There are certain signs and symbols in Indian culture that are considered auspicious. Vastu Shastra, too, promotes these signs as auspicious. However there are several signs that are thought to be auspicious, such as, cross in Christian religion, crescent moon and a star in Islam, key in Russia, Arihant in Jainism and others. Swastik in the Hindu religion as well in Vastu Shastra is an auspicious symbol.

The spiritual energy or power of these auspicious signs can be measured in units. The machine, which can measure, is known as Bovimeter. Other instruments for calculating the energy obtained from mysterious powers are Lobe Antenna or Lattice antenna. This machine was invented by a German scientist, Unrst Hartmann. The auspicious energy of the Swastika Sign from the Hindu religion is one lac bovis.
As per the calculations, this particular symbol has the energy of seventy thousand bovis. This measurement is similar to that of the energy level of the cross sign in Christianity. The auspicious Russian Sign key has an energy level of nine thousand bovis. The energy level of Arihant sign is Sixty one thousand bovis. The presence of such symbols in a household results in the overall increase of the auspicious energy in the house. The presence of such auspicious energy proves to be quite helpful for the head of the family too.
