Dhanvantari Jayanti 2023

On November 9, 2014, the Indian government founded the Ayush Ministry. Its objective is to facilitate access to holistic healing methods for the population and thus promote alternative healing systems (Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, Sowa Rigpa and Homeopathy).


Eight years ago, Ayurveda World Day was launched, being celebrated on the same day of Dhanvantari Jayanti. Under the leadership of PM Narenda Modi's government, the oldest and best documented medical system is promoted. Its holistic approach is a key in maintaining health as well as curing diseases.

Every year the Ayush Ministry gives a theme for the World Ayurveda Day. This year's theme is: Ayurveda for One Health.

In this short interview, Dr. Prathish G. gives us a brief insight into the correlations between three scientific branches of Ayurveda.

ॐ सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः
सर्वे सन्तु निरामयाः ।
सर्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु
मा कश्चिद्दुःखभाग्भवेत् ।
ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ॥

oṃ sarve bhavantu sukhinaḥ
sarve santu nirāmayāḥ
sarve bhadrāṇi paśyantu mā kaścidduḥ khabhāgbhaveta।
oṃ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ॥

May all sentient beings be at peace,
May no one suffer from illness,
May all see what is auspicious, may no one suffer.
Om peace, peace, peace.
