this one may surprise a few...
most recognised symbol of our times perhaps....incites hatred and racism.
this is the origional symbol and its meaning.....the germans stole it and bastardised it from its true meaning...
The swastika is a familiar sight to all those raised in Hindu culture. It adorns spiritual books, pictures of Deities, and religious implements used in worship services. Swastikas are common on Hindu wedding invitations. In fact a symbol that appears to westerners to be a swastika in the middle of a Jewish star of David has been used for thousands of years as a symbol of the combined blessings of Lord Ganesha (the remover of obstacles) and his brother Karttikeya (the god of love and the remover of negativity). By the way, contrary to anything you might be told, �Swastika� is not and has never been a German word. It is ancient Sanskrit from India which has simply been used so often in this century in connection with Hitler that it�s origins have been totally forgotten.
