• There are two primary symbols associated
with Hinduism, the om and the swastika.
The word swastika means "good fortune" or
"being happy" in Sanskrit, and the symbol
represents good luck. (A diagonal version of
the swastika later became associated with
Germany’s Nazi Party when they made it
their symbol in 1920.)
The om symbol is composed of
three Sanskrit letters and
represents three sounds (a, u and
m), which when combined are
considered a sacred sound. The
om symbol is often found at
family shrines and in Hindu
temples.
A swastika symbol
featured on a tile at Hindu
temple on Diu Island,
India. The symbol is one
of good luck and good
fortune.
