1082 SKRBH 305 WRONGFULLY ACCUSED: THE SWASTIKA IS NOT HITLER’S HAKENKREUZ

Hindus use Swastika in various aspects of life

…..

Wszystkiego Najlepszego dla wszystkich Słowianek i Słowian z okazji zbliżających się Szczodrych Godów!

Zanim zacznę ponownie publikować i porządkować ten sieciopis, oto podarek ode Mię na Szczodre Gody. Zobaczcie sami jak dumny wyznawca tradycji hinduskiej / po-pra-słowiańskiej, pokazuje jak wyznawcy tradycji pustynnej zakłamują święty symbol swastyki / swargi.

Mam nadzieję, że kiedyś nadejdzie taki dzień, że także i dumni Słowianie będą i wytykać takie manipulacje i wpychać je w gardła tym wszystkim, którzy ośmielają się naruszać nasze świętości… Oby czas zapłaty za zbrodnie wyrządzone Słowiańszczyźnie nadszedł jak najszybciej!

On a late June afternoon, I received a WhatsApp message that the State of New York was considering a bill that would mandate that the Swastika be taught as a symbol of hatred and intolerance in all New York schools.

(Note: As of July 2020, the bill has been stalled due to widespread outrage among Hindu, Buddhist, Jain and other communities due to the deeply religious significance of the Swastika in these traditions). Naturally, the Swastika and its equivalents hold immense sacred significance for Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, Native Americans, and many other cultures, and are thousands of years old. As a Hindu, I cannot imagine life without sacred symbols like Om, Swastika, Trishul, Tilak, and others. They form a deep connection through which we express our identities while connecting with the Divine. Each has its unique place in Hindu symbolism and practices.

Undoubtedly, educating students about hatred, racism and bigotry is essential. This is even more urgent, given the recent increase in hate crimes against Jewish and African American communities. Incidents of Neo-Nazi emblems being graffitied outside Jewish homes and synagogues, often accompanied by horrific acts of violence by hate groups have seen an alarming increase. Hindus and Sikhs have also been targets of of Neo-Nazis and those who support Nazi ideology.

Yet, the important work of fighting bigotry and racism must not inadvertently stoke resentment against other religious minorities. This was the  Hindu community’s concern about including the Swastika as a hate symbol in the New York bill without proper context.
