The Red lotus is the Avatar
The White Lotus is the Divine Consciousness.
The Red Lotus represents Sri Aurobindo, the White one represents me. In a general way the lotus is the flower of the Divine Wisdom, whatever its colour. But red signifies the Avatar, the Divine incarnated in matter, and white signifies the Divine Consciousness manifested upon earth.

Remembrance of Sri Aurobindo
Let us strive to realise the ideal of life he has set before us
Common Name: Edging lobelia
Botanical Name: Lobelia erinus
Description: Tiny delicate blue half-salverform flower with three distinct lobes; borne in loose racemes. A very pretty low annual or perennial herb often used for beds, borders and hanging planters.
Spiritual Name: Remembrance of Sri Aurobindo
“This evening, instead of answering questions, I would like us to meditate on the remembrance of Sri Aurobindo, on the way to keep it alive in us and on the gratitude we owe him for all that he has done and is still doing in his ever luminous, living and active consciousness for this great realization which he came not only to announce to the Earth but also to realize, and which he continues to realize.
Tomorrow is the anniversary of his birth, an eternal birth in the history of the universe. “
- The Mother, 14th August 1957
