POLAND, May 26, 2010: Polish authorities are considering banning an ancient religious symbol, or “swastika,” in the new Hindu temple in Wolka Kosowska, a small village near Warsaw. Authorities are worried that the ancient Hindu religious swastika — derived from the Sanskrit word svastika — violates Poland’s ban on symbols associated with Nazi or communist dictatorships. For Hindus, the cross symbolises prosperity and happiness.
Inside the Hindu Bhavan temple there will be nine Indian Gods and Goddesses, imported from the Jaipur region in India. There will also be a swastika.
