Literature | Lotus The Egyptians pictured God sitting on a lote-tree, above the watery mud. Jamblichus says the leaves and fruit of the lote-tree being round represent "the motion of intellect;" its towering up through mud symbolises the eminency of divine intellect over matter; and the Deity sitting on the lote-tree implies His intellectual sovereignty. (Myster. Egypt., sec. 7, cap. ii. p. 151.) Lotus. Mahomet says that a lote-tree stands in the seventh heaven, on the right hand of the throne of God. Dryope of OEchalia was one day carrying her infant son, when she plucked a lotus flower for his amusement, and was instantaneously transformed into a lotus. Lotis, daughter of Neptune, fleeing from Priapus, was metamorphosed into a lotus. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |

The term lotus may refer to:
- An aquatic plant of the genera Nyphaea or Nelumbo (see Nymphaeaceae)
- Lotus Cars, a British car manufacturer.
- Lotus Development, a Cambridge, MA, software company now owned by IBM.
- A genus in the subfamily Faboideae
- The Lotus Position (meditation)
The lotus tree
The word "lotus" is also applied to a tree unrelated and not resembling the aquatic plant. The Lotus-eaters of the Odyssey are thought to have eaten a species of jujube or Zizyphus; this would be the lotus tree that the mythological Lotis had been transformed into. The genus Lotus belongs to the Fabaceae.Source: adapted by the editor from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia under a copyleft GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) from the article "Lotus."

Lotus Cars is a British manufacturer of sports and racing cars based in Hethel, Norfolk, formed as Lotus Engineering Ltd. by the engineer Colin Chapman (1928-1982) in 1952.
The company encouraged its customers to race its cars, and itself entered Formula 1 as a team in 1958. Major success came in 1963 with the Lotus 25, which - with Jim Clark driving - won Lotus its first World Championship. Clark's early death - he crashed driving a Formula 2 Lotus 48 in March 1968 - was a severe blow to the team and to Formula 1. He was the dominant driver in the dominant car, and remains inseparable from Lotus's early years. That year's championship was won by Clark's team-mate, Graham Hill.
Chapman died in 1982, leaving behind the messy financial scandal of the DeLorean project, for which it is likely he would have been convicted.
Until the mid-1980s, Lotus was still a major player in Formula 1. Ayrton Senna drove for the Lotus from 1985 to 1987, winning twice in each year and achieving 17 pole positions. By the company's last Formula 1 race in 1994 the cars were very uncompetitive. Lotus won a total of 79 Grand Prix races.
In 1986 the company was bought by General Motors. On August 27, 1993 GM sold the company for £30 million to ACBN Holdings S.A. of Luxembourg, a company controlled by Italian businessman Romano Artioli who also owned Bugatti Automobili SpA. Both the Lotus and Bugatti operations went bankrupt and in 1996 Lotus was sold to Perusahaan Otomobil Nasional Bhd (Proton), the state-owned Malaysian car company.
The company now also acts as an engineering consultancy, performing development, particularly of suspension, for other car manufacturers.

Previous Lotus road cars include:
- 1963: Jim Clark
- 1965: Jim Clark
- 1968: Graham Hill
- 1970: Jochen Rindt
- 1972: Emerson Fittipaldi
- 1978: Mario Andretti
Current models:
- Lotus Seven (and Super Seven) - The Lotus Seven is a classic open sports car, a minimalist machine designed to maneuver around a race track - and do nothing else. Amazingly, this 1957 design is still widely produced by a number of small British specialty firms, including Caterham Cars.
- Lotus Elite
- Lotus Elan - Two generations of Elan were produced, both extremely innovative for their time. The first, in the 1960's, was a small light roadster that made use of the Lotus-trademark steel backbone frame, coupled with a fiberglass body. This car was the design inspiration for the 1990 Mazda Miata.
- Lotus Europa - 1970's mid-engine sports car.
- Lotus Elan - The second Elan, released in 1989, was a technical tour de force but one that also defied tradition, to its detriment. The idea of a front-drive Lotus, powered by a turbocharged Isuzu engine, might have been a great concept on the drawing board, and even on the test track. But this car was not loved by Lotus loyalists, and its price/performance ratio didn't win it any friends in the general public either.
Lotus also produces the Vauxhall VX220 / Opel Speedster for General Motors, based on the same aluminium chassis design as the Lotus Elise.
- Lotus Esprit - A mid-engine sports car, born in the early 1970's, and still in production today. The Esprit shocked everyone at launch - its geometric, laser-cut lines seemed far more futuristic than anything on the road - or on the movie screen, for that matter (the car prominently featured in the Bond movie The Spy Who Loved Me). The styling was by Italian designer Giugiaro. The Esprit started with a light, high-strung 4-cylinder design, which went through several iterations of turbocharging and electronic upgrades, before finally being replaced by a highly advanced V8.
- Lotus Elise - The Elise incorporates many engineering innovations, such as an aluminum extrusion frame and a composite body shell. The Elise has also spawned several racing variants, including an exotic limited series called the 340R, which had an open-body design echoing the famed Seven.
- Lotus Exige
Many classic Lotus cars feature the 2.2 litre 16-valve engine which was closely based on Vauxhall's Slant Four.

The Lotus Position (Sanskrit: Padmasanam -- "lotus sitting posture") is a cross-legged sitting posture which is used in Yoga, Zen and other meditative disciplines. The position is said to resemble a lotus; and to encourage "proper" breathing and physical discipline.In this position the right foot is placed on the left thigh and the left foot on the right thigh with the soles of the feet turned up, the spine is straight. In Yoga the hands are placed on the knees whereas in zazen the hands rest with the palms turned upwards on the heels of the feet.

Lotus Software (called Lotus Development Corporation before its acquisition by IBM) is an American software company headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Lotus was founded in 1982 by partners Mitch Kapor and Jonathan Sachs. Lotus introduced its first product, the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet application, in January 1983.As the popularity of the personal computer grew, Lotus quickly came to dominate the office applications suite market. Lotus introduced other office products such as the Jazz office suite for the Macintosh computer, WordPro, AmiPro, Organizer, ScreenCam. In the early 1990s, these office products were bundled together under the name Lotus SmartSuite. Although SmartSuite was initially a popular and affordable alternative to Microsoft Office, Lotus never regained its dominance in the desktop applications market. SmartSuite still ships by default with some Compaq and IBM laptops, although it has continued to lose market share since its launch.
Lotus began focusing on networking with its acquisition of cc:Mail in 1991, years before other competitors in the PC world had even started thinking about the Internet. Facing the inevitable loss of desktop market share to competitors like Microsoft, Lotus made a strategic decision in the early 1990s to focus on the groupware and Internet market. In 1993, Lotus acquired Ray Ozzie's Iris Associates and launched its Lotus Notes groupware platform. However, Lotus's dominant groupware position was soon to face stiff competition from Microsoft's Exchange server.
Corporate culture
Following in founder Mitch Kapor's footsteps, Lotus has always had a reputation as a progressive company. In 1986, Lotus was the first major company to support an AIDS walk. In 1990, Lotus opened a daycare for the children of its employees. In 1992, Lotus was the first major company to offer full benefits to same-sex partners. In 1998, Lotus was named one of the Top 10 best companies to work for working mothers by Working Mother magazine.
Lotus, which employs over 4,000 employees worldwide, was acquired by IBM in July 1995 for 3.5 billion dollars. IBM's purchase was greeted with apprehension by many Lotus employees, who feared that the corporate culture of "Big Blue" would smother their creativity. To the surprise of many employees and journalists, IBM adopted a very hands-off, laissez-faire attitude towards its new acquisition.
However, by the year 2000, the inevitable assimilation of Lotus was almost complete. While the mass employee defections that IBM so feared did not materialize, many long-time Lotus employees did complain about the transition to IBM's culture (IBM's employee benefits programs, in particular, were singled out as inferior to Lotus's very progressive programs).
Lotus's headquarters in Cambridge used to be divided into two buildings, the Lotus Development Building (LDB) (on the banks of the Charles River) and the Rogers Street building, located adjacent to the CambridgeSide Galleria. However, in 2001, then President and General Manager, Al Zollar decided not to renew the lease of LDB. The subsequent migration of employees across the street (and into home offices) generally coincided with what was probably the final exodus of employees from the company.
The integration of Lotus into IBM continues. Today, it is a software brand within IBM's Software Group. Within Lotus, there is still a strong sense of unity. Many employees formerly within Lotus, though they have moved into and embraced the rest of IBM, still identify with Lotus and see themselves as part of the Lotus community.
Origins
Mitch Kapor got the name for his company from 'The Lotus Position' or 'Padmasana'. Kapor used to be a teacher of Transcendental Meditation technique as taught by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.External links

The Nymphaeaceae (water lilies) belong to the Order Nymphaeales.
Nymphaea colorata from Africa is a member
of the Nymphaeaceae
The White Egyptian lotus is in the genus Nymphaea..
Lotus
The lotus is a water lily in either the genus Nymphaea (the Egyptian lotus) or genus Nelumbo (the Indian lotus). Like most water lilies, both plants have round leaves that float on the surface of the water. Nymphaea leaves have a radial notch; Nelumbo leaves do not. Leaves lacking a notch reaching into the petiole (leaf stem) are called peltate. Nelumbo fruit is often used in flower arrangements. It has about twenty pits in its upper surface, each of which contains a seed. Both plants have been used as religious symbols.
Nelumbo, the Indian lotus has peltate leaves.Source: adapted by the editor from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia under a copyleft GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) from the article "Water lily."
