The
Danvantri Jayanthi Festival will be held at the Sri Danvantri Arogya Peedam, Walajapet,
on October 21 and 22 for the 10th year, Peedam founder kayilai Gnanaguru Dr Sri
Muralidhara Swamigal has announced.
Lord
Mahavishnu took the Danvantri avatar two days before Deepavali on Aipasi
trayodasi day. This day is traditionally celebrated as Danvantri Jayanthi. Some
celebrate Danvantri Jayanthi as Aipasi hastha star or Aipasi swathi star.
He is
regarded as the one who introduced Ayurveda medicine to the world. This
Danvantri avatar showed to the people that God came to them as a doctor and as
medicine to heal them. It was to demonstrate this that Sri Muralidhara Swamigal
set up the Peedam here to provide a healing touch to the problems of the people
and invoke the blessings of Lord Danvantri to get good health, wealth and
longevity, and seek solution to all problems.
On Wednesday,
October 22, 2014, Danvantri Jayanthi will be celebrated at the Peedam. Sri
Muralidhara Swamigal will present to the devotees Lehiyam specially prepared at
the Peedam on October 21.
On October 22,
Lord Danvantri will appear before the people in traditional dress of a doctor
with coat and stethescope and so on. Devotees are urged to visit the Peedam and
take part in the Danvantri Jayanthi celebrations and receive the blessings of
Lord Danvantri and Sri Muralidhara Swamigal.
