The Sri Dhanwantari Mandir is situated in the heart of Coimbatore City in the Arya Vaidya Pharmacy Campus with the unique honour of being one of the rare temples devoted to Lord Dhanwantari in the whole world.



Lord Dhanwantari is the Upasanamoorthy (Presiding Deity) of Vaidyas of Ayurveda and this temple gives a spiritual background to the Ayurvedic Tradition of Treatment in the Arya Vaidya Chikitsalayam located in the campus.



Constructed as per Vaasthu Sasthra the Dhanwantari Temple has Lord Dhanwantari, the God of Life & Medicine as the main deity as well as other sub-deities adorning the power loci of the temple, with a majestic Dhwaja-Stampha or flag-staff. All the deities of this temple have been sanctified therein by famous Tantris and Namboodris from important temples from the adjacent state of Kerala.



The sanctity of the temple is made more powerful  by the installation of the sub-deities which surround the glory of the main deity of Lord Dhanwantari. Even though the temple was started to provide religious solace and a serene atmosphere to those under treatment at the Chikitsalayam  in course of time  it has become renowned accepting and blessing pilgrims from all over the world.



Lord Dhanwantari is the Adhishtana Devata of Ayurveda  the ancient science of Life and is considered to be an Avatar of Maha Vishnu. He is also a great surgeon who taught Ayurvedic Surgery to Susrutha the Father of Ayurvedic Surgery.



You pray to Him for your good Health with:



Achutaananda Govinda Vaishno Narayane Hari/

Rogaan May Nasisaya Aseshaan Aasu Dhanwantari Hare//



Meaning: O Lord Achyutaananda! Govinda! Vishnu! Narayana! Hari!/

Dhanwantari! cure my diseases completely and quickly//



According to legends when the Devas and Asuras were churning the Ocean of Milk with the Mandara Mountain as the churning rod and Vasuki the great serpent, as the rope with Vishnu taking the Kurma Avatar to support  mount Mandara, Lord Dhanwantari rose from the Ocean of Milk with the pot of Amrit in one hand. He was Maha Vishnu incarnate and had the Divine Sri Chakra, Sankh, and Jaluka (blood sucking leech which cures one of impure blood).



When the Asuras snatched the pot of Elixir for youthful life from the Devas Maha Vishnu took the Mohini Avatar to entice the Demons away from the Ambrosia and ultimately it was consumed by the Devas.



If one has absolute belief in Lord Dhanwantari that HE can cure the Illness and Maladies of suffering persons then and THEN only would one be cured of it. There are instances of miraculous cures effected by this Benign Physician.



From where ever you are you may place your implicit faith in HIM and pray as follows: 11 times, 51 times or 108 times, both in the morning and evenings at dusk, and you will be benefitted.



OM NAMO BHAGAVATHE VASUDEVAAYA

DHANWANTHARAYE AMRITHAKALASA HASTHAAYA

SARVAMAYA VINAASANAAYA

THRYLOKYANAATHAAYA SREE MAHAVISHNAVE NAMA



Om, salutations to you Lord Vasudeva, Dhanwantari,

who has the pot of nectar in his hand,

who is the destroyer of all illnesses,

who is the Lord of the Three Worlds!

Salutations to Sri Maha Vishnu!



In the Temple he gives darshan to you with the Chakra, Sankh, Jaluka and the Amrita Kalasa in his four hands; He has a crown of beautiful soft pure white cloth, his eyes are like lotus petals, his brilliant dusky colour resembles the dark clouds, HE is adorned with splendid yellow silk and HE is capable and cares to destroy all diseases like a forest fire.



EPILOGUE:



The traditional lamp (Kuthu Vilakku) is considered to be  THE symbol of the Goddess. The base(Padam) of the Vilakku is Brahma, the stalk(Thandu) is Vishnu, and the part where oil is filled(Ilai with the Narayam) is Siva. The 'ridges' for the 'Thiri' (wick) has the divine presence of Ganesha, Muruga, Sree Rama, Sree Krishna and Devi. Thus the Vilakku is all Divinity with the whole spiritual universe contained in it.



The Dhanwantari Temple is also a Vilakku in that it is sacred and auspicious: lending spiritual light to devotees and has all  the Divinity in its little universe. Just as the Vilakku emanates light to the entire world, the glory of the Dhanwantari Mandir in the green and blessed premises of Arya Vaidya Chikitsalayam, Coimbatore, is spread to the world telling wonderful tales of Auspiciousness and Divine Happenings and Happiness.



I visited this temple and was captivated by its serene atmosphere and Sannithiyam. VP.
