Shri Ramachandran ji,


Excellent posting. Thanks for the enlightenment on various dhanas. The list does not include 'Godhanam'. The result of this dhanam can also be gained by offering a coconut, which is representative of a cow. I appreciate the fact that this is a reproduction from the source. The posting is highly informative. Kindly keep it up, sir.

Regards.

Go Dhanam was later addition. In Vedic period that is 5000 Years back, the go dhanam was given in thousands to the sages by the kings. Brahman wont give any Dhana, and Vysyas also will donate the cow only to temples and not to sigle brahman. the 1000s of cow taken as dhana was also for the school and not for any individual brahman.
The Gifting of Coconut was the kerala tradition and I am yet come across a word where vedas quote about the coconut as dhana. Soon I come across that word I will quote them
