Why did Nazi German used the Swastika as their national symbol and flag?

I red that the Swastika is a “ancient religious icon used in the Indian subcontinent, East and Southeast Asia, where it remains a sacred symbol of spiritual principles in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. In the Western world, it was historically a symbol of auspiciousness and good luck” But why use it as a symbol of the “Arian race”? Does it had a different meaning for the Nazis than the Buddhists?
