Swastik is normally believed to be an amalgam of the words Su and Asati. Su means 'good' and Asati meant 'to exist'. As per Sanskrit grammar the words Su and Asati when amalgamated into one word become Swasti (as in the case of Su and Aaatam becoming Swagatam meaning welcome). Thus, the literal meaning of the term Swastika would be 'let good-prevail'.
Swastik is the sign of lord Ganesha and pyramids are embossed on it. This is an auspicious item to keep in the home to prevent it from evil eyes. It not only brings positive energy but also brings Good Luck to the person as well as remove all obstacles in all undertaking. From time immemorial the symbol of Ganesha , Swastik is being used as Luck Charm, i.e. It is believed where there is the Ganesha symbol, nothing bad can happen.
