What does it all mean?
The blue color of the glass and the light it transmits symbolizes Divine love.
The lotus flower symbolizes spiritual awakening and enlightenment, transcendence over worldly matters, tranquility, purity of heart and mind, inner strength, and beauty.
The lotus flower iridesces in full bloom in an otherwise empty and desolate space when struck by heavenly light streaming through the stained-glass arch window. In the same way, Spirituality, with its attendant serenity and self-fulfillment, is rekindled by unhindered and unadulterated exposure to Divine love and mercy.
