A beautiful symbolism
Why do we give coconuts and bananas as offerings to deities in worship ? When we take fruits with seeds we throw away the seeds after consuming the fruits. The seeds grow again to new yield of fruits again. But coconuts and bananas when eaten are left with outer shells and peels of bananas onl If you throw them they don’t sprout. So after reaping the fruits of karmas of previous births, to seek a state of no birth is indicated in selection of coconuts and bananas in worship.
