The swastika used by the Nazi party was created by mirror-flipping a traditional symbol used in Hinduism and Buddhism. In Asia you can see this symbol in monasteries, temples and for identifying restaurants with Vegetarian food.

In Hindusim, right faced Swastika symbol holds major significance and comes next to the word OM in terms of importance. The word Swastika is normally believed to be an amalgam of the words Su and Asati. Su means 'good' and Asati meant 'to exist'. As per Sanskrit (the ancient Indian language) grammar the words Su and Asati when amalgamated into one word become Swasti. The suffix -ka forms a diminutive. The literal meaning of the term Swastika means 'let good-prevail'. It is also translated some times to 'little thing associated with well-being', or 'thing that is auspicious'
