Origins of Coconut

Kalpa 'vriksha' - that is Sanskrit for what we know as coconut. It means 'tree which gives all that is necessary for living'. Which is a really apt description of it knowing what it can do. Perhaps after reading this you'd be inspired to start planting a couple of coconut trees in your backyard. While it may not be the first tree people would think of when starting an orchard, but after learning about its benefits, your coconut tree is going to be quite a prized possession! The ancient sages clearly knew what an amazing plant the coconut was, and have revered it ever since.
