A few years ago I read a book that explained the meaning of the swastika. According to this book, the original swastika was a symbol of protection, but unlike the Nazi symbol, which looks like 2 S's in a criss-cross, the original symbol looks like 2 Z's in a criss-cross. Basically, the protection symbol looks like a cross spinning clockwise, and the Nazi's corrupted it into a cross spinning anti-clockwise. (Clockwise=good, anti-clockwise=evil.) I don't know how accurate this is, though (the image looks like the 2 S's in a criss-cross), but it's a nice theory.

Yes, All in the context of the usage. I do not mind getting old. It beats all the other options that can think of.

The word Swastika is derived from Sanskrit, and means "to be good". The meaning of Manji (Buddhist's version of the swastika) is different depending on what side you see. But neither side means evil. While one side means love and mercy, the other side means strength and intelligence. -- Arigato gozaimashita!

Yeah, in India you can find the symbol on every hindu house. They also use it during festivals. It is generally considered a symbol of prosperity and good luck, as you mentioned.

Absolutely. The "Swastika" is one of the most interesting symbols in all of human culture. It was even common among Native American tribes. One cannot help but wonder how a single symbol became as widespread as that. It is ironic that a symbol common to virtually all of humanity became the symbol of a group filled with nothing but hatred for the rest of the human race. "Benedict Arnold was a war hero too."

Hindus use kind of the same symbol as a religious one during festivities to ward off evil. Things have come full circle. :sigh: "One of the Georges," said Psmith, "I forget which, once said that a certain number of hours' sleep a day--I cannot recall for the moment how many--made a man something, which for the time being has slipped my memory."
