The lotus is known as the flower of life; rooted in the earth, surrounded by water. The Circle at the center of the lotus surrounds the consecrated space where all are looked upon as equal. The spirals surrounding the inner circle are symbolic of life and death and represent the womb of the earth. Each dot represents a new spark of life. The “Trisula”. It is a symbol of great mystery and importance in India. Worshippers of Buddha say it is their deity’s monogram and a symbol of the dharma (law). Worshippers of Shiva believe it to be their God’s Trident. Some call it “The Flame in the Lotus”, or the cosmic joining of male and female energies.
