In Chaitanya Tantric Tradition This Lotus should be meditated on by Rasika Bhaktas. Some naive people (usually beginners), reckoning themselves to be highly advanced try to burst into Gaudiya Tradition by meditating on Ashta-Kaliya Lila and etc.
In grim reality, before meditating on Ashta-Kaliya Lila they must do a lot of Manasa-Seva to Chief Manjaris and Gopis.
And the meditation on the Lotus (with Mantras) is one of the Angas of such Manasa-Seva.
