Happy Dhanvantari Trayodashi (Dhanteras)
Today we celebrate God Dhanvantari for sharing the divine knowledge of Ayurveda to the world 🙏
This day was purposefully placed just before the winter season as the rituals prepare you for the season and ward off associated diseases.
What can you practice on this auspicious day?
1. The Dhanvantari mantra is recited
2. The house is thoroughly cleaned, removing all waste and clutter. To encourage good flow of energy around you and welcome peace within you
3. A lamp/candle is lit to mark the sanctity of the house. Light signifies the shadow of ignorance and negativity being over-taken by knowledge and realisation of the self
4. The day is dedicated to being introspective and having gratitude for all that we have been blessed with
5. Participate in a local Dhanvantari puja where Panchamrut is offered to the lord and taken afterwards as prashad for health and vitality.
om namāmi dhanvantarim ādidevaṃ surāsurair vanditapādapadmam
lokair jarārūgbhayamṛtyunāśaṃ dhātāram īśaṃ vividhauṣadhīnām.
dhanvantariṃ ramānāthaṃ sarvaroganivārakam,
āyurvedapravaktāraṃ vande pīyūṣadāyakam.
sarve janāḥ sukhino bhavantu.
