Divine Fests

Today is an auspicious day in the Hindu Calender. It was on his day that Shree Mahaa Vishnu appeared as Lord Dhanvanthri during the Divine Churning of the Ocean. Lord Dhanvanthri is worshipped  as Lord of Health and medicines. More recently Lord Balaram was born on this day as elder brother of Lord Shree Krishna on this day in Dwaapara Yugam. In the previous Trethaa Yugam, he was born as Lakshmanaa, younger brother of Lord Shree Raamaa.
