Dhanvantari Ashtothara

Dhanvantari Ashtothara

Translated  by
P.R.Ramachander

(Lord Dhanvaanthari   is one of the minor incarnation of Lord Vishnu. He rose    from  the ocean of milk , holding  a pot of  nectar , when it waw churned by the Devas and Asuras.  His name means “destrpyer of dideases”. As per the  instruction of Lord Vishnu he was born as a    son of king of Kasi and completely formulated the  science of Ayurveda , which is possibly the oldest  science of treatment in the world.  He  has four hands, iin one  of which , He holds the  pot of nectar . In the other hands he holds  a golden leech, a pot for letting out blood (In some cases he holds a  book on Ayurbeda instead of this) , Shanka and Chakra. He is also called Abja. It is believed that  the devotee who worships Dhanvantri gets free of all diseases .In the North India, he has statue in the Benares temple  , In Sri Rangam temple , there  is supposed to be a separate Dhanvantri Sannidhi. In WAlajabad of Tamil Nadu a huge temple   for him has been built  .
    In Kerala there are two famous temples for Dhanvantri,   one in Maruthoorvattam and another in Belluvai  .It was a practice that   all Ayurvedic physicians, after completion of their education  were supposed to stay  in these temples eating only the Prasadam of this temple for 40 days, before starting their practice,.
      The Gayatri for meditation on this God is
Om namo bhagavathe vasudevaaya Dhanwantharaye
Amrithakalasa hasthaaya
Sarva bhaya vinaasanaaya
Thrylokyanaathaaya sree mahavishnave namaha.
Meaning:
Om, salutations to you lord vasudeva dhanwantari,
Who has the pot of nectar in his hand,
Who is the destroyer of all fears
Who is the lord of three worlds,
Salutations to Sri Mahavishnu.
There is a [rayer to Dhanvantri called Mrutha SAnjeevini  Kavacham, which is supposed   to help in preventing untimely death   addressed to  Dhanvantri . You can read it  in
