Like the lotus flower which grows and beautifully blooms in muddy water, the lotus mala symbolizes spiritual growth and the ability to rise above obstacles on the path to spiritual enlightenment. The significance of the Lotus mala is it symbolizes spiritual knowledge and power. The lotus grows out of mud, unfolds into a beautiful flower, lives in water all the time but is never wet by it. This conveys the idea that a spiritual aspirant, while living in the world, should remain unaffected by the worldly attractions and should work towards spiritual unfoldment.It is said that Mantra invoked on a lotus japa Mala abounds in spiritual wealth. The oval, brownish-black seeds of the lotus are known for its cooling effect. The japa mala is used especially for the Lakshmi jaap to stabilize and improve financial conditions
