1. General Knowledge
What is the original Hindi meaning of the Swastika symbol?
In Hinduism, the two symbols represent the two forms of the creator god Brahma: facing right it represents the evolution of the universe (Pravritti), facing left it represents the involution of the universe (Nivritti).
It is also seen as pointing in all four directions (north, east, south and west) and thus signifies stability and groundedness. Its use as a sun symbol can first be seen in its representation of the god Surya.
The swastika is considered extremely holy and auspicious by all Hindus, and is regularly used to decorate items related to Hindu culture. It is used in all Hindu yantras and religious designs. Throughout the subcontinent of India, it can be seen on the sides of temples, religious scriptures, gift items, and letterheads. The Hindu god Ganesh is often shown sitting on a lotus flower on a bed of swastikas.

1. General Knowledge
What is the original Hindi meaning of the Swastika symbol?
Most of what I was after, but there is further meaning... The etymology of the word swastika connects the Sanskrit su (good) and asti (to be), resulting in "well-being." The symbol is drawn to denote good luck. The swastika is as sacred as the symbol for Om, which is Hinduism’s supreme and most sacred syllable.
The swastika is said to symbolize the Hindu concept of samsara--the eternal cycle of birth, suffering, death and rebirth.
