Nazi swastika meaning. Key travel destinations

The swastika, that is, a cross with curved ends, has been known to many peoples, including the Slavs, for a long time. The ends of the swastika can be bent both clockwise and counterclockwise. Its color may be different, there is different variants forms and arrangement. Banned the fascist swastika on Nuremberg trials like Nazi symbols. Our kpasnoarmey also once wore a swastika on their uniform.

This symbol - the swastika - has been used by the ancient Aryans, Slavs and other peoples since time immemorial. It's just that Hitler made the swastika a symbol of his party, and when he came to power and a symbol of the Third Reich.

Indicates the symbol of the Sun, Solstice.

The swastika is one of the most widely used graphic symbols that has been used by many peoples of the world since ancient times. This symbol was present on clothes, coats of arms, weapons, household items. In Sanskrit svasti means happiness. In America, these are four letters L four words Love -love, Life -life, Luck - fate, luck, Light - light.

Hitler made the swastika a symbol of Nazi Germany and since then the attitude towards her has changed. She became a symbol of Nazism, barbarism, misanthropy. The Nazi swastika was a black hoe-shaped cross with the ends pointing to the right and rotated at an angle of 45 degrees. After the Second World War, the image of the swastika was banned in several countries.

German swastika appeared during the reign of Hitler. He approved it as a symbol of the Aryan nation.

But the swastika appeared before Hitler's Germany, and for many peoples meant the symbol of the Sun, solar energy. True, these two swastikas differ in that the corners of the cross are turned in the other direction.

The swastika is a cross with the continuation of the sides, both clockwise and counterclockwise.

It gained great popularity after the Second World War, when the Nazis made a swastika with clockwise rotation of the sides as their symbol and became famous all over the world ...

In fact, the swastika appeared a very long time ago and was a symbol among many peoples, mainly from the positive side - it meant movement, the sun or together: the movement of the sun, as well as light and in many respects well-being ...

Germany acquired this symbol in the summer of 1920, then Hitler approved it as a symbol of the party in which he was the leader ...

By the way, Hitler thought that this symbol - the swastika actually reflected the struggle of the Aryans and as the triumph of the victory of the Aryan race ...

Is the swastika the oldest graphic symbol? or?, which was used by almost all peoples in the world, but Nazi Germany used the swastika sign as a sign of Nazism and because of this coincidence everyone thinks that it is prohibited.

The German swastika is not any swasti used by all peoples as a symbol of the sun and prosperity.

The Nazi swastika has distinctive features - it is a quadrangular cross with angles bent at 45 degrees and turned to the right. For comparison, the Suasti (Kolovrat among the Slavs) is turned to the left. Well, the colors of different nations to indicate the symbol of the sun different

The Nazis took the swastika idea from Indian culture.

In India swastika - this is a visual embodiment of the sound Omquot ;:



The Nazis, without the knowledge of the Hindus, took the idea of ​​this sign from them and rechecked the meaning of the symbol.

Even the word Aryans taken from the Indian Arya which means the highest, pure.

In India, this word was used in a positive sense: courteous, sophisticated, learned, and the Nazis called the Aryans the upper class of people.

Many Germans behaved somewhat like Hindus. Himmler practiced yoga, called himself a Kshatriya (the second most important caste in India) and claimed to be waging a just war.



The Nazis received new spiritual knowledge from India from the spy Savitri Devi. She passed on to Hitler all the information about the customs of India, and the SS leader altered everything to his tune.



Following the traditions of the Hindus in his country, Hitler wanted to become the last avatar of Vishnu - Kalki. God in this incarnation was supposed to destroy all unclean things and populate the planet anew. This was Hitler's key idea - he wanted to remove unworthy; and leave people of the highest rank on the planet - the Aryans.

Is the swastika banned?

The swastika is now prohibited only in the Hitler version. I am from Kiev, and somehow I saw how opposite the building Verkhovna Rada gathered strange people in identical outfits with an image very similar to the swastika. It turns out they were fans of Hinduism. Thus, they showed that you can put up with everything, and that you need to be wiser (I communicated with them).

And you never need to blindly believe in anything! The Germans believed Hitler, and what did this lead to? Analyze, don't get fooled and be fair. No philosophy or idea is worthy of existence if it divides people.

The German swastika is the opposite of the sun symbol. It is not prohibited everywhere. I know for sure that it is still banned in Germany. In many computer games the swastika was replaced by another symbol, especially for Germany.

In general, the swastika is a symbol of the Sun, good luck, happiness and creation. It was used at all times and by all peoples, and they probably began to prohibit it after the Nazis began to use it.

The swastika is a graphic symbol. Different peoples at different times had their own images of the swastika. The most commonly used is a 4-beam swastika. The German swastika was approved by Hitler himself as a symbol of the workers' party. She represented

Swastika symbolism, as the most ancient, is most often found in archaeological excavations. More often than other symbols, it was found in ancient burial mounds, on the ruins of ancient cities and settlements. In addition, swastika symbols were depicted on various details of architecture, weapons, clothing and household utensils among many peoples of the world. Swastika symbolism is ubiquitous in ornamentation as a sign of Light, Sun, Love, Life. The swastika was often printed by E. Phillips and other manufacturers postcards in the United States and Great Britain in the 1900-1910s, calling it the “cross of happiness”, consisting of “four Ls”: Light (light), Love (love), Life (life) and Luck (good luck).

The Greek name for the swastika is gammadion (four letters gamma). In the post-war Soviet legends it was widely believed that the swastika consists of 4 letters "G", symbolizing the first letters of the names of the leaders of the Third Reich - Hitler, Goebbels, Himmler, Goering (and this is given that in German these surnames began with different letters - "G" and "H").

Because “the consequences of the barbaric attitude towards the swastika are very deplorable for modern culture Russian peoples. It is a known fact when, during the Second World War, the workers of the Kargopol Museum of Local Lore destroyed a number of unique embroideries containing an ornamental swastika motif for fear of being accused of Nazi agitation. Until now, in most museums, art monuments with a swastika are not included in the main exhibition. Thus, through the fault of public and state institutions supporting "swastikophobia", a millennial cultural tradition is being suppressed. "

An interesting incident related to this issue occurred in Germany in 2003. The Chairman of the German Falun Dafa Association (Falun Dafa is ancient system a cultivation of soul and life based on moral uplift) unexpectedly received a criminal notice from the German district attorney, where he was accused of displaying an "illegal" symbol on a website (the Falun emblem contains a swastika of the Buddha system).

The case turned out to be so unusual and interesting that its consideration lasted more than six months. The final verdict of the court stated that the Falun symbol is legal and permissible in Germany, and also indicated that the Falun symbol and the illegal symbol are completely different from each other in appearance and have completely different meaning... Excerpt from the judgment: “The Falun symbol represents peace and harmony in the mind, which is precisely what the Falun Gong movement has firmly advocated.

There are Falun Gong practitioners all over the world. Falun Gong is now brutally persecuted in its country of origin, China. So far, 35,000 people have been arrested, and several hundred of them have been sentenced to imprisonment from 2 to 12 years without providing any evidence of the prosecution. " The prosecutor did not want to accept such a court verdict and appealed.

Following a thorough investigation of the District Court's verdict, the Court of Appeal ruled to uphold the original verdict and refuse further appeals. A similar case occurred in Moldova, where a similar case has been pending since September 2008, and only on January 26, 2009, a court decision was issued with a verdict to completely reject the prosecutor's petition and admit that the Falun Dafa emblem had nothing to do with the Nazi swastika.

The swastika became popular in European culture in the 19th century - on the wave of the fashion of the Aryan theory. English astrologer Richard Morrison organized the Order of the Swastika in 1869. She is found in the pages of books by Rudyard Kipling. The swastika was also used by the founder of the Boy Scout movement, Robert Baden-Powell. In 1915, the swastika, which has been widespread in Latvian culture since ancient times, was depicted on the banners of battalions (later regiments) of Latvian riflemen Russian army. Great importance Occultists and Theosophists also gave this sacred sign. According to the latter, "the swastika ... is a symbol of energy in motion, which creates the world, breaking through holes in space, creating vortices, which are atoms that serve to create worlds." The swastika was part of the personal emblem of E.P. Blavatsky and adorned almost all the prints of Theosophists.

Suffice it to say that in the Middle Ages, the swastika was never opposed to the six-pointed star as a supposedly specific symbol of Judaism. On the miniature to "The Chants of St. Mary" by Alfonso of the Sabaean swastika and two six-pointed stars are depicted next to the Jewish usurer. Before World War II, swastika mosaics adorned a synagogue in Hartford, Connecticut.
"The Rainbow Swastika" by Hannah Newman, a person who takes the positions of Orthodox Judaism. In her book, she exposes the so-called "conspiracy of Aquarius" - directed, in her opinion, against world Jewry. She believes that the main enemy of Jewry is the New Age movement, behind which are the mysterious occult forces of the East. For us, its conclusions are valuable in that they confirm our ideas about war, confrontation, two forces - the power of the present era, ruled by the Old Tower, the Black Lodge, and relying on the assertion of material reality, and the power of the "dynamis", the New Aeon, the Green Dragon or Ray, the White Lodge, striving to overcome this reality. It is very significant that according to Hannah Newman, Russia is under the control of the conservative Jewish-Christian alliance, preventing the destructive plans of the White Lodge. This explains the wars of the 20th century against Russia, as well as its inevitable "erosion" that we can observe in our time.

“The book is called The Rainbow Swastika by Hannah Newman. The first edition of the book appeared in March 1997 - the text was posted on the website of the University of Colorado by activists of the Jewish Student Union. Two years later, he was removed from the University of Colorado website without explanation. The full English version of the 2nd edition (2001) can be downloaded from the above address.
Written from the racist standpoint of Orthodox Judaism, the book is quite detailed analysis philosophy and programs of the NEW AGE movement, which the author identifies with the Illuminati and with the forces behind the New World Order. In her opinion, Kabbalah is an alien body in the doctrine of Judaism, a teaching closer to Tibetan BUDDHISM, destroying Judaism from the inside.

The postulates of the New Age are most clearly stated in the writings of theorists of the Theosophical Society, founded by Helena Blavatsky (Khan) in 1875. The author traces the following ideological continuity: Helena Blavatsky - Alice Bailey - Benjamin Cream. Blavatsky herself claimed that her writings were just a recording of some esoteric teaching "dictated by the Tibetan Masters" named Morya and Koot Hoomi. Another Tibetan Master, Djwahl Kuhl, became Alice Bailey's guru. Almost everyone ideologically adheres to the New Age international organizations and structures, starting with the UN and UNESCO and ending with such as Greenpeace, Scientology, World Council of Churches, Council of International Relations, Club of Rome, Bilderbergers, Skull and Bones Order, etc.
Religious philosophical basis NA consists of Gnosticism, Kabbalah, Buddhism, the doctrine of reincarnation and racial karma, with the addition of a prefabricated hodgepodge from almost all known pagan cults. The main blow of the movement is directed against monotheistic religions. Its goal is the establishment of the satanic cult of Maitreya / Lucifer, the worship of "Mother-Goddess Earth" (mother Earth, capital "E" - hence Enron, Einstein, recently activated Etna, etc.), reduction of the planet's population to 1 billion people and the transfer of civilization from the materialistic to the spiritual and mystical path of development. The author calls the Newager movement "The Aquarian Conspiracy" after the title of the book published in 1980 by Marilyn Ferguson. The final goal is even more incredible, I will talk about it below.
The more mundane and specific landmarks of the Aquarian Conspiracy (since 1975 it has become OPEN) are the following four main goals:
Overcoming the PROBLEM OF TERRITORIAL OWNERSHIP, that is, the elimination of sovereign national state formations.
Solving the PROBLEM OF SEX or changing the motivation of sexual intercourse - their only goal should be "the production of physical bodies for the reincarnation of souls."
Rethinking and lowering the psychological VALUE of INDIVIDUAL LIFE to carry out a GLOBAL CLEANING on the planet, eliminate all opponents of the New Age and conduct a WORLD INITIATION into the cult of Lucifer.
Final Solution to the PROBLEM OF JEWS AND JUDAISM.
5 World Control Centers stand out in the establishment of a NEW WORLD ORDER: London, New York, Geneva, Tokyo and Darjeeling (India). One of the "students of Maitreya" Benjamin Cream named Mikhail GORbachev. (Hitler was also a Newager, there was even a whole chapter dedicated to the occult connections of the Nazis. There is nothing new in it, however.)
The inevitable, according to the author, a world collision should occur both on the material and on the spiritual-mystical level due to the aggravation of the confrontation between the WHITE and BLACK LODS in the era of the change of the ERA OF PISCES (0-2000) to the ERA OF AQUARIUS (2000-4000). Representatives of the Black Lodge (Dark Forces) are supporters of the currently dominant concept of the material world and use the Jews as their tool for programming the consciousness of the masses in line with the dominant ILLUSION of physical reality. The White Lodge is the conductor of spirituality in the world and is under the leadership of the HIERARCHY of some immaterial ASCENDED MASTERS (Ascended Masters). Cosmology, mythology, eschatology and the NEW AGE program are detailed in the works of Blavatsky and Bailey. Newagers have their own TRINITY or LOGOS (apparently, this is the same LOGOS that was at the beginning of everything, according to the Gospel of John): Sanat Kumara (god-demiurge, the creator of man), Maitreya-Christ (Messiah) and Lucifer (Satan, the bearer light and reason). They form the Planetary Logos and embody the THREE RULING COSMIC ENERGIES. A whole Hierarchy of masters, sages and teachers of humanity is built under them.
The beginning of the Third World War and is, according to the author, a manifestation on the material level of the collision of the White and Black Lodges (in other words, the collision of Satanists-Gnostics with materialistic Jews). Russia is mentioned only once in the book, in the context of a quote from Alice Bailey, who considered it a completely controlled springboard of the BLACK LODGE.

Plan.
The Tibetan teacher Alice Bailey (Jval Kul - DK) confirmed the prediction voiced by Helena Blavatsky in due time that the OPEN IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN would begin no earlier than the “end of the XXth century”. It should be preceded by INFILTRATION of all strata of society by "agents of change", the widespread dissemination of mystical practices, including those related to drug use to introduce adepts into a "stable state of altered consciousness." What exactly should be such a perversion of consciousness? In activation of intuition and REFUSAL OF LOGICAL THINKING, and ultimately - in a complete REFUSAL OF OWN "I", in dissolution in the COLLECTIVE EGREGOR. First, by the widespread cultivation of collective thinking (GROUP THINKING) and the general synchronization of consciousness, the construction of the ANTAHKARANA (antahkarana) - the mystical horizontal BRIDGE of the RAINBOW (“The Rainbow Bridge”) is achieved. Upon completion of the construction of the horizontal BRIDGE, when the UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS is finally created, an attempt should be made to establish spiritual contact with the immaterial representatives of the HIERARCHY (White Lodge), i.e., the construction of the VERTICAL ANTAHKARANA. The successful establishment of such contact by HUMANITY will be a prerequisite for its entry into a fundamentally new stage of development. According to one of the main ideologues of NEW AGE, the candidate for vice-president of the United States from the Democratic Party (1984) BARBARA MARX HUBBARD, the construction of the Vertical BRIDGE of the RAINBOW will be an irreversible change in the history of our civilization. According to other sources, the MOST can only be installed for a short period of time and will inevitably fall apart again.
Thus, the current process of GLOBALIZATION is nothing more than an attempt to build a mystical all-planetary RAINBOW BRIDGE to establish contact with the higher spiritual substances around us. Karl Marx is resting!
All three substances of the LOGOS must consistently materialize on Earth in order to REACTIVATE THE PLAN: first Lucifer, then Maitreya and finally Sanat Kumara. A script for the COMING OF THE MESSIAH has already been developed specifically for the Jews, which will have to finally dismantle JUDAISM and, possibly, organize the HOLOCAUST - a large-scale liquidation of the Jews as carriers of vicious racial karma.
The author gives numerous examples of the total infiltration of even Orthodox Jewish circles by New Agers. The scale of the AQUARIUS CONSPIRACY is overwhelming, it takes the most Active participation many "non-religious Jews", so some researchers consider the NEW AGE movement to be one of the offspring of Judaism. Nevertheless, Hannah Newman is convinced that JUDAISM (along with Christianity and Islam) will become its main victim. The main allies of the Orthodox Jews in the fight against the Conspiracy are, in her opinion, the Christian Evangelists, thanks to their ideological closeness to the Jews and BIBLICAL FANATISM shared by both groups.

"Ur-Ki" is the name of the oldest capital in the world; capitals of Russian, Jewish, Ukrainian, German, French, Italian, English, Swedish, Danish, Russian, Armenian, Georgian, Azeri, Iranian, Iraqi, Indian, Chinese, Tibetan, Egyptian, Libyan, Spanish, American and almost all other peoples of the world ...

"Ur-Ki" is the most ancient name of Kiev, which at first was located just below the Dnieper (in the Cherkassy region, where the ruins of the largest and most ancient city in the world were recently found), and now it is the capital of Ukraine, the sacred city of the first ancestors - Kiev ...
The name of the most ancient primary capital of the world "Ur-Ki" consists of Old Russian words - the word "Ur" and the word "Ki". "Ur" is the name of the ancient Russian God the Son, his parents and creators of all things are considered God the Father (the Most High) and the Goddess Mother (Agni), in the primordial element of fire (Sva) who gave birth to the Manifest world from the Unmanifest world of images - that is, who gave birth to God the Son of Ur, which is the entire visible Universe. In the sacred texts of the Russian Religion, it is said that Ur in its evolution reached higher form- a person. Man is Ur, that is, in form and content, man is the entire known and unknown Universe. Man is the whole immortal Universe and he is outside of time and space, he is infinite and eternal. Ur and Man are Light, One and Eternal. And as it is written in the Kiev Rig Veda: “We left the Light and into the Light we will leave ...” This means that the ancient Rus believed that man would continue his evolution and a “radiant humanity” would arise, where man would finally develop into the God-man Ur and in form will represent a thinking intelligent matter in the form of an immortal radiant Light, capable of creating any form.

I have to stop at. Old Russian interpretation of the word "Ur" by what was briefly reported above. I will add that in antiquity (and in the East to this day, which not everyone knows) our self-name was "Uruses" or often even simpler "Ury". Hence the words: "culture" (the cult of Ur); “Ancestors” (great-ury); Ural (Ural); Uristan (camp of Ur) and thousands of other words in almost all languages ​​of the world. The most ancient symbols of Ur have survived to this day: the battle cry of Russian soldiers "Hurray!" and a rotating fiery swastika, elements of which are depicted in the surviving temples of Sophia - the Sacred Old Russian Wisdom (in Kiev, Novgorod, Baghdad, Jerusalem and thousands of other Russian cities on all continents of the world).

The word “Ki” in Old Russian means “land = territory”, therefore the name of ancient Kiev - “Ur-Ki” in modern Russian means “Divine Land of the First Ancestors”. Thus, the origin of the modern word "Kiev" is not at all from the legendary Prince Kyi, as the enemies of the Russian people are deceiving, and therefore up to the Middle Ages (when there was a correspondence of the entire world history, falsified in favor of our enemies, with the destruction of everything Old Russian and the fabrication of false ancient "books "," Monuments ", etc.) in all ancient books in all languages ​​Kiev was most often called" Mother City ". The expressions "Earth-Mother" and "Kiev-Mother" have survived to this day, contrary to the wishes of our enemies. And the expression: "Kiev is the Mother of Russian cities!" any schoolboy in the world knows. I draw your attention to "Mother of Russian cities!" And then the enemies of the Russian people so falsified historical science that even those of them who consider themselves "historians" write books about the mysterious "ancestral home of the Aryans", the mysterious "Indo-European civilization", "Northern Hyperborea", the incomprehensible "Trypillian culture", is unknown where did "Great Mongolia" come from ( Great Tartary= Great Mogolia = Great Russia, etc.) and in all these "scientific works" there is no Kiev, which means there is no MOTHER and there is no GOD.

As a result of Russian military campaigns in Europe, China, India, Mesopotamia, Palestine, Egypt, etc., there was a significant influence of our ancient culture to these peoples. In the art of many peoples, the ancient Russian “ animal style"," Cosmogonic cross "," magic swastika ", the image of the" secret wheel of history ", the heads of horses in the" whirlwind cosmic movement "; the image of the sword; the image of a rider piercing the dragon with a spear, where the dragon symbolizes world evil; the image of the "Mother Goddess", where Agni was meant - "the goddess of the Fiery Cosmos"; the image of a deer, symbolizing the spiritualized beauty of nature, etc. It is not for nothing that modern scientists-archaeologists find the image of the Russian deer-Rusyn and Russian iron swords all over the world - from The Pacific to the Atlantic and from Egypt and India to the Arctic.

Since ancient times, swastika symbolism has been the main and dominant one among almost all peoples on the territory of Eurasia: Slavs, Germans, Mari, Pomors, Skalvians, Curonians, Scythians, Sarmatians, Mordovians, Udmurts, Bashkirs, Chuvashes, Indians, Icelanders, Scots and many others.

In many ancient Beliefs and religions, the Swastika is the most important and lightest cult symbol. So, in ancient Indian philosophy and Buddhism, the Swastika is a symbol of the eternal circulation of the universe, a symbol of the Buddha Law, to which everything is subject. (Dictionary "Buddhism", M., "Republic", 1992); in Tibetan Lamaism - a protective symbol, a symbol of happiness and a talisman.
In India and Tibet, the Swastika is depicted everywhere: on the walls and gates of temples, on residential buildings, as well as on fabrics in which all sacred texts and tablets are wrapped. Very often, the sacred texts from the Book of the Dead are framed with swastika ornaments, which are written on the funeral covers, before croodying (cremation).

Swastika, which is the oldest figurative meaning it carries in itself what it meant for many millennia and now means for the Slavs and Aryans and the multitude of peoples inhabiting our Earth. In these media, alien to the Slavs, the Swastika is called either a German cross or a fascist sign and its image and meaning are relegated only to Adolf Hitler, Germany in 1933-45, to fascism (National Socialism) and the Second World War. Modern "journalists", "is-Toriks" and guardians of "universal human values" seem to have forgotten that the Swastika is the most ancient Russian symbol, that in past times, representatives of the highest authorities, in order to enlist the support of the people, always made the Swastika a state symbol and put its image on money ...

Now, few people know that the matrices of the 250-ruble banknote, with the image of the Swastika symbol - Kolovrat against the background of a two-headed eagle, were made according to a special order and sketches of the last Russian Tsar Nicholas II. The Provisional Government used these matrices to issue banknotes in denominations of 250, and then 1000 rubles. Beginning in 1918, the Bolsheviks put into circulation new banknotes in denominations of 5,000 and 10,000 rubles, which depict three Kolovrat Swastikas: two smaller Kolovrat in lateral ties are intertwined with large numbers 5,000, 10,000, and a large Kolovrat is placed in the middle. But, unlike the 1000 rubles of the Provisional Government, which depicted the State Duma on the reverse side, the Bolsheviks placed a two-headed eagle on the banknotes. Money with the Swastika-Kolovrat was printed by the Bolsheviks and was in use until 1923, and only after the appearance of banknotes of the USSR, they were withdrawn from circulation.

Authorities Soviet Russia In order to get support in Siberia, in 1918, they created sleeve patches for the soldiers of the Red Army of the South-Eastern Front, they depicted the Swastika with the abbreviation RSF.S.R. inside. But they did the same: the Russian Government of A. V. Kolchak, calling under the banner of the Siberian Volunteer Corps; Russian émigrés in Harbin and Paris, and then the National Socialists in Germany.

The party symbols and the NSDAP (National Socialist German Workers' Party) flag, created in 1921 based on sketches by Adolf Hitler, later became state symbols Germany (1933-1945). In Mein Kampf, Hitler describes in detail how this symbol was chosen. He personally determined the final form of the swastika and developed a version of the banner that became the model for all subsequent party flags. Hitler believed that a new flag should be as effective as a political poster. The Fuehrer also writes about the colors for the party flag, which were considered, but were rejected. White "was not a color that captivates the masses", but was most suitable for "virtuous spinsters and for all kinds of lean unions." Black was also rejected as it was far from attracting attention. The combination of blue and white flowers excluded because they were the official colors of Bavaria. The black and white combination was also unacceptable. A black-red-gold banner was out of the question, since it was used by the Weimar Republic. Black, white and red in their old combination were inappropriate due to the fact that they "represented the old Reich, perished as a result of its own weaknesses and mistakes." Nevertheless, Hitler chose these three colors, as they, in his opinion, were better than all the others (“this is the most powerful color accord that is possible at all”). Not any swastika fits the definition of "Nazi" symbolism, but only a four-pointed one, standing on an edge at 45 °, with the ends directed to the right side. It was this sign that was on the state banner of National Socialist Germany from 1933 to 1945, as well as on the emblems of civil and military services. Few people now know that in Germany the National Socialists did not use the Swastika, but a symbol similar to it in outline - Hakenkreuz, which has a completely different figurative meaning - a change in the world around and a person's worldview.

By the way, in the minds of the soldiers who saw the crosses on the Wehrmacht tanks during World War II, it was these Wehrmacht crosses that were fascist crosses and Nazi symbols.

Over the course of many millennia, various designs of swastika symbols have had a powerful influence on the way of life of people, on their psyche (Soul) and subconsciousness, uniting representatives of different tribes for some bright purpose; gave a powerful surge of light divine forces, revealing internal reserves in people for all-round creation for the good of their Clans, in the name of justice, prosperity and well-being of their Fatherland.

At first, only priests of various clan cults, creeds and religions used this, then representatives of the highest state power- princes, kings, etc., and after them all sorts of occultists and political figures turned to the Swastika.

After the Bolsheviks completely seized all levels of power, the need for the support of the Soviet regime by the Russian people disappeared, because it is easier to withdraw the values ​​created by the same Russian people. Therefore, in 1923, the Bolsheviks abandoned the Swastika, leaving only the five-pointed star, the Hammer and Sickle, as state symbols.

In February 1925, the Kuna Indians expelled the Panamanian gendarmes from their territory, announcing the creation of the independent Republic of Tula, on whose banner it was. "Tula" translates as "people", the self-name of the tribe, and the swastika is their ancient symbol. In 1942, the flag was slightly changed so as not to evoke associations with Germany: a “nose ring” was put on the swastika, “because everyone knows that Germans do not wear nose rings”. Subsequently, the Kuna-Tula swastika returned to its original version and is still a symbol of the republic's independence.

Until 1933 (the year the Nazis came to power), the writer Rudyard Kipling used the swastika as his personal coat of arms. For him, she embodied Strength, Beauty, Originality and Illumination. Thanks to Paul Klee, the swastika became the emblem of the avant-garde art-architectural association "Bauhaus".

In 1995, there was an incident in Glendale, California, when a small group of anti-fascist fanatics tried to force the city authorities to replace 930 (!) Lamp posts installed between 1924 and 1926. The reason: the cast-iron pedestals are surrounded by an ornament of 17 swastikas. The local Historical Society had to prove, with documents in hand, that the pillars purchased at one time from the Union Metal Company of Canton (Ohio) had nothing to do with the Nazis, and therefore in no way could offend anyone's feelings. The swastika design was based on both classical art and on the local traditions of the Navajo Indians, for whom the swastika has long served as an auspicious sign. In addition to Glendale, similar poles were erected elsewhere in the county in the 1920s.
The main symbol of fascism is undoubtedly the fasias (from the Latin fascis, bunch), which Benito Mussolini borrowed from Ancient rome... The fascia consisted of rods tied with a leather belt, with a lictor's hatchet embedded inside. Such bunches of lictors (servants under the higher magistrates and some priests) were carried in front of the one accompanied by them state person... The rods symbolized the right to punishment, the ax of execution. Inside Rome, the ax was removed, since here the people were the supreme authority for death sentences. When Mussolini founded his Italian Nationalist Movement in March 1919, his banner was the tricolor with the lictor hatchet, symbolizing the unity of the war veterans. The organization was named "Fache di Combatimento" and served as the basis for the creation in 1922 of the fascist party. It should be remembered that fasces are a common decorative element of the classicism style, in which many buildings are built. XVIII beginning XIX centuries. (including in St. Petersburg and Moscow), therefore their use in the context of this style is not "fascist". In addition, the fascia with hatchets and a Phrygian cap became a symbol of the Great French revolution 1789.
The number of Nazi symbols can include specific emblems of the SS, Gestapo and other organizations operating under the auspices of the Third Reich. But the elements that make up these emblems (runes, oak leaves, wreaths, etc.) should not be prohibited by themselves.

A sad case of "swastikophobia" is the regular (since 1995) felling of larch trees in the public sector of the forest near Zernikov (60 miles north of Berlin). Planted in 1938 by a local entrepreneur, larch trees formed a yellow pine swastika every fall in the midst of evergreen pines. The swastika of 57 larch trees with an area of ​​360 m ^ 2 could only be seen from the air. After the reunification of Germany, the question of logging arose in 1992, and the first trees were destroyed in 1995. According to the Associated Press and Reuters, 25 out of 57 larches had been felled by 2000, but authorities and the public are concerned that the symbol can still be seen. This is indeed a serious matter: young shoots are crawling from the remaining roots. Pity here is caused, first of all, by people whose hatred has reached the verge of psychosis.

Sanskrit exclamation "swasti!" translates, in particular, as "good!" to this day it sounds in the rituals of Hinduism, framing the pronunciation of the sacred syllable AUM ("AUM Tackle!"). Analyzing the word "swastika", Gustave Dumoutier decomposed it into three syllables: su-auti-ka. ou is the root meaning "good", "good", superlative degree or suridas, "prosperity". Auti is the present tense of the third person singular from the verb as "to be" (Latin sum). Ka is a substantive suffix.
The Sanskrit name suastika, wrote Max Müller to Heinrich Schliemann, approximates the Greek "perhaps," "may," "allowed." There is an Anglo-Saxon name for the Fylfot swastika sign, which R.F. Greg derived from fower fot, four-footed, i.e. "Four" or "many-legged". The word Fylfot itself is of Scandinavian origin and consists of the Old Norse fiel, the equivalent of the Anglo-Saxon fela, German viel ("many") and fotr, foot ("leg"), i.e. "Multi-legged" figure. However, in scientific literature and Fylfot, and the above-mentioned "tetraskelis" with a gamma cross, and mistakenly identified with the swastika "hammer of Thor" (Mjollnir) were gradually replaced by the Sanskrit name.

According to M. Müller, the right-sided gamma cross (suastika) is a sign of light, life, holiness and well-being, which corresponds in nature to the spring, arriving sun. The left-hand sign, suavastika, on the other hand, expresses darkness, doom, evil and destruction; it corresponds to a waning, autumn luminary. We find a similar line of reasoning in the Indologist Charles Birdwood. Suastika - daytime sun, active state, day, summer, light, life and glory; this set of concepts is expressed in Sanskrit pradakshina, manifests itself through the masculine principle, patronized by the god Ganesha. Suavastika is also the sun, but underground or nocturnal, passive state, winter, darkness, death and obscurity; it corresponds to the Sanskrit prasavya, the feminine principle and the goddess Kali. In the annual solar cycle the left-hand swastika is a symbol of the summer solstice, from which the daylight begins to wane, and the right-hand swastika, from which the day gains strength. The main traditions of mankind (Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, etc.) contain both right- and left-sided swastikas, which are assessed not on the "good-evil" scale, but as two sides of a single process. Thus, “destruction” is not “evil” in the dualistic sense for Eastern metaphysics, but only the reverse side of creation, and so on.

In ancient times, when our Ancestors used the ‘Aryan Runes, the word Swastika was translated as Coming from Heaven. Since Runa - SVA meant Heaven (hence Svarog - Heavenly god), - С - Rune of direction; Runes - TIKA - movement, coming, current, running. Our children and grandchildren still pronounce the word tick, i.e. run away. In addition, the figurative form - TIKA is still found in everyday words Arctic, Antarctica, mysticism, homiletics, politics, etc.

I am closer to the traditional version of the Aryan decoding of the word.

Su asti ka: su asti is a greeting, a wish for good luck, prosperity, ka is a prefix denoting a particularly sincere attitude.

The meaning of the swastika

Today the swastika - symbol, which everyone associates only with evil and war. The swastika is falsely credited with a connection with fascism. This symbol has nothing to do with fascism, war, or Hitler, and this is a delusion of many people!

The origin of the swastika

The swastika symbol is tens of thousands of years old. Initially swastika meant our galaxy, because if you look at the rotation of the galaxy, you can see a connection with the "swastika" sign. This association served as the beginning for the further use of the swastika sign. The Slavs used the swastika as amulets, decorated houses and temples with this sign, applied it as an ornament on clothes and weapons. For them, this sign was a symbolic image of the sun. And for our ancestors, he represented all the brightest and purest in the world. And not only for the Slavs, for many cultures it meant peace, goodness and faith. So how did it happen that such good sign, carrying a thousand-year history, suddenly became the personification of everything bad and terrible in the world?

In the Middle Ages, the symbol was forgotten, and only occasionally surfaced in patterns.
It was only in the 1920s that the swastika "saw" the world again. Then the swastika began to be depicted on the helmets of militants, and the very next year it was officially recognized as the coat of arms of the fascist party. And later, Hitler performed under the banners with the image of the swastika.

What is a swastika

But here you need to clarify and dot all the i. The swastika is a two-digit symbol, because can be depicted as curved clockwise ends and against. And both of these images carry a completely opposite semantic load, balancing each other. Swastika, the rays of which are directed to the left (i.e. counterclockwise) denotes the rising sun, goodness and light. The swastika, which is depicted clockwise, carries the opposite meaning and means evil, misfortune and misfortune. Now let's remember which swastika was Hitler's emblem. It is the last one. And this swastika has nothing to do with the ancient symbols of goodness and light.

Therefore, there is no need to confuse these two symbols. Even now, the swastika can serve as a talisman for you, if you draw it correctly. And people who round their eyes with fright at the sight of this symbol need to make an excursion into history and tell about ancient symbol our ancestors, who made the world kinder and brighter.

Slavic swastika, its significance for us should be the subject of special attention. It is possible to confuse the fascist and Slavic swastika only with complete ignorance of history and culture. A thoughtful and attentive person knows that the swastika is not originally a "brand" of Germany during the times of fascism. Today, not all people remember the true history of this sign. And all this thanks to the great world tragedy Patriotic War that thundered across the Earth under the standard of a subordinate swastika (enclosed in an indissoluble circle). We need to figure out what this symbol of the swastika was in Slavic culture, why it is still revered, and how today we can apply it in practice. Remember that the Nazi swastika is prohibited in Russia.

Archaeological excavations on site modern Russia and in neighboring countries, they confirm that the swastika is a much more ancient symbol than the emergence of fascism. So, there are finds with images of the solar symbol, dating back 10,000-15,000 years before the onset of our era. Slavic culture is replete with numerous facts, confirmed precisely by archaeologists, that the swastika was used by our people everywhere.

The Slavs still retained the memory of this sign, because embroidery schemes are still being transmitted, as well as ready-made towels, or homespun belts and other products. In the photo - belts of the Slavs different regions and dating.

Having picked up old photographs, drawings, you can make sure that the Russians also used the swastika symbol on a massive scale. For example, the image of swastikas in a laurel wreath on money, weapons, banners, sleeve chevrons of Red Army soldiers (1917-1923). The honor of the uniform and the solar symbol in the center of the symbolism were one.

But even today one can find both a direct and a stylized swastika in the architecture preserved in Russia. For example, let's take only one city of St. Petersburg. Take a closer look at the mosaics on the floor of St. Isaac's Cathedral in St. Petersburg or the Hermitage, forged vignettes, molding on buildings along many streets and embankments of this city.

Slavic swastika - meaning and meaning

The Slavic swastika is an equilateral cross, the ends of which are equally bent in one direction (sometimes according to the movement of the clock hands, sometimes against). At the bend, the ends on the four sides of the figure form a right angle (straight swastika), and sometimes sharp or obtuse (oblique swastika). They depicted a symbol with pointed and rounded bends at the ends.

These symbols may mistakenly include a double, triple ("triskelion" with three rays, the symbol of Zervan - the god of space and time, fate and time among the Iranians), eight-pointed ("Kolovrat" or "brace") figure. It is wrong to call these variations swastikas. Our ancestors, the Slavs, perceived each symbol, albeit something similar to another, as a force that had its own separate purpose and function in Nature.

Our native ancestors gave the meaning to the swastika as follows - the movement of forces and bodies in a spiral. If this is the sun, then the sign showed vortex currents in the heavenly body. If this is a Galaxy, the Universe, then the movement of celestial bodies in a spiral within a system around a certain center was understood. The center is, as a rule, the "self-glowing" light ( White light having no source).

Slavic swastika in other traditions and peoples

Our ancestors of Slavic clans in ancient times, along with other peoples, revered swastika symbols not only as amulets, but also as signs that have sacred meaning... They helped people get in touch with the gods. So, in Georgia they still believe that the roundness of the corners in the swastika means nothing more than the infinity of movement in the entire Universe.

The Indian swastika is now inscribed not only on the temples of various Aryan gods, but is also used as a protective symbolism in household use... They draw this sign in front of the entrance to the dwelling, draw on dishes, use it in embroidery. Modern Indian fabrics are still produced with designs of rounded swastika symbols, similar to a blossoming flower.

Near India, in Tibet, Buddhists are no less respectful of the swastika, drawing it on Buddha statues. In this tradition, the swastika means that the cycle in the universe is endless. In many respects, on the basis of this, even the whole law of Buddha is complex, as recorded in the dictionary "Buddhism", Moscow, ed. "Respublika", 1992 Even during the time of tsarist Russia, the emperor met with Buddhist lamas, finding much in common in the wisdom and philosophy of the two cultures. Today, lamas use the swastika as a protective sign that protects against evil spirits and demons.

The Slavic swastika and the fascist one are distinguished by the fact that the first is not included in a square, circle or any other contour, while on Nazi flags we observe that the figure is most often located in the center of a white circle-disk located on a red field. The Slavs never had the desire or purpose to place the sign of any God, Lord or power in a confined space.

We are talking about the so-called "submission" of the swastika so that it "works" for those who use it at their own discretion. There is an opinion that after A. Hitler drew attention to this symbol, a special witchcraft ceremony was performed. The motive of the ceremony was as follows - to begin to control with the help heavenly forces the whole world, having subjugated all peoples. As far as this is true, the sources are silent, but many generations of people were able to see what can be done with the symbol and how to blacken it and use it to their advantage.

Swastika in Slavic culture - where it is applied

Swastika Slavic peoples occurs in different characters that have their own names. In total, there are 144 species of such names today. Among them, the following variations are popular: Kolovrat, Charovrat, Posolon, Inglia, Agni, Svaor, Ognevik, Suasti, Yarovrat, Svarga, Rasich, Svyatoch and others.

In the Christian tradition, swastikas are still used, depicting various saints on Orthodox icons. An attentive person will see such signs on mosaics, paintings, icons, or the attire of a priest.

Small swastikas and double swastikas depicted on the robe of Christ Pantocrator Almighty - a Christian fresco Sophia Cathedral The Novgorod Kremlin.

Today, Swastika symbols are used by those Slavs who continue to honor the horses of their ancestors and remember their Native Gods. So, to celebrate the day of Perun the Thunderer, there are round dances around the swastika signs laid out on the ground (or inscribed) - "Fash" or "Agni". There are also many famous dance Kolovrat. The magical meaning of the sign has been passed down from generation to generation. Therefore, understanding Slavs today can freely wear amulets with swastika signs, use them as talismans.

The swastika in Slavic culture in different places of Russia was perceived differently. For example, on the Pechora River, residents called this sign "hare", perceiving it as a sunbeam, a ray of sunlight. But in Ryazan - "feather grass", seeing in the sign the embodiment of the element of wind. But the people also felt the fiery power in the sign. So, there are names “ sunny wind"," Frankincense "," mushroom "(Nizhny Novgorod region).

The concept of "swastika" was transformed into a semantic meaning - "that came from Heaven." It contains: "Sva" - Heaven, Svarga Heavenly, Svarog, rune "s" - direction, "tika" - run, movement, the arrival of something. Understanding the origin of the word "Suasti" ("Svasti") helps to determine the strength of the sign. "Su" - good or beautiful, "asti" - to be, to be. In general, the meaning of the swastika can be summarized - "Be kind!".

The swastika is the oldest and most widespread graphic sign in the world. The cross with the ends facing down adorned the facades of houses, coats of arms, weapons, jewelry, money and household items. The first mention of the swastika dates back to the eighth millennium BC.

This sign has a lot of meanings. Ancient peoples considered him a symbol of happiness, love, sun and life. Everything changed in the 20th century when the swastika became a symbol of Hitler's rule and Nazism. Since then, people have forgotten about primitive meaning, but they only know what Hitler's swastika means.

Swastika as an emblem of the fascist and Nazi movement

Even before the Nazis entered the political arena in Germany, paramilitary organizations used the swastika as a symbol of nationalism. This badge was mainly worn by the soldiers of G. Erhardt's detachment.

Hitler, as he himself wrote in a book called My Struggle, claimed to have laid in the swastika a symbol of the superiority of the Aryan race. Already in 1923, at the Nazi congress, Hitler convinced his fellows that a black swastika on a white and red background symbolizes the struggle against Jews and communists. Everyone began to gradually forget its true meaning, and since 1933 people associated the swastika exclusively with Nazism.

It should be borne in mind that not every swastika is the personification of Nazism. The lines should intersect at a 90 degree angle and the edges should be folded to the right. The cross must be placed against the background of a white circle surrounded by a red background.

After the end of World War II, in 1946, the Nuremberg Tribunal made spreading the swastika a criminal offense. The swastika has become banned, this is indicated in paragraph 86a of the German Penal Code.

As for the attitude of the Russians to the swastika, Roskomnadzor canceled the punishment for spreading it without propaganda purposes only on April 15, 2015. Now you know what Hitler's swastika means.

Various scholars have hypothesized that the swastika stands for flowing water, female sex, fire, air, moon, and god worship. Also, this sign acted as a symbol of fertile land.

Left-handed or right-handed swastika?

Some scientists believe that it makes no difference in which direction the bends of the cross are directed, but there are also specialists who have a different point of view. You can determine the direction of the swastika both at the edges and at the corners. And if two crosses are drawn side by side, the ends of which are directed in different directions, it can be argued that this "set" personifies a man and a woman.

If we talk about Slavic culture, then one swastika means movement in the sun, and the other against it. In the first case, happiness is meant, in the other, unhappiness.

On the territory of Russia, the swastika has been repeatedly found in various designs (three, four and eight beams). It is assumed that this symbolism belongs to the Indo-Iranian tribes. A similar swastika was also found on the territory of such modern countries like Dagestan, Georgia, Chechnya ... In Chechnya, the swastika flaunts on many historical monuments, at the entrance to the crypts. There she was considered a symbol of the Sun.

It is also interesting that the swastika that we are used to seeing was a favorite symbol of Empress Catherine. She painted him wherever she lived.

When the revolution began, the swastika became popular among artists, but the People's Commissar quickly expelled it, since this symbolism had already become a symbol of the fascist movement, which had just begun to exist.

The difference between fascist and Slavic swastika

The most significant difference between the Slavic swastika and the German one is the direction of its rotation. For the Nazis, it goes clockwise, and for the Slavs, it goes against it. In fact, these are far from all the differences.

The Aryan swastika differs from the Slavic one in the thickness of the lines and the background. The number of ends of a Slavic cross can be four or eight.

The exact time of the appearance of the Slavic swastika is very difficult to name, but for the first time it was discovered at the sites of the settlement of the ancient Scythians. The marks on the walls date back to the fourth millennium BC. The swastika had a different design, but similar outlines. In most cases, it meant the following:

1. Worship of the gods.
2. Self-development.
3. Unity.
4. Home comfort.
5. Wisdom.
6. Fire.

From this we can conclude that slavic swastika denoted highly spiritual, noble and positive things.

The German swastika appeared in the early 1920s. It means completely opposite things, in comparison with the Slavic one. The German swastika, according to one theory, marks the purity of Aryan blood, because Hitler himself said that this symbolism is dedicated to the victory of the Aryans over all other races.

The fascist swastika adorned the captured buildings, uniforms and belt buckles, the flag of the Third Reich.

Summing up, we can conclude that fascist swastika made people forget that it also has a positive interpretation. All over the world, it is associated precisely with the Nazis, but not with the sun, ancient gods and wisdom ... Museums that have ancient tools, vases and other antiquities decorated with a swastika in their collections are forced to remove them from exhibitions, because people do not understand that the meaning of this symbol. And this, in fact, is very sad ... Nobody even remembers that once the swastika was a symbol of humane, light and beautiful. Unknowing people who hear the word "swastika" immediately pop up the image of Hitler, pictures of war and terrible concentration camps. Now you know what the sign of Hitler means in ancient symbolism.
