Dhanvantari-BhuVaraha-Hayagriva Seva: Strengthen Health, Protect Land from Disputes, Achieve Academic Success

The Vishesha Puja being planned on this auspicious Saturday seeks to invoke the blessings of three powerful incarnations of Bhagwan Vishnu: Dhanvantari, BhuVaraha, and Hayagriva. These divine manifestations bring distinct benefits that can lead to spiritual growth, health, prosperity, and overcoming life's obstacles. Let us delve deeper into their divine stories, the benefits they offer, and the sacred sevas associated with this puja.

1. Dhanvantari – The Divine Healer: Dhanvantari, an incarnation of Vishnu, is revered as the deity of health, wellness, and healing. According to Hindu scriptures, Shri Dhanvantari emerged from the churning of the ocean (Samudra Manthan) holding a pot of nectar that could grant immortality and cure all diseases. He is depicted with a pot of Amrita (nectar), symbolizing health, and is often invoked by those seeking relief from both physical and mental ailments.

Benefits of Worshipping Dhanvantari: 

• Relief from ailments and health-related issues, both physical and mental.
• Protection from life-threatening diseases.
• Blessings for the preservation of overall well-being.
• Aid in promoting longevity and vitality.

2. BhuVaraha – The Earth Rescuer: The second incarnation, BhuVaraha, is a divine boar form of Vishnu, who saved the Earth from the demon Hiranyaksha, who had submerged it into the cosmic ocean. Varaha, with his immense strength and valor, lifted the Earth from the ocean and restored balance to the world. His worship is linked to environmental protection and ensuring the safety and prosperity of the Earth.

Benefits of Worshipping BhuVaraha: 

• Protection for the Earth and nature from ecological imbalances.
• Victory in land-related disputes, ensuring peace and stability in one's property.

Detailed Seva Description

JyotirGamaya is organizing this Vishesha Seva on behalf of the sevakartas (participants). Conducted on an auspicious Saturday, this sacred puja is intended to bring prosperity, success, and health, while nurturing spiritual growth, harmony, and a deeper connection to the divine. By worshiping these three incarnations of Vishnu, devotees can unlock divine favour and experience a life filled with blessings. The puja incorporates several sacred sevas to seek divine blessings, ensuring that participants receive the maximum benefit from this auspicious occasion. The sevas include:

• Abhisheka (Holy Bathing Ritual): A ritual of anointing the deities with sacred substances like milk, honey, ghee, and water. This symbolic act purifies the mind, body, and soul, preparing the devotee for divine blessings.

• Ashtottararchana (108 Names Worship): Chanting of 108 sacred names of the deities is a significant part of the puja. It is believed that this recitation invokes the full power and grace of the deities, showering devotees with divine favor.
• Naivedya (Offering of Food): Delicious offerings of fruits, sweets, and other sacred food items are presented to the deities, symbolizing gratitude, and devotion. The offerings are then shared among the devotees as prasad (blessed food).
• Mangalarti (Divine Aarti): The puja concludes with the chanting of aarti to invoke the presence of the deities and express devotion. The light from the aarti lamps represents the removal of darkness and ignorance, illuminating the path of prosperity, health, and wisdom.
