Dhanvantari is the physician of the gods and the father of Ayurveda — emerging from the churning of the cosmic ocean holding the pot of amrita, the nectar of immortality, and the secrets of healing.
"From the depths of the milky ocean he rose, and in his hands was the cure for death itself."
An avatar of Vishnu, Dhanvantari represents health, healing and the science of long life. A child named Dhanvantari carries compassion, wisdom and the gift of bringing wellness to others.
