Eastern Lotus flower

Om Mani Padme Hum, meaning, "Hail to the Jewel in the Lotus" is the sacred mantra of the Tibetans.

Christian Lotus flower
“Blessed are the pure in heart,” said Jesus, “for they shall see God”. The teachings of the Galilean Master and those of India's great yogis were cut from the same cloth of Self-realization. Only when the likes and dislikes of the heart, and their resultant vortices of desire and aversion, have been dissolved, in short, when the heart has been purified, can Self-realization be attained. Most efforts to transform one self involve a laborious struggle to correct an endless array of individual faults. It would be like trying to realign each molecule in a bar of steel separately.

Indian Yoga Lotus flower
The ancient yogic technique of Kriya Yoga, brought to America by Paramhansa Yogananda, is central and direct in its application to this spiritual awakening. Kriya Yoga directs energy lengthwise around the spine, gradually neutralizing the edges of the verities. At the same time, it strengthens the nerves in the spine and brain to receive cosmic currents of energy and consciousness.

Summary
Symbols are a means of bringing subtle, inner realities to a focus in outward expression. Within the fundamental unity of consciousness, certain symbols, such as the lotus lifting itself in purity above the muddy water, possess universal relevance and power.
