Dhanvanthai Kavacha Stotram

Dhanvanthai  Kavacha  Stotram

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

(here  is the greatest   prayer that   I know  addressed  to God  Dhanvanthari  requesting him to cure all diseases. After  chanting the kavacha, the moola manthra  has to be chanted and then there is again a prayer  to get rid  of diseases. Then there  is a part  to loosen the ties.)

Om  Sri Gurubhyo nama , Om Sri  Ganesaya nama , Om Sri kula  devathayai nama

                     

                    Om Salutations  to Ganesa  , Guru and Kula devatha
