Main Symbols of Hinduism
Om

This symbol represents the Supreme Being, Brahman. In addition, Om mystically embodies the essence of the entire universe. As the most sacred sound, Om is the root of the universe and everything that exists and it continues to hold everything together.
The Swastika, or Svastik, is used as a symbol of well being. The four branches of the Swastika represent the fourfold principles of divinity including: the directions in which Brahma spreads his power, the four Vedas, the four aims of life (Purusharthas), and the four yugas of the world cycle.
