Small Lotus Flower and Om Necklace, #6187-ss

This lovely pendant incorporates the lotus flower and the om symbol. Both hold so much meaning - this would be the perfect gift for the yogi women in your life!

The lotus flower symbolizes new beginnings, purity and enlightenment. Buddhists liken the unfolding of the lotus petals to the unfolding of the divine within the human self. The closed bloom represents the heart with its infinite potential for enlightenment; the open blossom represents the enlightened self. In Buddhism the lotus blossom represents a heart opening. The lotus flower blooms on the surface of water, with its roots deep below in mud - making it a symbol of light and beauty emerging from darkness.

As the main symbol of Hinduism, the OM represents the One-ness of all creation, the sound of the Sun and the sound of Light. Chanting the Om mantra revitalizes ones body, nourishes the soul and calms the minds. Om is considered the most powerful of all the mantras (chants), and is the prefix or the beginning sound of all other mantras. Also written as aum or ohm. 

Material: sterling silver and rhodium plated sterling silver.
