Our ancestors have left us many kinds of science and life habits. We neglect it by not knowing its sciences. It is a well-known fact that our past rulers have manipulated and destroyed most of our ancient notes. Followed by which the people who ruled us also kept these practices aside by talking about non-belief of God (atheism). We also didn’t make effort or believe to know ancestors’ scientific greatness.
For example
“Who has thousands of roots is a half doctor!” is our saying.
But it was changed to “Who kills thousand is a half doctor!”
So, we have not known the beauty & medicine of the root. We are using these lines to mock others .
There was a first Siddha (mentioned by Agathiyar in his poem) named Bogar, who made the Navabasana statue at Palani temple. In his book Saptakandam poem 1799 and 1800, Bogar has clearly mentioned about aviation technology and not only talked about the process but also fled with it how. Not only that, in the poem 1926, he mentioned how to operate a ship with a steam engine and also mention about ship designs. Many Siddhas like Bhogar have given us infinite knowledge.
My attempt is to bring to our knowledge some of the science that our ancestors have given us.
In this first week edition lets understand the significance about Coconut, Banana’s.
Why are coconuts and bananas the main thing in temple or home worship? Why is it offered to God?
How many of us know the science of it? It’s just basic science, not a rocket science.
Sacred objects presented to god have real meanings.
- Bananas and coconuts are available 365 days a year. These are not seasonal fruits and are available in all towns without any restrictions.
- Coconuts and bananas are the main primary fruits.
-Coconut and Banana are the only two fruits in this world which are considered to be “Sacred fruits“. All other fruits are tainted fruits (partially eaten fruits) . For example, the apple tree grows from the seed of another eaten fruit and that fruit is treated as tainted. Which is same for Mango, jackfruit. Banana comes from saplings that grow as plantains.
-Everyone can afford to buy banana and coconut.
- Banana and Coconut are nutritious and considered as the best food to eat daily. It is rich in starch, protein, fat, mineral salts and vital nutrients.
— We can understand the importance of banana by the old saying “Banana is the strength of human life”. That is the reason for getting its name in tamil “Vaazha” meaning “to live” and “Pazham” meaning “fruit”. (Vaazha Pazham — Banana) and In practice it became “vaazhai pazham”.
Our Ancestors had found this reality long ago and they had made it as a system which is still followed.
Hope you know the science of coconut and banana now.
