Wish you all a very happy & prosperous Dhanateras

Our festival in India has a deep meaning of it, how we celebrate and what is the reason behind it? If we talk about Diwali festival it starts from Dhanteras and 5-day celebration.

On the Dhanteras day we only worship Mother Lakshmi devi and seek Her blessings, especially in form of wealth. The word “dhan” means wealth.

We think Dahan means only Laxmi Devi and Dhanteras is only for worshiping Lakshmi devi, the goddess of fortune.

However, this is not a complete understanding. Dhan-Teras, or Dhan triodashi, is also the day when Lord Dhanvantari appeared. This is why it is also known as Dhanvantari triodashi, which is the thirteenth lunar day of Krishna paksha.

Lord Dhanvantari is an incarnation of Lord Vishnu who appeared, during the great churning of the cosmic milk ocean, with nectar pot, and who later gave the knowledge of medical science known as Ayurveda to mankind billions of years ago.

Medical science advancement base is Lord Dhanvantari, who gave us herbs and medicines to protect us from diseases.

So, worshiping Lakshmi Devi is all good but don't forget to worship Lord Narayana also, because where Lord Narayana is there will be Goddess of fortune (Lakshmi Devi).

Once again wish you all a very happy Dhanteras.
