A coconut tree is not just a plant, it is an integral part of life. Therefore, cutting it feels like dying once — this feeling is a symbol of love for nature, tradition and love for life.
Many believers in Asia, including Hindus, consider coconuts to be sacred. When used in religious activities, it is called Shreephal. Coconuts are used most in temples. On the days of Diwali, Dussehra, and Ganapati Puja, large quantities of coconuts are offered to God. This tree is also called the tree of wish fulfillment, because all parts of this tree can be used.
This is an abhanga by Saint Jagadguru Tukaram Maharaj. Let us first see this complete abhanga, because there is a mutual relationship in the abhanga.
The tree is a source of joy to us, the forest.
The birds sing sweetly.
The fragrance of solitude is pleasant to come.
No, the qualities and defects come to the body.
The sky pavilion is the earth’s seat.
The mind plays there in joy.
The body is treated with a mask.
I feel the wind.
The story of the story of the food is a gift.
I will serve you in every way.
You say that the mind is in dialogue.
You have a dispute with yourself.
This abhanga is written by Tukaram Maharaj, who believes that we have many benefits from the tree Valli, so they are our true friends. The animals and birds in the forest are also remembering the name of Pandurang Vitthal, he says through the abhanga. We are truly related to this forest.
The cover / pavilion of this forest is the sky, while this earth is a kind of bed. Someone come and enjoy the solitude, shade, breeze, rustling of leaves.
In the presence of these trees, the sages and sages took their seats and Kamandalu and in this solitude, they filled the Kamandalu with stories.
If you want to know who you are and what you are doing, come to these forests and sing hymns, then you will understand the purpose of your birth.
