Dhanvantari Ji Ki Katha

Bahut pracheen samay ki baat hai. Ek baar devtaon aur daityon ke beech bhayankar yudh hua. Is yudh me devta kamzor padne lage aur apni shaktiyan khone lage. Tab sabhi devta Bhagwan Vishnu ke paas pahunche aur unse sahayata maangi. Bhagwan Vishnu ne devtaon se kaha ki yadi ve amrit prapt kar lein, to amar aur shaktishaali ho jayenge. Lekin amrit keval samudra manthan se hi prapt ho sakta tha. Isliye Bhagwan Vishnu ne devtaon aur daityon ko milkar Ksheersagar ka manthan karne ka upay bataya. Samudra manthan ke liye Mandarachal parvat ko mathani banaya gaya aur Nagaraj Vasuki ko rassi ke roop me upyog kiya gaya. Devta aur daitya dono milkar samudra manthan karne lage. Manthan ke dauran anek divya ratna aur vastuayein nikli — Lakshmi Mata, Kamdhenu, Airavat haathi, Chandrama, Parijat vriksh aur anek divya ratna. Lekin manthan ke dauran sabse pehle bhayankar vish “Halahal” nikla, jisse poore brahmand me sankat utpann ho gaya. Tab Bhagwan Shiv ne sansar ki raksha ke liye us vish ko apne kanth me dhaaran kar liya, jisse unka kanth neela pad gaya aur ve Neelkanth kehlaaye. Samudra manthan aage badhta raha. Ant me ek divya purush prakat hue, jinke haathon me swarn kalash tha. Us kalash me amrit bhara hua tha. Wahi divya purush Bhagwan Dhanvantari the. Unka swaroop atyant tejasvi aur divya tha. Ve chaar bhujaon wale the aur unke haathon me amrit kalash, shankh, chakra aur aushadhiyaan thi. Bhagwan Dhanvantari ko Ayurveda ka devta maana jata hai. Unhone sansar ko chikitsa aur swasthya ka gyaan diya. Unhone manushyon ko rogon se bachne, swasth rehne aur aayu badhane ke upay bataye. Isliye unhe devtaon ka vaidya bhi kaha jata hai. Jab Bhagwan Dhanvantari amrit kalash lekar prakat hue, tab daityon ne amrit chheenane ka prayas kiya. Tab Bhagwan Vishnu ne Mohini roop dhaaran karke daityon ko mohit kar diya aur devtaon ko amrit pila diya. Is prakar devtaon ko punah shakti prapt hui. Dhanteras ke din Bhagwan Dhanvantari ki vishesh pooja ki jaati hai. Maanyata hai ki is din Bhagwan Dhanvantari samudra manthan se prakat hue the. Is din log swasthya, aayu aur sukh-samriddhi ki kaamna se unki pooja karte hain. Ayurveda aur chikitsa se jude log Bhagwan Dhanvantari ko vishesh roop se poojte hain. Bhagwan Dhanvantari ki katha hume yeh shiksha deti hai ki swasthya hi sabse bada dhan hai. Sharir swasth ho to jeevan sukhmay banta hai. Isliye hume apne swasthya ka dhyan rakhna chahiye aur sanyamit jeevan jeena chahiye. Jai Bhagwan Dhanvantari.
