# A Wonder Tender Coconut Poem by Samanyan Lakshminarayanan
# A Wonder Tender Coconut
A wonder
tender coconut
did have the ears
to hear..and
grow horns
A hundred years ago
a british collector
wanted a tender coconut
the tree he showed was not mans
it was gods
'no sir..that tree's
tender coconuts
are only for offering..to god
not for men'.said the villagers....well
he would not listen
'WHAT..HAVE THEY GOT HORNS'
he asked which was heard
not only by the villagers
the tree or god
heard it along
the tender coconut brought
to the collector..did have horns
a shocked collector did leave it by
it is still show cased even
after a hundred years have gone by
A SHRUNKEN COCONUT THOUGH
THE HORNS STAND FIRM
[ A KAILASANATHAR SIVAN TEMPLE SITUATED BETWEEN
TIRUNELVELI AND TIRUCHENDUR IN TAMILNADU, , INDIA
HAS THIS TENDER COCONUT]
Fact is strangr than fiction at times and this is indeed a lesson in Godly things which can be seen, regards
An amazing story! It held my attention to its conclusion. Very metaphorical. Kind regards, Sandra
a nice history story and informative. what is mans is mans, and what is GODS is GODS.
I lived in Thoothukudi for 3 years and very recently I went there on an official visit. I visited Tiruchendur so many times. But did not hear this story and about this Great temple you have mentioned about. Thanks for sharing. This is our heritage; our strength which you made it known to the world....a great job.
such works shall strengthen our relegious beliefs...this is so divine to read. thanks for sharing...I shall try to visit this temple.
Our land's a mystery.......it has everything from shadowless Viharas to horned coconuts! ! Right said the poet when he said, Janani Janmabhumi Svargadapi Gariyasi........... :)
