The symbol of initiation given by the Lord Krishna is the Thousand-petalled lotus. The Thousand-petalled lotus is a figurative and symbolic name for the highest (seventh) chakra, Sahasrara, of Kundalini energy within the human being. The Thousand-petalled lotus is the psychophysical basis for complete fusion with the Spirit. When the Yoga disciples are ready they open the seventh, Sahasrara, chakra and enter into samadhi. So, the blossoming of the Thousand-petalled lotus symbolises the ultimate goal of the Yoga path and receiving the Yoga initiation. This symbol implicily contains all the divine knowledge about the Yoga path and the secrets of the Universe.

The Thousand-petalled lotus represents this highest state of consciousness when the human being starts to blossom as a cosmic-spiritual flower with Divine beauty and fragrance. It shines as a star with a dazzling white light which integrates all colours of the spiritual rainbow.
