“May the festival of Dhanteras lighten up new roads to success for you”.Dhanteras is an auspicious ceremony which is also known as Dhanatrayodashi, the first day that marks the festival of Diwali in India.Dhanteras is an amalgamation of Sanskrit words “dhan”, that stands for wealth, and “teras” that refers to the 13th lunar day of Krishnapaksha (dark fortnight) in the Hindu Calendar month of Ashvini.
Thiscelebration aims at increasing wealth and prosperity. Depending on the budget, those who celebrate Diwali use the occasion to buy jewellery, coins of gold or silver or household items made of iron, copper or brass. According to the Best Astrologer in India , the logic behind buying that something made of metal is the fact that it is considered the harbinger of good luck and is supposed to keep negative energy at bay.
This belief is said to have been originated from a legend according to which the God of Death, Yama, was enticed by the sight of gold.It is said that King Hima's 16-year-old son's death had been predicted on the fourth day of his marriage through a snake bite. However, as the new bride got to know about it, she placed a heap of her ornaments on the entrance of the room and kept her husband awake throughout the night by singing and narrating stories.
When Lord Yama visited King Hima's son in the guise of a snake, in order to bite him, he was blinded on seeing the dazzling metal, and instead sat on the pile listening to the new daughter-in-law's tales.Since Yama missed the time set for the boy's death, he slinked away in peace and the prince was saved, leading to the celebration of Dhanteras. That’s why there is also a tradition of lighting a lamp/Diya before Yama, the messenger of death. According to the beliefs, it is said that the devotees can avoid untimely death. With regard to the Shloka in Padma Purana,
“ कार्तिकस्यासितेपक्षेत्रयोदश्यांतुपावके।
यमदीपंबहिर्दद्यादपमृत्युर्विनश्यति।। “
Offering a lamp/Diya to the Yama, the messenger of death, on Trayodashi Tithi in Kartik month during Krishna Paksha helps the devotees avoid the fear of untimely death.
This is the very reason that the festival of Dhanteras holds high significance in Sanatan Dharma.
Puja Vidhi of Dhanteras
First of all, take a bath in the evening on Dhanteras and wear clean clothes.
Then, install the idols of Maa Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha along with Lord Dhanwantri and Lord Kuber in the north direction during the Shubh Muhurat.
After this, light a lamp/Diya before the idols, apply Tilak on them and offer flowers.
Offer any white colour sweets to please Lord Dhanwantari. Also, Lord Kuber is fond of yellow colour and therefore, offer yellow colour sweets to him.
Further, fix your thoughts on Lord Kuber and recite the Mantra ‘ ऊंह्रींकुबेरायनमः ’.
So, don't forget to welcome lady luck to your house by buying some metal and lights of diyas to discard any evil spirits that may be lurking in unseen corners.
