What does swastika represent?

The swastika was a symbol of good fortune or blessing or happiness in many cultures for thousands of years. In his book "Comet" the late Carl Sagan finds in ancient Chinese records a drawing of an unusual comet with four tails that looked like a swastika. He suggests that such an appearance in the sky might have been the cause of the symbol being adopted by so many cultures. In Europe the swastika became an accepted form of the Christian cross. The Nazis adopted it as their symbol simply because it looked mystical and had associations with early German culture. It did not symbolically represent any specific aspect of Nazi ideology or belief.The Swastika has it's roots in the Occult . In Hinduism you'll find a similar symbol.The swastika is an ancient symbol that has been used for over 3,000 years. (That even predates the ancient Egyptian symbol, the Ankh!) Artifacts such as pottery and coins from ancient Troy show that the swastika was a commonly used symbol as far back as 1000 BCE.During the following thousand years, the image of the swastika was used by many cultures around the world, including in China, Japan, India, and southern Europe. By the Middle Ages, the swastika was a well known, if not commonly used, symbol but was called by many different names:China - wanEngland - fylfotGermany - HakenkreuzGreece - tetraskelion and gammadionIndia - swastikaThough it is not known for exactly how long, Native Americans also have long used the symbol of the swastika.The Original MeaningThe word "swastika" comes from the Sanskrit svastika - "su" meaning "good," "asti" meaning "to be," and "ka" as a suffix.Until the Nazis used this symbol, the swastika was used by many cultures throughout the past 3,000 years to represent life, sun, power, strength, and good luck.Swastika is Hakenkreutz Crooked cross

Someone shouted out the word 'swastika' randomly today I was baffled what does it mean has it taken on a new meaning in today's society?

Swastika is the name for the sign of the Nazi's. Many people at my shchool have been also randomly shouting out this word. I myself am not Jewish, but I do find it offensive. People just say it to say it, as far as we know there are no more actual Nazi people. As well as there will not be another act such as the one Hitler pulled. Swastika is also a name meaning "beautiful" in some language. <I don't remember what language, though>. I had a friend named Swastika, who we had to call "Swasty" because of what a "swastika" was. -It also means 'lucky charm'.
