Meaning of Swastika Symbol in Vedic Palmistry
In order to understand the meanings of the special symbols in Vedic Palmistry and what these symbols may represent for you if found in your hand, you need to understand the true meaning of these symbols.
The swastika is an ancient religious symbol originating from the Indian subcontinent, that generally takes the form of an equilateral cross with four legs, each bent at 90 degrees. It is considered to be a sacred and auspicious symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism and dates back at least 11,000 years.
By the early 20th century, it was used worldwide and was regarded as a symbol of good luck and success. Since its adoption by the Nazi Party of Adolf Hitler, the swastika has been associated with Nazism, fascism, white supremacy racism and the Holocaust in much of the West.
The name Swastika comes from the Sanskrit word Svastika and denotes a “lucky or auspicious object”. Svastika is a compound of Sva, meaning the “Self”; Astika, itself a compound of Asti, meaning “Existent” or “Existing”; and Ka, which denotes the neutral gender. Thus, the literal meaning of Swastika is “One that is self-existent”, or “self-existing”, in other words; “Unborn and directly originating from eternity since time eternal“.
It has been used as a decorative element in various cultures since at least the Neolithic Age. It is known most widely as an important symbol, long used in Indian religions, denoting “auspiciousness”. In many Western countries, the Swastika has been highly stigmatized because of its association with Nazism.
