The Meaning and Symbolism Behind the Lotus Flower Tattoo

Lotus flowers are amazing and have strong symbolic ties to many Asian religions especially throughout India. The lotus flower starts as a small flower down at the bottom of a pond in the mud and muck. It slowly grows up towards the waters surface continually moving towards the light. Once it come to the surface of the water the lotus flower begins to blossom and turn into a beautiful flower.

Within Hinduism and Buddhism the lotus flower has become a symbol for awakening to the spiritual reality of life. The meaning varies slightly between the two religions of course but essentially both religious traditions place importance on the lotus flower.

Meanings of Flowers

Termed floriography or the language of flowers, a number of flowers have obtained unique symbolic meanings since medieval times though the use of this kind of vocabulary only became widespread through the Victorian times onwards.

Used as a means of communication to express feelings which could not be spoken floriography is used by almost any person who gives flowers whether they are aware of the language or not – it’s not necessary to be familiar with the historic language to know that red roses symbolize passionate love and therefore are not suitable for your Mother on Mother’s Day.
