The swastika means you well.

The swastika means you well. Swastika or Lucky Charm. In Sanskrit: su "well" asti "being" ka "making". The oldest found has been dated as early as 10,000 BC. In 1920 it was adopted by the Nazi party to symbolize the Aryan race, stigmatizing the sign as associated with antisemitism, hatred, death and murder. In India, painted next to a door, it's still an auspicious sign and an invitation to the gods. Jaisalmer, India, 2014.
