Examine the graphic. First of all, there are three primary shapes : The Cube, the Pyramid and the Sphere. I relate Islam to the cube as the Kaaba takes that shape. The color associated with Islam is Green as represented in the national flags of Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, etc. Christianity has much to do with the Egyptians and The Pyramid. I attribute Christianity to the color Blue as seen in the flags of USA, Israel, UK, Australia, etc. The Lotus Temple in New Delhi has 9 petals (all Bahai temples have a similar configuration) and Lotus signifies the color White which is an amalgam of Red, Green and Blue. The Bahai dictum is to follow the teachings of all religious faiths akin to Emperor Akbar’s Din-i-Ilahi or Divine Faith. Finally, the Matrimandir in Pondicherry has Gold plates and Gold is the color of Love. posted by Zafar Satyavan Saturday, December 24, 2005 at 12:04 PM
