Actually, not "was", it is. In many Asian countries, the swastika is still a symbol of divinity and spirituality. You might see them drawn with red kumkum on both sides of doorsteps to welcome in good luck in Hindu households and in Jain temples in India, Buddhist temples in Japan, etc.
In Trinidad and Tobago West Indies it is used on the bedi when certain pujas are performed
health > healthy. "healthic"? swasth > swasthik(a) ?
I wonder why we find both svast and svasth.
the pronunciation is more a w sound than a v sound... is it right the way the computer spells it?

Technically speaking, the letter व is something between the English V and W (see also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_labiodental_approximant). In most examples I heard, व appears to be pronounced much closer to V (as far as I can tell). I suppose this is one of the examples of the opposite. Note that there are no separate letters to represent V and W in Devanagari (see also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devanagari#Letters).

I notice that if the व immediately follows another consonant as a conjunct, it tends to be pronounced more like w. At the beginning of a word it is more often pronounced v.
"I am well" was not accepted. To me 'I am in good health', 'I am healthy' and 'I am well' are just alternative ways of saying the same thing
