The Lotus-symbol of strength

White Lotus- represents the state of spiritual perfection and total mental purity. In association with the white Tara (the Buddhist savior goddess in Tibet, Nepal, and Mongolia) and proclaims her perfect nature a quality which is reinforced by the colour of her body.

Pink Lotus- the supreme lotus generally reserved for the highest deity. Thus naturally it is associated with the great Buddha himself.

Red Lotus- signifies the original nature and purity of the heart. it is the lotus of love, passion, kindness, compassion and all the other qualities of the heart.

Blue Lotus- symbol of victory of the spirit over the senses and signifies the wisdom of knowledge.

Roots of lotus are in the mud and blossom pristinely above the water sometimes 8 to 12 inches above. The lotus of any colour signifies the growth and progress of the soul from primeval mud and materialism through the waters of experience and into the bright sunshine of enlightenment.
