    Guys, I am going to share amazing information with you all. By now, I know it very well that traditions and rituals of Indian culture have a deep meaning attached to them. Nothing is baseless and superficial. I got to know about a wonderful significance of breaking the coconut before any puja or worship.

    •Actually the coconut symbolizes the heart of an individual so before breaking it we first of all remove the husk from the coconut that symbolizes our endless desires which we have to remove from our hearts in order to surrender it to God.

    •Then comes the hard shell—that symbolizes our Ego which we need to break thoroughly

    •And the moment we break the hard shell means breaking the ego what comes out is the water filled in the coconut. The water symbolizes the negativity lying within the heart the moment our ego is broken down negativity automatically comes out

    •And then what remains is the white pure skin of the coconut that is the main stuff to be offered to God. The white part symbolizes the soul that lives insides the heart and after removing the desires, breaking the ego and negativity released only the pure white soul has been left behind that should be devoted to God.

    Wow! Isn’t it a wonderful information my friends??
