The Suastika is derived from the ancient phonetic script Su (sanskrit su- good)to mean- 'step out' or 'Good' + ASTI , the finite existence-to be.
In Hinduism, the (clockwork motion) swastika represents the microcosmic creation of the spiral galaxy in progressive expansion and motion as symbolic representation of our cosmic universe seen on the right hand forefinger of Lord Vishu as 'Vishnu Chakra'. It is also seen on the right palm of the elephant god Ganesha, evoked and worshipped before any auspicious work. It also has its origin in Hopi civilization as the progressive sun in clockwork motion and life, in well being.
In the Indus valley civilization seals, the clockwork motion suastika was used as permit for the merchants to travel out from the city during the day.
The Svuastika/Swastika is derived from the ancient phonetic script 'Ku' to mean 'step in' or 'evil' ,'bad', 'spirit'( Sanskrit Swa- destruction in fire) + ASTI,the finite existence -to be. It is the anti thesis of the 'good' to evoke the dark spirits of 'power and destruction', to evoke the tantric goddesses by sacrifices and death.

In the Indus valley civilization the anticlockwise motion Swastika seal was a permit for merchants to enter the city after sunset.
The extended arms in the two forms : suastika & swastika represent the creator god Brahma: facing right represents the evolution of the universe (Devanagari: प्रवृत्ति, Pravritti), facing left represents the involution of the universe (Devanagari: निवृत्ति, Nivritti). It is also seen as pointing in all four directions (north, east, south and west) and thus signifies stability and groundedness. Its use as a sun symbol can be seen in its representation of the god Surya (Devanagari: सूर्य, Sun).
The swastika is considered extremely holy and auspicious by all Hindus, and is regularly used to decorate items related to Hindu culture, however erroneously used by modern neo pandits & artists as a Hindu tantric yantra (Devanagari: यंत्र) and religious designs, represented throughout the subcontinent of India & abroad by NRI's. It can be seen on the sides of temples, religious scriptures, gift items, and letterheads & wedding cards without the knowledge on the use of the right form of the Suastika in the modern era called 'kalyug' (end time). The Hindu deity Ganesh (Devanagari: गणेश) is often shown sitting on a lotus flower on a bed of swastikas by artists and even modern neo-pandits.
The German swastika is a left-clockwork motion, an anti thesis of the 'good' ,as selected and used by Hitler in the Nazi symbol of 'power & destruction' was understood as "the symbol of the creating, acting life"of a pure breed over humanity by tantric human sacrifice(das Symbol des schaffenden, wirkenden Lebens) and as "race emblem of Germanism" as pure Aryans.
Physically, not much. Hitler took the swastika, rotated it about a quarter turn, and called it good. But symbolically, they are worlds apart. The Hindu swastika, or "sun wheel," is a symbol of blessed good fortune. The German swastika came to symbolize evil in its purest form.
