The symbol of Swastika is a model for the revolution of time and consciousness-moving in any direction-permitting souls to feel the many levels of reality at the same time. It comes from the Sanskrit words su and asti meaning well and to be, respectively. It has not always been used as a representation of Nazism but in fact, was borrowed from Eastern cultures, in religions mainly Hinduism and Buddhism. It was also used in the faiths of Native Americans before World War II.
The rise of the National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP) changed how the people view the cross. It has since then been connected with racism, fascism, the Second World War and the Holocaust. Though before this, it was known in Europe from the archaeological work of Heinrich Schliemann, who came across the symbol in the site of Ancient Troy. The Nazis used this as a symbol for Aryan identity and still remains to be a core symbol of the Neo-Nazi groups.
The NSDAP (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei) adopted the Hakenkreuz (hooked cross) in the 1920's and was used on their badges, armbands and flags. It was written that Hitler used the swastika because it was used by the Thule-Gesellschaft and their many connections in between. Hitler used the library of Dr. Friedrick Krohn, who was an active member of the Thule-Gesellschaft and was named by Hitler in Mein Kampf as the one who designed the flag which was very alike to that one Hitler conceived.
On the 25th of December, 1907, the swastika was used with an Aryan connotation. It was when the self-named Order of the New Templars founded by Adolf Joseph Lanz von Liebenfels, raised at the Werfenstein Castle in Austria a yellow flag with four fleurs-de-lys and the swastika.
