Guest guest Posted September 20, 1999 Report Share Posted September 20, 1999 69 Dhanvantari Lord Dhanvantari appeared twice: during the reigns of the sixth (Caksusa) and the seventh (present, Vaisvasvata) Manus. 70 During the reign of the sixth Manu, dark-complexioned, two-armed Lord Dhanvantari, the original teacher of the Ayur Veda, carrying pot of nectar in His two arms appeared from the churning of the milk ocean. During the reign of the seventh Manu, He appeared again, in the same form, as the prince of Varanasi. (Comment: Because Dhanvantari has appeared in our manu as well that is why the science of Ayurveda is not completely lost as yet. It is not mentioned exactly in which Catur-yuga of the seventh manu he appeared, so we don't exactly know he appeared how many years back as the prince of Varanasi. The present Kali-yuga is in the 28th Catur-yuga of the 7th Manu in 12 hours of Brahma) >From Laghu Bhagavatamrta by Srila Rupa Goswami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
