Indus Valley Swastik Seals

Max Muller misled the whole world saying that Germans are Aryans and he was also a proud Aryan, being a German. He wrote it in an excited mood and his original words are in my blog. Hitler got that point and put the Hindu symbol Swastika in his flag and declared himself a proud Aryan. Because he massacred Jews, Swatika emblem is hated by the Anti Hitler gangs around the world. Recently Germany spent lot of money to demolish and reconstruct a building because it looked like Swstika design. But Hindus never bothered about their approach to Swastika emblem. We have found Swastika seals in Indus- Sarasvati River Civilization and  in all the Hindu scriptures. Even today we use it in the wedding invitations, Festival invitations etc. Historians have found Swastika used through out ancient cultures whether it is Greek or Etruscan.

Not many people knew that it is part of four months celebration of Hindu women.

Swastika Vrata

On every evening during the four months of the rainy season women draw a Swastika and worship. At the close of the period , they present a Brahmin with a gold or silver plate, on which the same symbol appears. Swastika symbol is an ancient symbol of good luck. They print it in wedding invitations and draw it on the shop walls.

Four month refers to Chaturmasya Vrata; during those four months ascetics of all religions of India never move from one town to another because of monsoon rains.

Since it is found all over Europe, scholars believe that it is a symbol of sun.

The right hand Swastika is that almost always used. Swasti +ka means ‘May it be well’.

On Varalakshmi Vrata day, a Swastika is drawn on the floor and then two pounds of wheat flour on the symbol so drawn, and on it should be placed a kalash or lota filled with rice, says the book (Page 53 of Hindu Holidays and Ceremonials by Rai Bahadur B A Gupte, 1919). This book explains more Swastika drawings during Vata Savitri Vrata and Gauri Puja. The symbol is called Fyl-fot cross in the book.

Secret Swastika from Google Earth

Secret Swastika


Google Earth

When builders of the Coronado Naval Amphibious Base in San Diego planned this complex in 1967, satellite imagery was probably the furthest thing from their minds. But in 2007, Google Earth sleuths found that four unconnected buildings on the base formed an unfortunate shape when viewed from above: a swastika. The Navy says it’s spending more than $600,000 to mask the shape. “We don’t want to be associated with something as symbolic and hateful as a swastika,” a spokesman said.

Richman’s Puja – Golden Elephant

Itu Puja

It is observed from Kartika Full moon day to Margasirsha Full moon day. But in Bihar the whole of Kartika month is the Puja period.

The word Itu is derived from Mitra-  the sun. this Puja is performed every Sunday for a month by women in Bengal. Libations of water is offered in small pots to the sun and afterwards they are immersed in a river or tank.

An old legend tells the usual tale of a family in want and trouble restored to prosperity and happiness through the performance of this sun worship by a daughter.

Every Sunday in the Hindu month of Sravana, the sun is worshipped.

Gajagauri Vrata

This is a rich man’s puja. The entry of the sun into Hasta (or Gaja) Nakshatra is also important for Sun worshippers. This occurs about the month Asvina, at the close of the rainy season. It can only be observed properly by the rich, as the correct ceremony includes the gift of a golden elephant, on which are seated golden figures of Siva, Gauri, his wife, Ganesa their son; also a golden image of Gauri on an elephant should be worshipped. Golden gift is given to a brahmin priest.

German Stamps

These festivals are part of Sun Worship in ancient India. New Year celebration Gudi Padawa, Makara Sankranti (in Tamil Nadu this Hindu festival is called Pongal) are also Sun Worshipping festivals.
