Why Offer Betel Leaves Nut Fruits in Temples
It represents the Female principle, The Potent and Latent One(Prakruthi, loosely translated as Nature )
Nuts represent Experience , the taste a mixture of sweet and bitterness....
Another explanation is Saiva Siddhanta postulates Three Fundamental Entities.
Pasu(பசு ), Pathi ( பதி) and Paasam ( பாசம்)
Here Pathi is Siva in Saiva Siddhanta, (corresponds to Brahman),Pasu (Jivatman) and Paasam(Bondage)
Once the chain in transcended one becomes the One of which he is a part(rather he reverts to the Original State)
