Happy Dhanteras, the first day that marks the festival of Diwali. Happy Ayurveda Day!
Dhanvantari, the physician of Gods, is worshipped on the occasion of Dhanteras, who imparted the wisdom of Ayurveda. Ayurveda outlines a broader approach to health through four therapy pillars—medication, diet, lifestyle, and behavior/ethics.

Lakshmi Sahasranamam is a sacred Sanskrit text that consists of the 1,000 names of the Goddess Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth (both material and spiritual). By chanting or reciting these names, devotees are meditating on and praising the countless attributes, qualities, and forms of the Goddess. Below is a comprehensive
Maha Lakshmi Mantra.
Om Shreem Hreem Shreem Kamale Kamalalaye Praseed Praseed, Om Shreem Hreem Shreem Mahalakshmyai Namah.
Om Goddess Lakshmi, residing in the lotus, please be gracious to me. I bow to the great Goddess Mahalakshmi.
