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.

Nectar in the beginning but Poison in end

He was young and belonging from rich family, he entered into the compartment and seated next to me. Long and stylist hair, branded watch on wrist, iPhone in hand but he was loosing his control. Started abusing someone on phone and shouting out very louder, people was looking at him. He was fully drunken and started vomiting, people thrown out him out of train and he slayed down at platform. Story is not over yet, I was thinking is this our modern education we are providing to our children and in the name of facilities we are giving them huge money, branded gadgets, but being an guarding do we ever try to esquire what they do and, which type of association they keep? Once these things comes in their hands they start thinking, no one is greater than me and due to false ego they disrespect elder people.

Lord Shiva - A Pure Vaishnava

Most of the people take Lord Shiva in another way by intoxicating themselves and whatever they want for their own sense gratifications, but Lord Shiva has a very unique quality and he always busy in the welfare of others as we can see how He drank poison and saved entire world and keep chanting Lord's holy name to please Lord Krishna. But unfortunately these qualities of Lord Shiva we never want to see and implement in our own life. In Srimad Bhagwatam (12.13.16) it is mentioned: निम्नगानां यथा गङ्गा देवानामच्युतो यथा । वैष्णवानां यथा शम्भु: पुराणानामिदं तथा ॥ १६ ॥ Just as the Ganga is the greatest of all rivers, Lord Acyuta the supreme among deities and Lord Sambhu [Lord Shiva] the greatest of Vaishnavas, so Srimad-Bhagavatam is the greatest of all Puranas. It is said that, "If someone left his body in Kashi then he is liberated and the reason behind it is when people die Lord Shiva goes and chant Krishna's holy name in their ear." I am sharing a very nic...
