Lord Ganesha installed in the center of a coconut. Bring home this colorful and attractive piece to invoke His blessings.
Coconut is considered highly auspicious in puja rituals. The structure of the coconut also has been given a deep spiritual significance. As defined in the Vedanta (the ultimate book of knowledge) Man is made up of the Gross Body (physical body), Subtle Body (mind- that relating to world), Causal Body ( a higher state of mind) and the Atman (soul/true self). The smooth outer skin of the coconut represents man’s Gross Body. Within the Gross body is the subtle body of mind, this is represented by the matted coir of the coconut, indicating the desires and attachments of man with the outer world. The hard shell represents the Causal Body and the white inside the Kernel represents the Self. Smashing the coconut is symbolic of annihilating the ego and humbling oneself before God. When ever a work of magnitude is undertaken it is natural for the persons involved to feel a sense of pride at what they are setting out to achieve or what they have achieved.
Lord Ganesha is widely revered as the remover of obstacles and more generally as the Lord of beginnings and the Lord of obstacles, patron of arts and sciences, and the deva of intellect and wisdom. He is honoured at the beginning of rituals and ceremonies.
