It is in our Traditional culture that a lady who visits your house should be offered a Tambula before she returns to her home. This practice has a cultural and spiritual significance. A coconut offered with tambula, which is a mix of betel nut and betel leaf, gets you the merits of performing the ashvamedha yaga. Usually we are aware of tender coconuts and those coconuts which we use for cooking. But little do we know that they have a strong spiritual significance, and all the five types of coconuts are highly regarded as objects for worship. If you sight a coconut in your dreams, it shows that a gift is on your way. Also, coconut is believed to cleanse your from within when it is consumed orally.

5 Types Of Coconuts

1. Dry Copra.
2. Coconut water
3. Peeled coconut
4. Special coconut
5. Sriphal

Coconut water, peeled coconut, and dry copra need no introduction. Let us understand what Sri phala and special coconut are about. Sriphal is offered to Goddess Lakshmi along with a coin. It is a rare tiny fruit that resembles a coconut in shape that is available on the sea shore. It attracts affluence and good fortune. This Betel nut sized coconut is placed in the locker, purse or cash box to attract wealth. It is also used to mitigate the Sade sati effect on a person which is undergoing the period of Saturn. If it is placed in the place where you conduct business, wealth will double, and poverty will be eradicated. Special coconut is a special type of coconut in which you can see another ingrown small coconut. This is very lucky to sight and augurs well for your prosperity. Coconut has some spiritual uses.

1. If you pray to the Lord and offer someone with sore throat, some tender coconut, it will cure quickly.
2. If someone is suffering frequently from hiccups, Offer Jal Abhishek with Coconut Water to Lord Shiva. He will not be bothered by hiccups often thereafter.
3. If you visit a brahmin, Guru, or a saint or a sadhu, pay your respects to them, and offer them tender coconut. Your tasks will be completed on time, you will succeed in your ventures and you will get rid of all hindrances that are stopping you from progressing. It will bless you with fame and victory as well.
4. Vaastu doshas or defects can be eradicated if coconut water or tender coconut is offered to guests who are thirsty due to the scorching sun. It not only satiates them, it also frees you from the defects of having a bad Vaastu in the house.
5. If you worship tender coconut, you will experience an upsurge of spiritual powers.
6. If a tender coconut is worshipped either for 3, 8 or 12 days continuously, it removes the poverty of the residents of the house it Is worshipped in.
7. If a coconut is offered to Lord Shiva and Abhishek is conducted with the tender coconut, long standing kidney problems reduce in severity.
8. Coconut is also used to deflect the buri nazar or evil eye. Waving a coconut over an individual, it attracts the dark energy and vibrations which remain in the coconut. Later, this coconut must be set to float in a flowing water or it is broken. When it cracks with a loud bursting noise, the black energy in it escapes from it, vanishes and does not return.
