    Chitraji, One small doubt. Why do we use 4 dots between the 4 quadrants in swastika?

    Hi,
    I read in a book that the four dots represent the four vedas. But I cannot vouchsafe for the validity of the statement.
    Love,
    Chithra.

    Well some kind of "reanimation" of this thread :D

    Thanks for Your interesting posting, Chitvish.
    I´ve read, that the left-handed swastika is blue colored, is that right?

    Hi Sumanr,
    no, the "Hakenkreuz" is right-handed, and the Nazis had chosen the right-handed swastika because they thought it would bring luck and success for their German Reich and the establishment of the arian world domiation... :roll:


    If You ladies like, I will write some infos about the swastika in Germany when I´m getting time. :)

    Hi, Ma,
    Here I find every house door having 2 Swasthika stickers but I thought it might be their custom...thru your post came to know the significance I too will buy n paste them....

    I wonder by using inauspicious Swasthika Hitler let himself down or by did it show his intentions are against dharma .... Gods ways are really unexplainable..

    Dear Ma,
    I meant though Hitler didnt know our values he used inauspicious swasthika so I guess God in His inimitable way was indicating that this man is evil and his plans wont work


    Hi Siat
    We would like to know German version also please share....
