A question abt the lotus of lord vishnu?
The conch in Vishnu's hand stands for purity of speech, the discus or the wheel symbolizes the knowledge of the self (I am the soul, point of light) and of the world-wheel (cycle of 5000 years). The lotus represents purity of actions or uprightness of practical life and the spirit of detachment.The mace denotes victory over the five vices: sex-lust, anger, greed, attachment and arrogance. Two of the arms of Vishnu represent Shri Narayana and the rest two represent Shri Lakshmi. The crown of light is symbolic of piety and peace and the crown of gold, bedecked with jewels, is an emblem of sovereignty or prosperity. God Shiva exhorts mankind to adopt Vishnu as their ideal and if they do so, they would attain double-crowned sovereignty in Heaven. So, all those who receive Godly Knowledge and learn easy Sovereign Yoga through Prajapita Brahma, they make their spiritual endeavours with the object of being raised to the Double-crowned deity status, such as that of Shri Lakshmi and Shri Narayana. Having this ideal in view, they do righteous and virtuous deeds and work for complete purity. www.bkwsu.org www.brahmakumaris.org
Reply:The lotus is symbolic of female reproductive organs.The rose is used in Rosicrucianism and is the sign of the order of the rosey cross.An FBI agent held one behind his back as a signal of an inside job in 1995 at the Murrah bomb site.Symbology is still important in the occult today.Hinduism is littered with gods and symbols.

Reply:24 classical forms of Vishnu, which are distinguished from each other mainly by the arrangement of the four characteristic weapons of Vishnu in his four hands, viz. Conch (Samkha), Discus (Chakra), Mace (Gadha) and Lotus (Padma). [ 4 things in 4 places: Number of combinations are factorial 4 = 4X3X2X1=24]


The four weapons symbolize the universal processes relevant to the divinity : Lotus symbolizes creation (srshti bijam tatha padmam), Discus preservation (chakram sthiti -nibandhanam), Mace disolution (gadha samhara -bijam) and Conch emancipation of the soul from bondage ( samkham mukti-nihandhanam) [Parama-samhita 3,17; and Brhat-brahma-samhita, 1,12,102-103]





These 24 forms are Kesava (conch left upper hand, chakra right upper hamd, Gadha right lower hand and lotus left lower hand) , Narayana (conch left lower hand, chakra right lower hand, Gadha right upper hand and lotus left upper hand) , Madhava, Govinda and so on up to Krishna, the 24th form.
Reply:This is not supposed to be answered, this is to be understood and "seen" through meditation. There are many things which symbolizes lotus. There are many celestial manifestation, in this forms and the real reason has to do with the creation itself.








but until you meditate, and see for yourself, you can take pangl's sweet and sound answer, also add purity to it, Lotus also denotes purity , with what pangl said.

Reply:Now for an intelligent answer.


Untouched by its surrounding impurities, a lotus symbolizes


purity of heart and mind. Since the seeds have been found


to last for thousands of years and are still perfect for


re-germination, it is a symbol of strong vital force that could


withstand extremely adverse conditions.


Edit-Splattered, it's Pangloss, not Pangel, that's not thats and you're not your. And it is an intelligent answer in that it is the symbolism of the lotus flower. Until you change your name from fecal matter (and learn to spell), I don't think you should call someone with a Voltarian name unintelligent.
Reply:LOTUS - It is considered as a sacred symbols regarded as holy and divine by all the Indian religions. The lotus is named in the Rigveda and is mentioned with increasing frequency in the later Samhitas. In the Atharvaveda the human heart is compared with the lotus, and the Panchavimsa Brahmana speaks of its flower being born of the light of the Constellations. The holiest of flowers for Hindus, the beautiful lotus is symbolic of the true soul of an individual. It represents the being, which lives in turbid waters yet rises up and blossoms to the point of enlightenment. Mythologically speaking, lotus is also a symbol of creation, since Brahma, the creator came forth from the lotus that blooms from the navel of Vishnu. Lakshmi is also called Padma (lotus-hued) and Vishnu holding Lotus in his hands means he is always keeping Goddess Lakshmi with him. These are the reasons for Lord Vishnu holding Lotus in his hands and not any other flower.-
Reply:I dont know what the scriptures say about it but Brahma and Vishnu and even Lakshmi sit on a lotus.A lotus is a pure flower more beautiful than roses because it grows in quick sand and retains its beauty
