"My son, my son had to say panganjali:" Om Swastyastu ". Did my son what it means?

If not, hear! OM is the sacred character of Sang Hyang Widhi (GOD). Guru will be explained further. Swastiastu consists of Sanskrit words: SU + ASTI + Astu, Su means good, Asti meaning do, Astu means hopefully.

So overall sense of "OM-SWASTIASTU" is "Hope is in good condition for the gift of god".

Swastyastu word is closely linked to the sacred symbols of our religion that is SWASTIKA, which is the basis of the strength and well-being Buana Agung (Macrocosm) and Buana Alit (Microcosm). The swastika shape is made such that it is similar to the galaxy or collection of stars on the horizon, which is the basis of the strength of this natural turnover. This natural state is already known by our ancestors since time immemorial, and the Swastika emblem, there have been thousands of BC.

And with the greeting panganjali Swastiastu, in fact we've begged protection to god, which controls the whole universe. And of the swastika shape, there arose a form Padma (lotus) flowers leafy eight (asta dala) which we use the basic harmony of nature, purity and eternal peace.

The suffix "ka" is to form an adjective into a noun. For example: jana - born; Janaka - father; Pawa - burn; Pawaka - fire, and others. Remember my son, what Guru use to answer greeting panganjali it?

The Suyasa:

Guru forgive myself servant over ignorance. It would be very much the servant ask so really it will cease all darkness inherent in the soul of a servant. Guru-although it sounds rather childish to forgive if your student to ask what is the meaning of religion itself. Furthermore, we need to understand together what is the meaning behind the words Om Swastyastu.
