Misunderstood meaning of the Swastika * 3
    #19238387 - 12/06/13 08:48 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

The original meaning of the swastika generally means that something is good among many cultures.

Sanskrit: meaning any lucky or auspicious object
In Indian religions the swastika is a historical sacred symbol both to evoke tantric rituals and evoke the gods for blessings.
The swastika is recognized as a Hindu symbol in most parts of the world.

This symbol was used throughout history by many continents such as Europe, Asia, North America, and Africa. (used in
Jainism, Hinduism, Buddism, Armenia, Iran, Baltic, Celtic, Illyricans, Salics, Sami)

More information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika

Damn Nazis ruined a perfectly good symbol...

my friend who is hindu when i went in his old home there was a swastika with one of their gods in the living room.  Another one of my friends has a swastika tattoo except the edges are curved so it looks a little less nazi.

The NAZIs had good taste for sure. Its hip now to not like it even aesthetically or for what it really means because people don't want to be seen as NAZI sympathizers. Ever wonder why those SS guys looked so damn good/hot in their uniforms? They were designed by Hugo Boss!!! But everyone still at least loves good style but don't wear this designer suit to your next interview...

Cool tip: Some one I met (and trust completely) once told me that putting the an pre-nazi image of the swastika around your place, in plain sight, will aid one in being able to lucid dream. Claimed that something about the shape itself effects your brain

If this site is believed the union jack (red white and blue) scheme is the most common in imperial color schemes.

It's possible that this could be the flakiest comment I've ever seen on the shroomery.

haha yeah it was worded pretty sketch. A fellow new age-y dude swears by it, apparently he picked it up from the book "The Master of Lucid Dreams" by Olga Khartidi. I haven't had a chance to scope the book out, so idk I only have his word

The Swastika should be rehabilitated, it has over 3000 years of significance only to be tarnished in a decades time.  In Tibet, the direction is quite important. Tibetan Buddhists subscribe to the "s" shape. The indigenous pre-Buddhist Bonpo religion is the opposite direction

I believe it's not a"s" good, opposite bad type dynamic as posited above.

you know, we should have a commercial running day in and day out, that people have to watch if they wanna stoop down in their chairs and watch the boob tube... that says "idiot. the Swastika means a ton of stuff, but look at the symbol... it's an older then fuck symbol for all the ends of the Earth... it doesn't MEAN NAZI".

over and over again, until everyone gets what should be fuckin' obvious.

The innocence of that idea, juxtaposed against the complete clusterfuck that would ensue makes this an awesome post.

One time my buddies and I were tripping, and I was drawing galaxies in increasingly symbolic ways, and at some point my friends were laughing their asses off because I was drawing swastikas on everything.

I thought they were galaxies until I remembered what a swastika was, hahaha.

Two very popular old Nordic shield paint designs that are just the sun / swastika symbol that supossedly Hitler stole from those poor old hindus.




It was a celebration of life for the National Socialists just like it is everywhere else.
