RELIGIOUS SYMBOLS

The lotus flower, Conch, The colour saffron, Hindu greetings

1)    The lotus flower: The lotus flower is a symbol of vegetation and prosperity. The lotus bud is born in watery mud and unfolds itself into a beautiful flower; hence it is seen as a symbol of the universe coming out of the primeval waters. It also symbolises the fact that it is possible to raise oneself out of evil (mud) to purity.

2)    Conch: Shankha:  A Conch shell is in the form of a multiple spiral evolving from one point into ever-increasing spheres. It thus symbolises the origin of the universe from a single source (i.e. God). Being found in water, it also symbolizes the waters from which the universe evolved and into which everything is dissolved. When blown, the Conch produces a sound which represents the primeval sound (AUM) from which creation developed. A Conch shell is kept in temples and places of worship and blown at times of special prayers like the Aarti.

3)    The colour saffron: Flags on Hindu temples, as well as the robes worn by swamis and sanyasis (religious and spiritually advanced individuals), are of this colour. It denotes the sun’s life-giving glow. The sun has the highest place in Vedic literature as the sustainer of all life and the source of energy. It acts as a reminder of the power of God, the act of selfless service and renunciation.

4)    Hindu greetings: Namaskar (Namaste): The traditional Hindu greeting in “Namaskar” or “Namaste”, which is said by joining the two palms in front and bowing the head. This greeting acknowledges the presence of divinity in all human beings. The person saying “Namaskar” implies, “with all my physical strength (represented by folded hands) and my intellect (represented by bowed head) I pay respect to the Atma (soul) within you.
