The right handed swastika is the Nazi symbol, The left handed swastika is a religious symbol.

The counter clockwise rotating swastika is Nazi symbol, co-opted by the Nazi Party from Hindu mythology.

"Svastika," BTW is a Sanskrit word.

The clockwise rotating svastika is the religious symbol. It was taken from the way the various faults and strata of Mount Kailas appear in the Himalayas during the spring when the snow melts off that mountain. Mount Kailas was thought to be the center of the whole universe and that the gods dwell on its summit. That is why the Nazis co-opted the symbol and made it go backwards so as to bring back the supremacy of the Aryan race.It is thought that the Nazis also had secret rituals about this.

All this is from an understanding of the religious history of the Himalayas and the purposeful Nazi appropriation of a mystic symbol, which has been manifest in both Buddhist and Hindu religions for many thousands of years.

The Nazis actually believed they could turn back time with a counter rotating svastika, back to a time when the Germanic tribes would once again rule Europe and eventually the world.

Mt Kailas with it's only partly exposed svastika:

Actually I’ve seen Buddhists use both symbols. Same for American Indians.
