  Sauwastika - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The name sauwastika is a variant of swastika.
The evidence for sauwastika seems sketchy, and there is very little evidence--other than conjecture--to support the notion that the left-facing swastika is regarded as evil in Hindu tradition.
The distinction has acquired significance in some forms of neo-paganism in which it is claimed that the right-facing swastika has a sunwise rotation whereas the left-facing sauwastika has a widdershins rotation.

The right-hand Swastika is considered a solar symbol and imitates in the rotation of its arms the course taken daily by the Sun, which in the Northern Hemisphere appears to pass from east, then south, to west (see pradaksina).
The left-handed Swastika or Sauwastika, on the contrary, is the emblem of the Goddess Kali; it represents the female principle, typifies the course of the Sun in the subterranean world from west to east, and symbolises darkness, death and destruction."
He says: "There are two forms of the Swastika; one represents the wheel of fire revolving to the right, thus the arms bent backward to the left; the other represents the Swastika revolving to the left, and thus the arms bent back to the right.

Traditionally, when the swastika is drawn facing right handed or clockwise as above, it is a good luck symbol.
It is sometimes claimed when it is drawn left facing or anti-clockwise, it is a bad omen and it is labelled a "sauwastika", however there is little evidence of this distinction in Hindu and Buddhist history from which it is supposed to derive.
This symbolism has been modified because of associations with Nazism and current Buddhists will almost always use the left facing swastika.

The nazis kind of ruined the swastika, so mostly the sauwastika is used in buddhism now.
I read somewhere that it was more of a representation of internalization and peace when it flows to the left and more external and one of power when it flows to the right, but that was a few months ago and I can't find the site now.

In their entry for svastika, the right-facing symbol, the Hindus believe this is a sign of auspiciousness, of luck.
In the entry for sauwastika, however, the author wrote how Eugene Bournof showed that it is the right-facing symbol is actually sauwastika, the "evil" symbol.
Considering that the Buddhist uses both symbols extensively, and that it was formed out as a subtle rebellion for the Hindu caste system, I'm not too surprised by this.

The nazi swastika you guys are talking about is in fact a Sauwastika and has the same symbol but tilted or turned the other way in some cases.
Don't associate with a symbol of good just because some madman took it and used it as a symbol for his faction.
There is little evidence of this distinction in Hindu history from which it is derived and, although the "standard" form is the right-facing swastika, Hindus all over India and Nepal still use the symbol in both orientations for the sake of balance.

The only swastika we now remember is the Nazi swastika, which was generally a clockwise swastika turned 45°, giving it an illusion of movement and power, a shape that sends shivers down our backs.
