The ancient sages always began any effort or auspicious activity by offering a coconut with their prayers. This is a hidden spiritual mechanism to receive blessings for success. 

The coconut represents us and the hard shell of our egos, that when 'cracked' and released, reveals the purity and divine consciousness within us.

If you’re not able to join a fire puja, offer­ing a coconut is a way to receive heal­ing energy trans­mis­sions, divine support for your dharma, and purify the earth around you.
