Sri Yantra  Used as a visual focal point for meditation  Represents spiritual evolution  The triangles merge into one when focused on to symbol 1 God

Swastika  Ancient symbol of good fortune and protection  The wheel of life with God at its unchanging centre  Nazi symbol is drawn in reverse. And on a tilt

The Lotus  the beautiful lotus is symbolic of the true soul of an individual.  It represents the being, which lives in turbid waters yet rises up and blossoms to the point of enlightenment.  Lotus is also a symbol of creation, since Brahma, the creator came forth from the lotus that blooms from the navel of Vishnu.

The Cow  In Hinduism, the cow is revered as the source of food and symbol of life  and may never be killed  Hindus do not worship the cow, however, and cows do not have especially charmed lives in India.  It is more accurate to say the cow is taboo in Hinduism, rather than sacred.
