While I appreciate the greetings, I wish our leaders would also focus on practical measures to improve healthcare infrastructure. Lord Dhanvantari's teachings about health should translate into better medical facilities for all citizens.

The explanation about Dhanteras representing both Dharma and Artha is spot on. Our festivals have such deep philosophical meanings that often get lost in commercialization. Good to see this being highlighted.
