What is the Altruistic view (Paramaardham)
when we offer the coconut to the God ?
In Hindu customs, what ever it is said,
for every custom there is certain reason and
the meaning which is related to the mundane
and as well as Param which is the next world.
Some thousands of years ago, there was a custom
of animals which were sacrificed to deities
(Jantu Bali) on account of the religious vows.
The animals were used to become victims.
Almost it was like a Jantu Himsa.
There were a number of those Jantu bali,
for the sake of peoples’ religious vows .
At that time, when the Buddhism was started spreading ,
there the non-voilence movement was
customized and also propagated every where.
The proponents of the non-violence,
forbidded (prohibited) the Jantu Bali which is
killing of the animals on account of religious vows.
Afterwards , then slowly there was another
custom which came into existence.
In the place of Jantubali, the coconut has come for offering to deities.
Praying to the Lord and offering the Cocunut
means breaking the coconut as Naivedyam
to the Deity has come as a formal custom
which was also existed in the ancient time.
Means it was reapeated again.
Meaning of offering the coconut (breaking the coconut )
as Prasadam, the fibre of the coconut
indicated for our hair. Hence that we are
offering ourselves by breaking the coconut to the God.
What are the daanava
satwa qualities of a lady ?
The woman who can understand all the things well,
who can also know the unknown things well
and who can come forward with activeness for
all the things as if she feels a leader, and also
who neglects the worship of the divinity, and
who feels that she is capable of doing every
thing skillfully and also who afflicts (tortures)
others unncessarily is having the Daanavasatwa qualities.
