Swastika......

The word Swastika is a Hindi pronunciation of the Sanskrit word ‘Su-Vastik’-सु-वास्तिक representing the same in meaning and values. The word ‘Su’ meaning ‘good/ auspicious/ all’ and ‘Astika’ अस्तिक means ‘being / may always be’. ‘Astika’ also means ‘believer’ which enhances the meaning of the Swastika to mean ‘Good-Believer’.

he four sides of the Swastika also symbolize four important aspects of Sanatana Dharma:

- Dharma धर्म (the Duty/Ethic)
- Artha अर्थ (wealth generation and wise usage of it)
- Karma कर्म (action and result of it)
- Moksha मोक्ष (liberation from cycle of death and re-birth)

The Swastika is:
- Auspicious! So it is used as a motif and good luck symbol on every door or entrance of a house, temple, work place and even on important documents like letterheads etc.
