Swastik

Include a swastik and aum are probably the two signs of hinduism. but on any new thing is happening swastik is written not aum,

Please replace aum by either an aum or swastik or swastik. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:HinduSwastika.svg

Should be added in the right corner.

The icon swastika represents the message that "everything is all right" [su+asti]. Om is one letter, made of three letters 'a', 'u' and 'm', and it represents the ultimate reality brahma [om-ityekākśaram brahma (iti+eka+akśara)]. Kanchanamala (talk) 04:22, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

P.S.: "omityekākśaram brahma" - Śrīmad-bhagavad-gītā, VIII.13. Kanchanamala (talk) 04:48, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Formatting

With this new wikipedia update, i can't really format or put the texts well, kindly format the following lines:-

One orthodox classification of Hindu texts is to divide into Śruti ("revealed") and Smriti ("remembered") texts. [11] These texts discuss theology, philosophy, mythology, rituals and temple building among other topics. [12] Major scriptures include the Vedas, Upanishads, Purāṇas, Mahābhārata, Rāmāyaṇa, Manusmriti, Bhagavad Gītā and Āgamas. [13]
