Dhanwantari God - #6096
I’ve been reading about Ayurvedic history and came across the term Dhanwantari God. Can someone explain who the Dhanwantari God is and why he is considered significant in Ayurveda? From what I understand, Dhanwantari God is believed to be the divine physician and the originator of Ayurvedic knowledge. Is there a specific mythology or story about how the Dhanwantari God introduced medicinal practices to humanity? I’ve also heard that the Dhanwantari God is worshipped during certain rituals and ceremonies related to healing. Are there specific Ayurvedic treatments or herbs that are traditionally associated with his teachings? If anyone has participated in rituals or festivals dedicated to the Dhanwantari God, how did it impact your connection to Ayurveda? I’d love to know more about how his principles are integrated into modern Ayurvedic practice.
