What it means to put a coconut under the bed The coconut is a symbol of good luck and prosperity in many cultures and especially for the Hindu religion. Known as “Sriphal” in Sanskrit, the coconut translates as “fruit of God” or “fruit of the gods” and is the symbol of Ganesha, the Hindu god of fortune, abundance and the removal of obstacles.
It is an essential offering in almost all Hindu rituals and is placed in Hindu temples as a symbol of the fullness of life.
However, the coconut is also used in Latin America in order to protect against negative rituals or spells that are intended to harm the person, be it their health, family or financially.

coconut spiritual meaning
As we mentioned before, the coconut has been given a deep spiritual meaning especially in Hinduism. As defined in Vedanta (the latest book of knowledge), man is made up of the Gross Body (physical body), the Subtle Body (the mind that relates to the world), the Causal Body (a higher state of mind) and the Atman (soul/True Self).
The smooth outer skin of the coconut represents the gross body of man. Within the gross body is the subtle body of the mind, which is represented by the tangled coconut fiber, indicating man’s desires and attachments to the outside world. The hard shell represents the Causal Body and the white within the Core represents the Self.
The fiber covering the dried coconut is removed except for a tuft at the top. The markings on the coconut make it look like a human’s head. The coconut when it breaks, symbolizes the rupture of the ego. The inner juice, which represents the inner tendencies (vaasanas), is offered together with the white grain, the mind, to the Lord. A mind thus purified by the touch of the Lord is used as prasaada (a holy gift).
The coconut is a fruit, the end result of some action. Similarly, as the end result of our actions, we also get some fruits (a particular state in the material world and state of mind) PLUS a new set of desires from this achieved platform. Basically, the end result of working on one set of wishes is another set of wishes.
In Latin America, the coconut is seen as a shell (due to its strong exterior structure) that repels bad energies. Next, let’s see exactly what it means to put a coconut under the bed and what a buried coconut means.

What does it mean to put a coconut under the bed?
It usually has a use for protection. To do this, select a medium-sized coconut and wash it with plenty of water. It is then placed in the sun for three days and placed 30 minutes before sleeping under the bed.
You can leave the coconut in that place for a month and then change it for another one, following the same procedure explained above. If you notice that the coconut has become very dry or has changed in a strange way, it is most likely that it has absorbed all the bad energies from the environment. In that case, you should throw the coconut in a place as far away from your home as possible.

What does a buried coconut mean?
If you find a coconut buried in your garden or in a place where it shouldn’t be, you need to dig it up carefully. To do this, you will need: A black bag, a pair of plastic gloves, a shovel and holy water.
Once outside, it is sprinkled with holy water while pray to Saint Michael the Archangel and you must place it inside the bag, making sure that nothing comes out of its interior (generally, in these cases, the coconut is open and contains elements of some ritual inside).
The bag is tied well and it will take you to the most remote and uninhabited place that can be found. The bag is deposited there and must be removed from there without looking back.
