Answer 5

t0he swastika is a pan cultural symbol. By this I mean it is not original to any one culture. Much like the triangle or the 6 pointed star. Most will tell you its Hindu, howevr it is not, that is merely one place it ahs been found.

As a symbol it generally represents a swirling symbol. It represents the "wheel of life" The wheel of life (as seen in many religions) represents the journey of the individual, the soul and the physical self. From birth to child, to adult hood, old age and death, to birth to child etc. In hinduism this passage is called Samsara. The passage of birth death adn birth. It is the goal of hinduism to leave this passage and transcend it.
