The main focus of this article is the author's view about the abuse of svastika by the Western civilization. Its use is prohibited in Germany and several countries have legislation that may put an innocent person to prison only because of using this symbol. There is a petition to the European Union, as German MP's are calling to ban the svastika across all Europe. The origin of this ancient symbol is not known to most of Europeans.
Ganesh and Skanda are Hindu Gods and Hinduism is one of the oldest documented religions in the world. Images of Ganesh were also found in South America from times of the pre-Columbian era. Some say that one cosmological system could be here that had developed in ancient times all over the world.
The word Ganesh (or Ganesha) means Lord of Hosts. This God is the Lord of good fortune; He is the Remover of obstacles.
Sanatana Dharma
The etymological origin of the word "Hinduism" was developed later and its roots had been brought by conquerors of the then Indian subcontinent. The Slavic pre-Christian god of the sun, Swarog, is tightly associated with svastika (Hindu symbol; but it is found in many cultures including ancient Jews.). In neo-paganist religions, Swarog is often the supreme god-creator and the central part of the (holy) trinity Triglav. A very interesting similarity with Swarog has the word "Swarga", which is a set of nether worlds located on the svastika mountain - Mt. Kailash in Tibet.
Better term for Hinduism is therefore *Sanatana Dharma*. Of this belief, evolutional forms of Hinduism - Buddhism, Jainism...evolved. There are four mainstream religions in India: Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism, and Islam.
Hinduism or Sanatana Dharma is a faith in God that underpins the basic humane principles of brotherhood, kind-heartedness and good life. This religion believes in eternal reincarnation of which you may set yourself free by various practices and come to a higher state of Being called moksha - liberation. Christians have salvation, Hindus moksha, Buddhists nirvana. Hindus believe that God is ONE, but has many forms.
Birth of Ganesh and some history
Ganesha (and Skanda too) is understood to be the first God in that sense that if someone wants to come up to Shiva, he must first get through the Ganesha's doorstep. He is mentioned in the oldest Veda - Rig Veda.
Ganesh was born on the fourth day in the Hindu month Magh and He has many powerful aspects. He is also considered to be the master of astrology. According to the Hindu calendar of religious events, His birthday is celebrated in August/September, and this date is variable similarly like Christian Easter (based on the lunar calendar).
Hinduism consists of three basic (mainstream) branches of which 1) shaivism is the oldest one. Hence, God Shiva is the absolute God; in other Hindu denominations it is Shakti (female principle) - 2) shaktism; or Vishnu and His avatar (incarnation) Krishna - 3) vaishnavism.
The Hindu "Trinity" or TRIMURTI represents three aspects of God: Brahma - the Creator; Vishnu - the Protector; Shiva - the Destroyer. Furthermore, along with shAktam (Shakti), shAivam, vAishnava systems, there are also:
gANApatyam - followers of God Ganesh (they consider Ganapati to be the Absolute God); kaumAram - followers of kaumAram (Ganesha's brother); sAuram - followers of Surya
The fundamental concept of Hinduism is TRIMURTI, which is not at all violated by other concepts such as the QUINTUPLE or SeptUPLET concept where Ganesh has His place. Adi Shankara, a famous Indian teacher (born in the year 686), propagates the Shanmata - "six opinions" tradition: Ganesha, Shiva, Shakti, Vishnu, Surya and Skanda (other name of the Ganesha's brother).
Contrary to homogenous Christianity or Buddhism, Hindu schools/sects are forked rivers. Albeit there are many Christian denominations, they all have CHRIST. Contrary to Hinduism, Buddhism is a clear and relatively very homogenous path to liberation.
In Hinduism, mainstream Vaishnava, Shakta and Shaiva schools are well-documented, but they also have their offshoots. Cults of sUrya, skAnda and gAnApAtyA are poorly documented.
In esoteric Buddhism, Ganesh in Japan is pictured as a Twin-God - two figures joined to one, often with connotation. These statues are not seen publicly. In Japan, there are more than 250 temples dedicated to Lord Ganesh and He has names such as Kanki-Ten, Kangi-Ten, Shooten, Vinayaaka, or Daishoo Kangiten. In Kamakura (a city in Japan), there is a temple (Hookaij-Ji) with allegedly the oldest statue of Ganesh in Japan; it is locked and supposed to have been preserved locked there from the year 1333. The Twin God is nanten - male, nyoten - female Ganesha. It also represents His/Her ego.
Many historians date the presence of Ganesh in Japan back to times when a great monk - Kukai (774- 834) - started the Shingon sect in Japanese Buddhism. The means of worshiping Ganesha, Ganabachi, Vinayaka or Kangiten embody something that makes this cult different from other Buddhist streams. The teaching, rituals and beliefs of the cult have many parallels with the cult of Ganapatyas.
The cult of the Greek god Dionysus, which later transformed to a secret cult of god Bacchus (freedom, inebriation - something similar to a left-handed path, or Vamachara tantra) is considered by some to have the Vedic origin; thus, there is a term such as "Vedic Egypt", too, which is also described by Swami Krishnapada. Western Christian scholars have difficulties to accept the fact that some ancient Egyptians were under the influence of the Vedas and the Vedic Gods.
Symbolism of Ganesh - the first syllable of the universe
In Ganesha Purana it is written: At His command Lord Brahma creates the universe. At His command Lord Visnu maintains the universe. At His command Lord Siva destroys the universe. At His command the Sun, Lord of the day, moves throughout the universe. At His command Vayu directs the wind. At His command Varuna causes the waters to flow in all directions. At His command the stars shine in the sky. At His command Agni burns in the three worlds...
Ganesha is the first sound, OM, in which all hymns were born. When Shakti - (Energy) and Shiva (Matter) meet, Sound (Ganesh) and Light (Skanda) are born. The number FOUR is the principle message of svastika. Ganesha's head symbolizes atman. His big body represents the earthly existence of humankind, but also maya - "illusion of this world". His elephant head indicates that He is the wisest and most powerful Being among animals; His wide ears indicate that He is able to hear anything in the universe...
This God wrote Mahabharata as a scribe when the sage Vyasa dictated this old Indian epos to Him. He has a trident on His forehead, which some authors consider to be a link to Atlantis, as it is also Poseidon's symbol (Greek god of the sea).
Svastika is in His right hand; the mouse at the bottom of His body indicates that He can get secretly anywhere.
Skanda
Skanda, the second son of Shiva, and the younger brother of Ganesha - but some scholars oppose this view and consider Skanda to be older than Ganesha, is also known as Kumara, Karttikeya, Shanmukha, Subrahmanya, and He has many other names. His weapon is a spear and He is considered to be a war God. He has a strong support in South Asia (South of India - Indian state Tamil Nadu, Sri Lanka, Singapore...)
Followers of this God consider Him to be an Avatar of Lord Shiva. All incarnations are manifestations of the One Supreme God. They also think that Lord Skanda and Lord Krishna are one, and as evidence they use this verse from Bhagavadgita (Chapter 10), where Lord Krishna says this to Arjuna: " Senaninam Aharn Skandah ,"- "Of the Generals, I am Skanda."
Sadkona Yantra
Yantra is a symbolic visualization of a deity; yatras often look like a matrix with geometrical lines and when we visualize it in our mind, we clear the path on our way to God (mantra is a sound, usually a holy word, a syllable, or a sequence of such words we repeatedly pronounce, most frequently in Sanskrit.).
Skanda emerged from the light of the six Shiva's sparks, which flashed from the Lord Shiva's Third Eye, and Skanda Yantra is almost identical to the famous hexagram - the "Jewish Star", or the Star of David. The Seal of Solomon also contained the hexagram image - the "yantra" of the Biblical God YHVH (the word "yantra" is not used in Jewish-Christian religions, though).
The Seal of Solomon was a magical signet ring said to have been possessed by King Solomon, which variously gave him the power to command demons, or to do other miraculous things. The God's name - Tetragrammaton ("word with four letters" - YHVH) - was written on it. The identify of the holy depiction of the God Skanda's symbol with the Jewish and Christian God, too - Sadkona Yantra - gives a strong tinge to any argumentation in favor of the fact that humankind has one common history and that the same God spoke to Jews and to other people on this Earth in ancient times.
Abuse of svastika
Not all people do know that Adolf Hitler was a mystical lunatic who used various elements of occultism to set up a bizarre theory about the ancient advent of a "higher race" the origin of which was the far north. In his attempt to initiate a contact with this race, Hitler invested to the research of South America and Tibet a lot of money.
The first element of the Nazi occultism was built upon a reference about a mythical land - Hyperborea-Thule, which is also analogical to Plato's Atlantis, but with one difference - Herodotus described an Egyptian legend about a continent Hyperborea existing somewhere in the far north. Thus, a Thule society (Thule-Gesellschaft) was founded in 1918, and its mainmast stood on the above-mentioned notion that Germans are descendants from this continent.
Thule-Gesellschaft and its occult offshoots used several intriguing aspects in coloring these occult skins - one of them was a belief that our Earth is hollow and that "a race" could live, or once lived, in its bowels, and this race - the "Aryan race"- left some hallmarks here... Thus, Germans as "their" descendants are, as a matter of fact, offshoots of this SUPER RACE; better than Slavs, Indians, Jews...
Svastika is the ancient symbol of prosperity, innocence and good life, but Nazis used this symbol to spread it viciously worldwide contrary to the meaning it (svastika) represents. The "super race" had once used this symbol all over the Earth, for the existence of which the Nazis had "proofs" - "they" left this holy sign in Tibet; "they" marked South America with this symbol.
"Proofs" for the esoteric theory of "Hollow Earth"
Information included herein does not intend to prove or confirm the concept of Hollow Earth Theory, but only to outline how this ancient symbol (svastika) was abused by overconfident white civilization.
Hopi tribe
These Indians say that a "Spider Woman" saved them from the destruction (flood) of the second World. The Spider Woman (a very similar representation of Ganesh, who has a trunk and four hands) led them out of the underground world where they had been kept in protection.
Even today, Hopis have an aperture aground in their dwellings as proof that they came up to this world from the bowels of Earth. The famous "Hopi Prophecy", which captivates minds of many people and scholars, contains the symbol of svastika.
Admiral Byrd and his secret diary
Admiral Byrd was one of the greatest US military explorers born in 1888. He was an excellent voyager, pilot, and air instructor. This man also became famous with his "secret diary", which contains description of exploration flight over the North Pole and here are some excerpts:
They are close enough now to see the markings on them. It is a type of Svastika!!!
1135 Hours - Our radio crackles and a voice comes through in English with what perhaps is a slight Nordic or Germanic accent! The message is: 'Welcome, Admiral, to our domain. We shall land you in exactly seven minutes! Relax, Admiral, you are in good hands.' I note the engines of our plane have stopped running! The aircraft is under some strange control and is now turning itself. The controls are useless.
'We have let you enter here because you are of noble character and well-known on the Surface World, Admiral.' Surface World, I half-gasp under my breath! 'Yes," the Master replies with a smile, 'you are in the domain of the Arianni, the Inner World of the Earth...'
Smoky God
Olaf Jansen, a fisherman from Norway, after going astray in the sea, visited the underground world too. The book entitled "Smoky God", or A Voyage to the Inner World by W. G. Emerson, describes the underworld as a domain inhabited by intelligent beings with very advanced technology: http://www.ourhollowearth.com/SmokyGod.htm
Did Indians prepare some astonishing revelation for us - what shall happen when the Maya calendar ends?
The Mayan calendar does not end, only its cycle, but many people speak of the end. The end of the Maya calendar (cycle) is December 23, 2012. However, there are two correlations; this one comes from Lounsbury. Another one, from Goodman, Martinez-Hernandez and Thompson, suggests that the end is December 21, 2012.
It is very interesting that Mayans calculated dates for such a distant future. The calendar starts in the year 3114 BC - very close to the date of Krishna's disappearance, but also close to the beginning of Kali Yuga - the age of darkness (January 23, 3102 BC). If you try to fish out some correlations between the Hindu and Mayan calendar, a twelve-year difference between the onset of the Mayan calendar and the Krishna's disappearance is really startling.
If the country like Germany with several thousand churches around really lived as Christ had wished, no such a thing as Nazism would have happened. Our European and US culture is Christian only by its name. Christ explicitly commands nonviolence. How can the president of the most powerful nation come out of church and start war a few days later?
Ku Klux Klan uses the symbol of Christian Cross for their misdeeds - shall this be a new topic for banning the Christian Cross across Europe for EU?
