Coconut reflects entire Bhaarath philosophy. Ancient Sages and Saints has realised  that if entire philosophy has to remembered by common man, use of coconut in every worship Gods and Goddesses coconut is incorporated

Coconut has three layers:-

An outer layer is made up of harsh coir. This represents Thamo Guna (negative trait) present in human beings. If this negative trait is overcome i.e., when the coir is peeled, we come across the hardshell. This hard shell represents Rajo Guna (Semi-Positive trait/ Semi-Negative trait). Further, this hard shell also represents the ego of the individual which is very difficult to overcome. This phenomena of overcoming is made in the worship by way of breaking the coconut. This evidently mean though man overcomes his Negative trait , his Semi-positive trait would not easily allow him to overcome his/ her ego and overcoming of it, which symbolises the person becoming divine/ benign in nature.

Once the shell is broken and move inside then we find the sweet and tasty coconut pulp which is white in nature. The whiteness symbolises Satwa Guna i.e., Divine Trait (Positive trait).

However, this is not the end. A coconut consists inside nectar like sweet water which moves coconut is shaken. This is the symbol of Dynamic cosmic energy which ever in action in creation and also symbolises Hindu’s worshipping this dynamic energy as feminine force symbolising Gods and Goddesses. This means Goddesses are the energies available in the creatin in the varied forms and their operating the creating mainly with regard to precreation.

Once if the coconut is left for some time, this nectar like water inside totally disappears and a pure, hallow, empty, space is left behind which represents the nature of the supreme consciousness/ Universal Consciousness/ God Consciousness.

In the normal course of worship, if the coconut has no water inside and there is emptiness in it, it is not used in worship, because it has become absolute within it, but the worshipper excepts some results from his worship. Therefore, the worshipper uses a coconut having water in it, because their dynamic and Kinetic energy is there symbolising Goddess energy which fulfills – a desires of a worshipper in accordance with the worshipper’s karma according to time.

Therefore, the coconut in its entirety explains the Hindu Vedantic Philosophy of three Guna’s namely – Thamo, Rajo, and Satwa Guna’s and one who overcomes this three traits will reach the Supreme Being transcending the cycle of Birth and death which is represented by the empty space.
