Spiritual Significance of Dhanteras
The origins of Dhanteras are as such: it is derived from “Dhan” (wealth) and “Teras” (the 13th day of the lunar month). It is said that Lord Dhanvantari, who is a divine physician, emerged from the ocean of milk during Samudra Manthan on Dhanteras with the pot of Amrit (the elixir of immortality). The day, hence is heralded as the birthday of Ayurveda and is a massive reminder and caveat that the greatest wealth is good health and prosperity.
On Dhanteras evening, lighting diyas for Yamraj (the God of Death), or Yam Deep Daan, is believed to ward off negativity and evil from the home, bringing longevity and protection to the family.
