Swasti is a benediction or blessing seeking the well-being of people and places. It is a declaration of faith in God and the soul. It is a standard, spiritual expression, used in social interactions and religious congregations to express one’s good intentions.
This benediction/blessing is also expressed through its visual symbol, the swastika. The right-armed swastika (right-facing swastika symbol) has symbolized divinity and spirituality for millennia. But it has held diverse meanings, and has had a checkered reputation following its co-option by the Nazis so it now arouses negative sentiment in the West compared to the traditionally positive sentiment across Asia.
