NAIVEDYA PUJÄ (SWEET)
Naivedya symbolizes tasty foods. By doing this Pujä, one should strive to reduce or eliminate the attachment to tasty food. Healthy food is essential for survival, however one should not live to eat tasty foods. The ultimate aim in one's life is to attain a state where no food is essential for one's existence, and that is the life of a liberated Soul, who lives in Moksha forever in ultimate bliss. Some sects of Digambars use pieces of coconut in this pujä.
