Spiritual significance of the flowers

White Lotus  - Aditi - The Mother. 

Aditi is the indivisible consciousness, force and Ananda of the Supreme; the Mother, its living dynamis, the supreme Love, Wisdom, Power.  

                                                                    -  SRI AUROBINDO 

 

All is created by the Supreme Goddess, 

 

the Supreme and Original Mahashakti, 

 

all proceeds from her, 

 

all lives by her, 

 

all lives in her,

 

even as she lives in all. 

 

All wisdom and knowledge are her wisdom and knowledge; 

 

all power is her power, 

 

all will and force her will and force, 

 

all action is her action, 

 

all movement her movement. 

 

All beings are portions of her power of existence.

                                         

                                               SRI AUROBINDO 

 

Red Lotus : The Avatar. 

 


In a general way the lotus is the flower of 

the Divine Wisdom, whatever its colour. 

But red signifies the Avatar, the Divine 

incarnated in matter, and white signifies 


the Divine Consciousness manifested upon 

earth.
                                     THE MOTHER
