Just came to know the origin of swastika.
ancient Indian astronomy's integration of observable sky motion, where the pole star serves as a fixed center for tracking time through constellation shifts.

the way saptarishi (सप्तर्षि) mandala (big dipper) circles the north star through four seasons and weaves an eternal swastika of time, light, and dharma across the cosmos

"A #Cottbus #synagogue was defaced with a #swastika on Monday, and #graffiti calling for the death of #Jews was found in #Berlin on Sunday in a series of #antisemitic incidents in #Germany this week.

The Cottbus Synagogue was discovered #vandalized with a swastika painted onto its facade before dawn on Monday, according to the #Brandenburg Police, the second time in four days that the Jewish house of worship had been defaced."

"A retired #rabbi and his son were sentenced Wednesday in #Milwaukee for having destroyed a local #mural in 2024 that depicted the #StarofDavid transforming into a #swastika.

Rabbi Peter and Zechariah “Zee” Mehler were ordered to pay $1,000 total in restitution to #IhsanAtta, the property owner who had put up the mural. Peter, who pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge for criminal damage, was also fined $50, while Zee, who had pleaded guilty in December, was given a withheld sentence of 25 hours of community service." 🤔

Il Fatto Quotidiano: Svastica e simbolo delle SS sulla torta di compleanno, il titolare della pasticceria: “Il cliente voleva fare uno scherzo al figlio”. Bufera social

L’immagine di una torta di compleanno con una svastica e il simbolo delle SS pubblicata su Instagram è diventata virale nel giro di pochi minuti. Succede a Matera, dove la pasticceria Note di Gusto ha condiviso sui social la foto del dolce realizzato per un diciannovesimo compleanno, scatenando una valanga di polemiche e commenti indignati per la presenza di simboli offensivi. Travolto dalle critiche, il titolare del locale Alessandro Cirimelli è intervenuto con delle scuse pubbliche: “È stato un post fatto con leggerezza e velocità, senza il giusto approfondimento”.
“Chiediamo scusa per la pubblicazione del post”
Cirimelli ha poi preso le distanze dal contenuto della torta: “Chiaramente prendiamo le distanze dal contenuto e chiediamo scusa per la pubblicazione di un post che non condividiamo nei contenuti”. Secondo quanto riferito, la pasticceria avrebbe valutato solo l’aspetto estetico della realizzazione, senza considerare il significato dei simboli utilizzati. “Abbiamo ingenuamente pensato alla parte artistica della torta, senza ragionare sul messaggio che si celava dietro”, ha aggiunto Cirimelli. “Il cliente voleva semplicemente fare uno scherzo al figlio, ma noi non sapevamo cosa fosse. Chiediamo scusa”, ha concluso il titolare.

Swastika and SS insignia on the birthday cake, the pastry shop owner: “The client wanted to pull a prank on his son.” Social storm.

The image of a birthday cake with a swastika and SS symbols posted on Instagram went viral within a few minutes. It happened in Matera, where the pastry shop Note di Gusto shared the photo of the cake made for a 19th birthday on social media, triggering a landslide of criticism and indignant comments regarding the presence of offensive symbols. Faced with the criticism, the owner, Alessandro Cirimelli, intervened with public apologies: “It was a post made with lightness and speed, without the proper reflection.”

“We apologize for the publication of the post.”

Cirimelli then distanced himself from the content of the cake: “Clearly, we distance ourselves from the content and apologize for publishing a post that we do not share in our content.” According to reports, the pastry shop had only considered the aesthetic aspect of the creation, without considering the meaning of the symbols used. “We naively thought about the artistic part of the cake, without thinking about the message hidden behind it,” Cirimelli added. “The client simply wanted to pull a prank on his son, but we didn't know what it was. We apologize,” the owner concluded.
