Significance of Dhanvantri Mantra on Dhanteras

On the day of Dhanteras, it is believed that invoking Lord Dhanvantri through mantra recitation can protect one from diseases and ensure a long, healthy life. Lord Dhanvantri emerged from the ocean during the great churning (Samudra Manthan), carrying the pot of Amrit (nectar of immortality), symbolizing eternal life and wellness.

Chanting Day and Time

On Dhanteras (two days before Diwali), devotees can chant the Dhanvantri mantra during the early morning hours (Brahma Muhurta) or sunset to receive the full benefits of the recitation. It is ideal to sit in a clean space, light a lamp, and chant with full devotion.
