In the same lines listen to the story of Kurma Aavtar in www.bhagwatforchildren.in

It has a different twist to the same story of the Churning of the Milky Ocean

Day 1 - Dhanteras

This is associated with the story of ‘Samundra manthan’, Churning of the Milky Ocean. When the milky ocean was churned by the demons and devas, a lot of things came out of it. Lakhsmi ji and Dhanvantri both also came out of the same. 

Dhanteras, is associated with the coming of Dhanvantari - The God of medicine. 

Point to Ponder: 

This indicates the internal churning and shows us that we have the power within to heal ourselves form the illness and darkness in us. The major illness being ‘Kaam, Krodha, Moha, Lobha, Ahenkar etc.’
