of the divine. Additionally, garlands made of lotus flowers are placed on statues or photo frames of deities. Even the petals and water of the lotus are used in religious worship.
