Chanting the Dhanvantari Shloka has long been regarded as a sacred way to invoke the power of Lord Dhanvantari for healing and protection.
In Hinduism, Lord Dhanvantari is worshipped as a divine healer born from Samudra manthana for the welfare of all beings.
Recited by generations of devotees, ayurvedic practitioners and traditional healers, these Shlokas carry a great spiritual power and transform into sincere appeals for divine grace.
There are several Dhanvantari Slokas that seek the divine healer’s blessings for good health and overall prosperity. Some of these focus on offering salutations, while others explain the greatness of Lord Dhanvantari. Altogether, devotees recite them to worship the Lord, express gratitude, or request his divine blessings.
Devotees can also recite the Dhanvantari mantras along with these slokas to seek the divine blessings.
