I always thought that Kanda was named as he is because he's Japanese, and since there are a lot of ties to religion and God here I thought Kanda was chosen because it had the character for 'god' in it. >>;
I also never knew that the lotus had so many ties to Hinduism. But in China and possibly Japan, it's regarded as "a flower that blossoms every 1000 years, and will continue to blossom"; basically meaning that it's an immortal/regenerating/whatever type of flower. So that's my reason for the decision of a lotus. (Or maybe it's there to make fun of Kanda's interest of gardening and his lack of masculinity.)
