"The swastika, (please draw swastika are on rotation on the left here), which is the sign that indicates good in ancient India. In addition to India, Persia, Greece has this badge, usually seen as symbolizing the Sun, lightning, fire, water flows.

In ancient India, Buddhist, Brahmin, States na, used the same word. First, the Indians held that this Insignia is the twisted hairs in the chest of the Brahma, Bhikkhu low emancipation (Sanskrit: Visnu), the sand flip iron noa (Sanskrit: Krsna) and normally treat this as a sign of good, pure, full circle.
