swastika
In the esoteric world the different variations of the Swatika has a deep spiritual meaning. In
laymans terms it goes something like this: The horisontal line represets counciousness/mind. The vertical line represents energy. The four
angeled "end lines" signify the movement of the
Swastika. The righthand and lefthand schools of
tantra disagree upon which versions of the Swastika is beneficial or not. But they are in agreement that the one spinning clockwise represents creation, and the other the movement back to pure consciousness. The lefthand tantrikas rejoice in finding illumination through entering the world fully. Maxing the stimulation of all senses until transcendence occurs. The righthand tantrikas seek to withraw from the world to find unity with the
Parama Purusha (supreme counciousness). Hence the quarrel which version of the Swastika is the "good" one.

Quite possibly the coolest symbol ever drawn but that asshole
Hitler had to take it and it is now associated with
Nazism. That sucks incredibly because if I ever wanted to have a symbol for whatever organization I had I would choose that but I guess that Hitler thought the same thing so now if I draw it (because it is fun to draw) everyone calls me a nazi.
Example:
Stupid
Nazis had to take the swastika
geez why couldn't they have chosen
something stupid like a circle with a penis in it or something.

Although it is commonly believed the swastika originates from Hindu and
Indian culture, there is also evidence that it was used by ancient Aryan/Indo-Eurpoean tribes as a symbol of the Sun; the Sun being a subject of worship by the ancient tribes.
It is not unnatural that the swastika was a significant symbol in both
Indo-European and Sanskrit cultures
sinse the two had a considerable amount of ties.
It also seems logical that Hitler would use a symbol connected to Aryan culture.

was actually a hindu
symbol of peace until that bitch
adolf hitler took it,
flipped it in a different direction, and claimed it was his. He took a great symbol and made it one of death and destruction
Example:
Whoever thinks the swastika is a
nazi symbol is an idiot.
Whoever thinks the swastika is a
hindu symbol is smart.

Most commonly known to represent the nazis.
For over
3000 years it meant happiness, good luck, and harmony... this was
Hitler's ideal. So he used it to represent what was to become of the National Socialist German
Workers' Party. Of course, this ideal Hitler had required
conquest, and the swastika was used in their flag.
It has thus come to represent the nazis, the holocaust, and even to some extent WWII.

A really pretty symbol, which is also fun to draw. In ancient times, it was used all over the world as a symbol of good luck and
prosperity.
If I had an organization, then I would totally use a swastika as the symbol of it. But it turns out Hitler beat me to it.
So now the swastika has the exact opposite meaning of what it used to be- except for some random
white supremacists.
Sometimes I just don't know about that
Adolf.
Example:
Me: I love drawing swastikas- they're so pretty!
Jew: I HATE YOU, you Nazi!!
Me:
Up yours!!
Jew: *
sobs and runs away*

A symbol which was and still is used my Nazi and
Neo Nazi groups. The symbol is commonly mistaken for the sign of peae and prosperity used within the Hindu
belife. This is a misconception because where as the shapes may be identical, the Swatika is flipped vertically and rotated
45 degrees.

As any
know-it-all 15 year old will tell you, the swastika was originally an anicent Hindu symbol of good fortune and prosperity. However, it was used reletivly recently by the nazis and is still used by various hate groups. One would have to be very foolish to use the swastika with the anicient connotations. Would you wear a swastika
armband to wish everyone else good luck?
Example:
"Intellectual" 15 year old-I have a swastika drawn on my comp book because it used to be an ancient symbol of good stuff.
Senseable Person-But now its a symbol of the Nazis, racism, and bigotry, and is offensive to millions around the world. Besides, its not like the swastika has had its meaning "reclaimed". Get rid of it before people think that you are actually a Nazi.

Think of it this way:
Cadillacs used to be symbols of youth and wealth. Now they are symbols of old age. Does driving a
Caddy make people think that you are young and rich? No, usually people see a Caddy and
imagine that some old person is driving it. Same basic idea.
