The Nature of Self. Sva is the self. Svastika is 'one's path to liberation'.

from The Almighty Ohm · host Al Ohm

In the below you will find the insight to the nature of self in this word, also a link to a mantra you may be familiar with in Japan. Another link I wished to share, culture, that was misheard as a discussion about meaning not message. The reason I mentioned ‘Independent’(the self) and the term used today in Malay for ‘Private’. Giving an insight to the meaning and the message. *There are many words for “healthy” in Samskr̥ta. https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/shvatha Probably the most commonis “svāsthya (स्वास्थ्य)”, the adjectival form of “svastha (स्वस्थ​)” and literally means [state] of being healthy (svastha). In Hindi, the word svāsthya can be used as it is, or as its derivative svāstha.  The Sanskrit word for health is Svasthya (स्वास्थ्य) and healthy is Svasth (स्वस्थ). It means coming to one's own self, realizing one's own self. SVA means self; 1 mf ( ā' ) n. own, one's own, my own, thy own, his own, her own, our own, their own https://www.sanskrita.org/wiki/index.php?title=sva SWASTHYA means getting rooted in the self. 'Medicine' and 'meditation' come from the same root. The Sanskrit word for healthy is 'svastha' स्वस्थ - sva-stha - self-positioned, that is, one who is centered in Self, the natural state. The swastika symbol, 卐 (right-facing or clockwise) or 卍 (left-facing, counterclockwise, or sauwastika), is an ancient religious icon in the cultures of Eurasia. It is used as a symbol of divinity and spirituality in Indian religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism ṭīkā (टीका).—f (S) A commentary or comment: also an annotation or a note: also an interpretation, whether by a paraphrase or a semi-translation. As ṭīkā is especially of the Puran̤s, so bhāṣya is especially of the Sutras, although, now, bhāṣya is of the Vedas, and vṛtti of the Sutras. 2 fig. Swelling, amplifying, embellishing (of a simple matter). 3 fig. Remarking censoriously, commenting upon. From  (sú, “good, well” Du as bad in dukka) + अस्ति (ásti-), a verbal abstract to the root of the verb "to be", svasti thus meaning "well-being" — and the diminutive suffix क (-ka); hence "little thing associated with well-being", corresponding roughly to "lucky charm".  The word swastika comes from Sanskrit: स्वस्तिक, romanized: svastika, meaning "conducive to well-being". In Hinduism, the right-facing symbol (卐) is called swastika, symbolizing surya ("sun"), prosperity and good luck, while the left-facing symbol (卍) is called sauwastika, symbolising night or tantric aspects of Kali.[8] In Jainism, a swastika is the symbol for Suparshvanatha – the seventh of 24 Tirthankaras (spiritual teachers and saviours), while in Buddhism it symbolises the auspicious footprints of the Buddha.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika https://www.lionsroar.com/226988-2/ https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/man-who-brought-swastika-germany-and-how-nazis-stole-it-180962812/ https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-29644591
