What is the "real" meaning of it then?
That was my question and why I came here. I know this symbol has some deeper meaning before Nazi regime but I have never really gotten it's true history and why it was so popular.
Some say it's a sun symbol. Best explanation I found is the big dippers position around the north star throughout the year. I like to think there's more to it
I've seen East Indians decorating their hotel entrance with such a symbol. I didn't bother asking about it because I figure it's an ancient Hindu religious thing or something.
To me, the swastika looks like an ancient 2D representation of a spiral - clockwise or counterclockwise. Perhaps having to do with either a physical event (e.g., spirals in the sky like happened over Scandinavia some years ago), or communication to and from the heavens.
