💰BUYING GOLD ON DHANTERAS💰

Dhanteras belongs to Dhanwantari Devata, the eternal doctor of medicine, the god of ‘health’ and ‘Ayurveda’. ‘Dhanteras’ is the corrupt term for Dhanwantari Trayodashi. This is the day when Dhanwantari had emerged from the ocean of milk, carrying the pot of nectar or amrit.

Dhanwantari, the God of good health and medicine,

Trayodashi is the 13th day of the lunar cycle in the month of Kartik,

Shortened, it became Dhan-Teras, giving a different meaning. Thus a festival for a healthy life turned into a festival for accumulation of wealth.😐

This day we need to clean our houses, as cleaning will ensure healthy life style. Cleansing, renewal, and securing of auspiciousness in your health is all about this day. Lit an earthen dia entire night towards the south direction to please Yamraj to avert untimely death. Good health will always ensure long life, that’s the logic behind the entire thing.

But surprisingly you will find all the Jyotishi, Acharyas and Gurus have added Laxmi poojan to this day, for the same of financial growth. They divided one word into two,

Dhan = wealth and

Teras =13th day.

Neither Kuber was born on this day, nor Lakshmiji.

There is no spiritual meaning of buying Gold or metals on this day, this is just the way of targeting mass people for buying something. At least if some one is buying health insurance on this day would make some sense rather grabbing kitchen utensils and gold.
