Ayurveda Day (Dhanwantari Jayanti)
"Namaami dhanvantari maadi dēvam suraa surair vandita paada padmam
loke jara ruk bhaya mrutyu naasham daatarameesham vividoushadeenaam”
I bow and humbly request Lord Dhanwantari, who is the embodiment of perfect health -- respected by great seers and evil people -- to remove old age, disease, fear and death through His divine presence in all natural herbal medicines.
AAPNA has declared that the first Monday of every October each year will be "Ayurveda Day". Ayurveda Day falls on the eve of the birth celebrations of Dhanwantari. Lord Dhanwantari is the creator of Ayurveda.
On Ayurveda Day and all week long, free ayurveda awareness lectures, workshops, and other special events will be conducted. If anyone is interested in listing their free events for the week, please email us at contact@aapna.org, and we will be happy to post them.
