Isang caricature ni Adolf Hitler at ang Swastika
(na ginawang mga kamay at paa niya),
tampok sa taklob-pahina ng Vanity Fair
(November 1932, mula sa Morelos Collection).

Larawang Tribiya

          Ang Swastika ay ginawang sagisag ni Adolf Hitler at ng Nazi Germany, subalit alam niyo ba ang kahulugan ng bagay na ito? Ang salitang “swastika” ay halaw sa wikang Sanskrit, mula sa su o sva, na ang ibig sabihin ay “mabuti,” at asti(ka), na nagsasaad ng panukalang “upang maging.” Kaya ang isang pakahulugan dito ay “upang maging mabuti.” May isa pang pakahulugan, isang panalangin upang maitaas ang esensya ng sarili sa higit na mataas na antas.

          Ang pinakamatandang bagay kung saan natagpuan ang sagisag na ito ay sa isang pigurin na yari sa ivory ng mammoth (hayop na ninuno ng mga elepante) na tinatayang mula pa sa panahong paleolithic (10,000 B.C.). Bahagi naman ito ng relihiyon at kultura ng mga Hindu mula pa noong 2500 B.C.

          May Chinese character na ang pagkakasulat ay katulad ng hitsura ng swastika. Ang ibig sabihin nito ayon sa Kangxi Dictionary (1716) ay “hindi mabilang na dami,” na sa pakahulugan naman ng mga Buddhist ay “walang hanggan.”

          Sa matematika, sa geometry, ang hugis ng swastika ay isang icosagon o polygon na may 20 gilid (o side) at 20 siha (o angle).

          Ang swastika ang ginamit ng Nationalist Socialist German Workers (Nazi) Party at ni Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) bilang sagisag ng lahing Aryan at ginawang pigura ng kanilang watawat.
