Coconut as Prasadam
The coconut that is broken in temples can be given as prasadam. This is because the traditions believe that the coconut represents the head of a man. When it touches the idol of a lord it is purified. This when taken as prasad purifies the mind of the person who is accepting it as prasad. Coconut is also offered to the sea on purnima to seek blessing of the lords. Before you start a new car or a new factory always ensure that a coconut is broken.
Symbol of Purity and Selflessness
A symbol of vitality, fertility and prosperity, the coconut has much to offer in a traditional environment. The modern mind does not want to follow traditions blindly. Basic curiosity prompts men to question the how and why and seek effective explanations and that is why we thought to write this article explaining the concepts to you.
Hence we see that the offering of the coconut had a special significance at the time the custom was made and it has several symbolic representations as well. Such customs and traditions were meant to remind the common people who did not find time for deeper study of the Vedas and scriptures that they need to keep diving within as well, in search of the creator. So hopefully you now realize the importance of offering coconut in Hindu puja rituals.
