Meaning:
O Lord ! Salutations to you Lord Dhanvantri, who is none other than Vasudeva (Vishnu)!

You hold in your hands the pot containing the Nectar of Immortality.You remove/destroy fear. You are the ruler of the three worlds. You are Lord Vishnu and we offer our respectful salutations to you.

My sincere apologies for not posting for over two months. This summer has been a difficult one for my family because of serious medical problems. During this challenging time the only thing that has kept us strong is prayer. Prayer infuses you with energy and strength of body and mind, that you sometimes don't know you possess.

I want to share with you a particular prayer that was taught to me, at this time, by our temple priest. It is devoted to Lord Dhanvantri, believed to be the Divine Healer and the Father of Ayurveda. He is a form of Lord Vishnu and is represented as carrying a 'kalash' (pot) of the magical Nectar of Immortality.

This prayer is famed to heal and help with the recovery process when someone is ill. You can say this prayer for yourself or if you are saying it for the health of someone else then visualize that person as you chant.

We performed Dhanvantri Homam pooja, where-in the priest made offerings to the Holy fire and we chanted the Dhanvantri Mantra 108 times with complete concentration of mind. After that day I have been chanting it 21 times, 5 times or sometimes just once a day, as time permits.The more times you chant the more potent the mantra becomes. It is important to chant out loud so the vibrations from this mantra, or any other mantra for that matter, can fill your environment and reverberate in the Universe.

With faith, patience and prayer we become spiritually strong, and gain confidence to tide over difficult circumstances with equanimity and calm. 

We have the power to overcome!

Sincerely,
Meera Sharma
