Unveiling the Sacred: Why We Break Coconuts Before Every New Beginning

• Breaking a coconut symbolizes purity, representing the purification of mind, removal of ego, and negative thoughts for a smooth start.
• The coconut is considered an embodiment of Goddess Lakshmi and its three eyes represent the Trimurti (Brahma, Vishnu, Maheshwara), seeking their blessings for peace and prosperity.
• It is believed to remove evil eye and negative energy, bringing success to new endeavors and reducing inauspicious feelings.
• Historically, women did not break coconuts as they are considered symbols of creative power, a role women already embody; however, this tradition has evolved.
• For financial relief, wrapping a coconut in red cloth and placing it near Goddess Lakshmi, then in a wealth storage area, is believed to reduce obstacles.

Why It Matters: Breaking a coconut signifies purity, divine blessings, and removal of negativity for auspicious beginnings.
