How Nazis used the Hindu Swastika
How did our Hindu Swastika become Hitler’s Nazi Symbol? Here’s the tea.
In ancient India, Swastika was derived from the two Sanskrit origins of Su & Asti meaning Good Exists.
The symbol was an amalgamaton of 4 hands being combined to represent our 4 vedas & also the 4 yugas or phases of time like the satya, dwapar, satya & kaliyug.
This was also seen appearing in many religions & beliefs around the world including Buddhism & Jainism where it 7th tirthankara & in Norse Mythology, it actually meant Thor’s Hammor.
The symbol was positive until 1870, when the German Heinrich Schliemann was excavating a site in Turkey & he foudn the world famous city of Homer’s Legend Troy & found this symbol in all the artefacts.
He mistook it as a proof of the Superhuman Aryan race from which Nazis believed they had descended from & so he took it to his boss, Mr. Hitler.
Hitler understood the power of symbols in politics so he tweaked the Swastika into the Hakenkruz & used it for his propoganda.
So that’s how another Hindu symbol or knowledge was corrupted by the Westerners who made it dirty & evil.
