Science Behind Swastik

Swastik - word which is a combination of Swa + Aastik

Swa means self sustaining

Aastik means believer of being (aastik se aaste in Marathi Bana, which means it
exists... So Aastik means believer of that which exists)

Swastik means a self sustaining body that exists!

So, actually, Swastik isn't to be drawn... It is always either to be printed, or to be


carved out...

Jainism has a ritual of making a heap of rice, and carving out Swastik out of it..

Arya vanshi has a ritual of carving the cutting out of metal (Preferably iron)

The use of Swastik was also done as Tilak in the medival age...
However, there have been multiple interpretations of the Swastik and its
formations since then..

Take a centre point, draw the lines in all 4 direction, starting from the north, then
