The lotus flower has indeed acquired a special significance over the centuries.

The lotus flower’s opening petals symbolize the potential for the soul to expand and blossom into beauty and divinity. Three stages of the Lotus. Mud, Water, and Air. (Just like the 3 Elements of Life; Physical, Mental, and Spiritual.) They symbolize the surrender of the mind to the powers above. They symbolize an openness and submissiveness even as the roots are mired in the muddy worldliness and sin... Perfectly Flawed. Greek Mythology revels, Ra, the Sun God, emerging from the Lotus Petals, from the depths of Nun, or watery Chaos.
