GEORGE TOWN: Devotees celebrating Thaipusam this Sunday (Feb 5) are urged to break fewer coconuts, says Consumers Association of Penang (CAP) education officer NV Subbarow.
He said the money used to break the coconuts can be used to fulfil the various needs of the needy Indian community who still live below the poverty line.
He said breaking coconuts, which have been ingrained in every Hindu’s heart, should be implemented in the right manner by breaking one coconut which should be done with full devotion. He said breaking coconuts during Thaipusam is a cleansing ritual practised by Hindu devotees and it is a symbolic representation of surrendering one’s ego in the feet of God which is done with full determination and devotion.
