THE
LIFE OF
WHITE LOTUS
DAY
In her will, HPB suggested that her friends might
gather together on the anniversary of her passing (May 8, 1891) and read from
Sir Edwin Arnold's The Light of Asia and from The Bhagavad-Gita. Lotuses grew
in unusual profusion one year later. Hence, May 8th became known as White Lotus
Day.
ONE of the symbolic figures for the Dual creative
power in Nature (matter and force on the material plane) is Padma,
the water lily of
The Lotus, or Padma, is,
moreover, a very ancient and favourite simile for the
Kosmos itself, and also for man. The popular reasons given are, firstly, the
fact just mentioned, that the Lotus-seed contains within itself a perfect
miniature of the future plant, which typifies the fact that the spiritual
prototypes of all things materialised on Earth. Secondly, the fact that the Lotus plant grows up through the water,
having its root in the Ilus, or mud, and spreading
its flower in the air above. The Lotus thus typifies the life of man and
also that of the Kosmos; for the Secret Doctrine teaches that the elements of
both are the same, and that both are developing in the same direction. The root
of the Lotus sunk in the mud represents material life, the stalk passing up
through the water typifies existence in the astral world, and the flower
floating on the water and opening to the sky is emblematical of spiritual
being. (The Secret Doctrine I, 57-58.)
