A well-liked explanation of the symbolism of the Lotus flower is that of the struggles we face in life, and also you may start life in the most unpleasant conditions, or you may go through a bad patch in your life, like a divorce, loss of a loved one, etc, but like the Lotus flower you too can rise above the adversity into the light.
