Guest guest Posted July 5, 2001 Report Share Posted July 5, 2001 Dear Brothers and Sisters of Samratchana Family. Ganesh has shared with us a wonderful piece of information on Breaking Coconuts..... Thanks to saranam.com and Thanks to Ganesh. Now let us evaluate the contemporary reasons for Breaking Coconuts: As a contract with the God - If I get good marks - I will break " N " number of Coconuts. or If someone is not well - if he recovers then I will break " N " number of Coconuts. Similar other reasons.. In many Ganesh temples - Nowadays - they have kept a separate tank built for breaking coconuts. Still people have the pleasure of breaking the same on the Road. Why on the Road ? Why Break it - in the way - that it gets shattered gets dirty and few children have to fight for the dirty coconuts ? We the devotees of Baba : Can we Pray to Baba - if this is Okay - & Correct. Can we give the fruit to the Poor for his meal The Coconut in the Full form - I mean. I request -Mr.Suresh Krishna - during his next darshan with Baba can request Baba to enlighten us on the significance of this ritual. Thanks to all for the Participation on this topic. I request this egroup members to come up with similar topics or even better topics ( Higher Planes :-) ) My text topic is The Untold Story: " THE HEAD OF LORD GANESH " We all know that Lord Shiva cut the head of the Child Ganesh and later he replaced the Child's head with an Elephants head ..... We all know - the story behing the same...... Now - the untold story is : What happened to the Child's head ? Who took that ? What did He do with that ? Hope the egroup is curious to know this story !!!! By the grace of Baba, Expecting, More interesting moments ahead......

This is a bit long explanation for breaking of coconuts to the lord. Regards, Ganesh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
