Swastika
The swastika is an ancient Hindu, Jain, and Buddist symbol. As a Hindu symbol, it is one of the 108 symbols of Vishnu and represents the sun’s rays without which there would be no life. But how did the Nazi’s adopt it? A detailed history of the swastika can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika.
Way back, the Arayans moved from present day China to India and eventually to Europe. These ancient Arayans spoke what linguists have termed the Indo-European language. Essentially, it is the predecessor language to German and Sanskrit. This is why German sentence structure is identical to Sanskrit. The swastika, from the Indo-European language, continued to be used by the Hindus, Jains, and Buddists in India. When Hitler was looking for a symbol for his Arayan race, he chose the ancient Indo-European symbol, and then perverted it. Interesting!
