I would argue that the way a symbol is used affects and changes its meaning. Yes, it's historically been used as a symbol of good fortune, balance, and all sorts of other good things. It has ALSO been historically used as a symbol of hatred, fascism, and genocide.

Symbols are not unchangeable things handed down to humanity from a greater power. Symbols are created by humans and hold only the meanings given to them. Given that the swastika has been given both meanings, it holds both meanings.

If you're using it in its original context, with respect to the cultures it came from, and practicing within those cultures, that's fine. But it's ridiculous and closed-minded to call anyone who sees it as a symbol of hate "brainwashed." Your point of view requires you to completely ignore a large and important part of human history, and as dark and evil as that part of history is, it's still important to acknowledge it and its effects.

Furthermore, the use of this symbol by the Nazis is not exclusively the domain of history. It happens in the modern day too. When there are groups actively using this symbol to represent themselves and preaching hate, bigotry, fascism, and genocide under its banner, it's completely irresponsible to ignore that meaning. Modern neo-Nazi groups still use this symbol.

@TransGothGirl Thank you for your insightful answer. What would you say is the esoteric current behind a symbol's energy? A change in the egregore?

The Indian government is unfortunately not an honest source for information on Indian history. I don't know if you have just been innocently misled, or if you are also active partisan in an attempt to recast history to suit a rather lame political agenda.

I started practicing 'Hinduism' after I was granted a certain increased perceptive ability after a vipassana retreat. I can perceive the special energy of indian cattle (which are considered to be worthy of worship) from a pic on the internet, which is what led me back to Hinduism. I can tell the difference between the energies of Islam and Christianity. And also the marked difference between Nordic runes and 'Hindu' symbols. I can also tell that the land of India has a distinct energy to it that makes mantras feel stronger and kundalini energy to rise spontaneously.

Therefore, no, I don't give a fuck what the latest theory of the pink 'scholars' and their brown sepoys is. They used to claim that there was an 'aryan invasion' around 1500 BCE, but that has been debunked. No idea about their latest BS.

If you think the current Indian government has a 'lame political' agenda, consider the downright demonic agenda of the European diaspora, and other groups. Malevolent spiritual forces which influence the Epstein class in power all over the world wish to destroy Hinduism. The easiest way to do so is to convince the Indians that their religion was forcibly introduced to them by foreigners. Their 'scholars' produce propaganda, and the average pink egotist (from my experiences in N.America, at least 50 percent of them are malicious egotists who consider anyone darker as somewhat subhuman), repeats it online, while having no interest in preserving the religion.
