I think the theosophical society must not drop this symbol,this symbol refresent mystical meaning used by ancient civilisation and later on as what has been said abused,perverted,by the nazis I think what the nazis think abt this symbol refresent world conquest for them.but the symbol itself refresent esoteric principle not violent conquest or whatsoever

Thank you very much indeed. I have read extensively
in history but never found the story of the swastika
in Europe. After all this stuff about Hitler that
three or our list members keep posting I was beginning
to think there might be something to what they are
saying. Your comments are very reassuring and put
things into perspective.

I can see how this would have been necessary after
Bismarck merged the Germanic states into a federation
in the nineteenth century. It is regrettable that it
was turned to evil purposes later.

Which is an excellent reason for the Theosophists to
quietly drop he symbol from their publications.
