BUYING GOLD/SILVER ON DHANTERAS DAY
Dhanteras belongs to Dhanwantari Devata,?the eternal doctor of medicine, the god of ‘health’ and ‘Ayurveda’.?‘Dhanteras’ is the corrupt term for Dhanwantari Trayodashi. This is the day when Dhanwantari had emerged from the ocean of milk, carrying the pot of nectar or amrit.
Dhanwantari, the God of good health and medicine,
Trayodashi is the 13th day of the lunar cycle in the month of Kartik,
Shortened, it became Dhan-Teras, giving a different meaning. Thus a festival for a healthy life turned into a festival for accumulation of wealth.
This day we need to clean our houses, as cleaning will ensure healthy life style. Cleansing, renewal, and securing of auspiciousness in your health is all about this day. Lit an earthen dia entire night towards the south direction to please Yamraj to ?avert untimely death. Good health will always ensure long life, that’s the logic behind the entire thing.
But surprisingly you will find all the Jyotishi, Acharyas and Gurus have added Laxmi poojan to this day, for the same of financial growth. They divided one word into two,
?Dhan = wealth?and?
Teras?=13th day.
Neither Kuber was born on this day, nor Lakshmiji.
There is no spiritual meaning of buying Gold or metals on this day, this is just the way of targeting mass people for buying something.
People never looking at their health when doing rat race to make more money and to spend that money to buy lavish items like ornaments, vehicles etc to please their materialistic thoughts. If you are not healthy, if you cannot walk, cannot stand or cannot eat properly then what’s the use of your gold and cash money?
To me, it is a hype from business community, so they can sell their costly items to the middle class who are ready to spend the money, they just get 'bonus' from their company after one year of waiting!
Now who is gaining ?wealth this day? The middle class or the business man?
India has recently overtaken China in becoming the largest importer of gold on the earth.?Indians?should?keep buying up gold as they have always been. Listen to your mother and grandmother, not to the JP Morgan analyst. LoL!
But do not spread the misconception of buying gold and metals in the name of Danwantari
