 | | 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. |
