Swastika
In Jainism the swastika represents the perpetual nature of the universe in the material world, where a creature is destined to one of four states of existence. It also represents the four columns of the Jain Sangha - monks, nuns and female and male laymen - as well as the four characteristics of the soul: infinite knowledge, infinite perception, infinite happiness, and infinite energy.
