SWASTIKA

• Derived from su, "well" and astu, "may it be," or "be it so .

• Given by Lord Ganesha

• The four bent arms stand for the four human aims, called purushartha; a potent emblem of Sanatana Dharma

SWASTIKA

• Single most common emblem in earth cultures• Encyclopaedia Britannica : "It was a favorite

symbol on ancient Mesopotamian coinage; it appeared in early Christian and Byzantine art (where it became known as the gammadion cross because its arms resemble the Greek letter gamma); and it occurred in South and Central America (among the Mayans) and in North America (principally among the Navajos). In India it continues to be the most widely used auspicious symbol of Hindus, Jainas and Buddhists."

SWASTIKA- Two Variants

• The right-hand swastika is one of the 108 symbols of the god Vishnu as well as a symbol of the sun and of the sun god Surya. The symbol imitates in the rotation of its arms the course taken daily by the sun, which appears in the Northern Hemisphere to pass from east, then south, to west. (It is also a symbol of the sun among Native Americans.)

SWASTIKA- Two Variants

• The left-hand swastika (called a sauvastika) usually represents the terrifying goddess Kali, night and magic. However, this form of the swastika is not "evil" and it is the form most commonly used in Budhism.

Swastika- Universal Symbol

The Laguna Diversion Dam is an earthfill diversion dam located 13 miles Northeast of Yuma, Arizona. It creates the Laguna Reservoir along the Colorado River. Constructed between 1909 and 1924, the Laguna Dam was decorated with numerous swastikas, thus developing the eventual nickname "Swastika Dam."

Before the Germanic people possessed any form of script, they used pictorial symbols that they scratched onto rocks. Especially common in Sweden, these prehistoric rock carvings or hallristningar are dated from the second Bronze Age (c. 1300 BCE).

Finnish Air Force- It is important to understand that the swastika emblem of the early Finnish Air Force has nothing to do with the Nazi Germany. The swastika was the symbol of good fortune used by the Swedish Count Eric von Rosen who during the Finnish Civil War presented to the Finnish White Army its first aircraft on March 6th, 1918. The swastika was painted on the upper side and under side of the wings of the Thulin Parasol he brought from Sweden. The symbol was adopted by the Finnish Air Force to honor him.

Socialist Sovient banknote from 1917. The designer of that banknote was an ethnic Latvian Rihards Zariņš. He created designs of paper money, postage stamps, certificates and more. He enjoyed the socialist symbolism of the swastika and he used it frequently, as in this banknote.

Why It Is

NOT a Nazi Symbol

Why It Is NOT a Nazi Symbol

• Hitler- In red, we see the social idea of the movement; in white, the nationalistic idea; in the swastika, the mission of the struggle for the victory of the Aryan man,

Why It Is NOT a Nazi Symbol

Thule GesellschaftThe Nazi Party (NSDAP) formally adopted the swastika in 1920. What inspired Hitler to use the swastika as a symbol for the NSDAP was its use by the Thule Society since there were many connections between them and the DAP. The Thule Society was a German occultist and Völkisch group in Munich, named after a mythical northern country from Greek legend.

Why It Is NOT a Nazi Symbol

Used by left-wing partiesSo the swastika symbol has not been created by the Nazis at all, they simply used an already existing symbol. The complete lack of any far-right connotations of the swastika in Asia is best illustrated by its use as a generic electoral symbol even by parties of the far-left.Communist party electoral banner in

Nepal, 1994.

Used in Israel-

One can also find a swastika on the floor of the Ein Geidi Synagoge. Ein Gedi is an oasis on the western shore of the Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth, some 400 m below sea level.

Why It Is NOT a Nazi Symbol

Banning symbol?European children should be told at school what a beautiful symbol the swastika is instead of referring only to the dark use made by the Nazis. If some European countries want to ban the swastika because the Nazis used it then in order to be consistent they should then also ban this symbol here

Contemporary Usage

• TajikistanIn 2005, authorities in Tajikistan called for the widespread adoption of the swastika as a national symbol.

• CanadaThe town of Swastika, Ontario, founded in 1908, got its name from a former mine of the same name, and inhabitants refused to have it changed during and after the Second World War.

Contemporary Usage

Official Raelian Symbol –• The star of David represents

infinity in space whereas the swastika represents infinity in time i.e. there being no beginning, no end in time and everything being cyclical.

• In 1991, the symbol was changed to remove the Swastika, out of respect to the victims of the holocaust, but as of 2007 has been restored to

its original form

Contemporary Usage

• The Theosophical Society uses a swastika as part of its seal, along with an Aum, a hexagram, a Star of David, an Ankh and an Ouroboros

• The Tantra-based religious movement Ananda Marga uses a motif similar to the Raëlians, but in their case the apparent star of David is defined as intersecting triangles with no specific reference to Jewish culture

Scientific Basis

Scientific Basis- Bovis scale• The intensity of the rays or vibrations, of a place, plant or object

can be measured using a dowsing pendulum. The Bovis scale utilises the knowledge of electromagnetic wavelengths and specifically the wavelength of red light which is in the region of 6,500 Ångström.

• The modern version of the Bovis scale was developed by Blanche Merz from the original by the engineer Simoneton, and the French physicist Andre Bovis.

• As units, he used the angstrom as used for light. After him the physicist Simonton realized that the angstrom is not the right unit; it is something else and called the units BOVIS units. The BOVIS Scale quantifies or measures how positively or negatively charged a substance is.

Scientific Basis- Bovis Scale

• The Earth itself creates energy in the 7,000 to 18,000 ranges. This energy is also referred to as "Bio- photons ", which are light particles invisible to our eyes. This positive radiation is necessary to the maintenance of life on Earth.”

Swastika (Any Size)

Scientific Basis- New Role• Swastika has new applications in optical

communications and could have a role in quantum cryptography

• Dr Darren Bagnall from the School of Electronics and Computer Science (ECS) at the University of Southampton has found that he can arrange tens of thousands of gold swastikas on a square millimetre to form new optical metamaterials that act to artificially change the polarisation of light, effectively "twisting" light in accordance with the rotation of the swastikas. By changing the degree of twist in a predictable way the chiral metamaterials can provide an alternative way to code information that is being transmitted using light.

Scientific Basis- New Role

• "The swastika has a number of special features, it is entirely made up of vertical and horizontal straight lines and it is square but can still provide the feeling of left-handed or right-handed rotation known as chirality. It is this chirality which causes our swastikas to twist light.”

• “While we are still at an early stage in our experiments, we can already anticipate applications in optoelectronics, laser physics and optical communications.”
