Description :
Kurma was the second Avatar of Vishnu ,occurred in Satya yuga.
Purana scripture indicates that the sage
Durvasa had given a garland to Indra, the king of Gods. Indra placed
the garland around his elephant, but the animal trampled it, insulting
the sage. Durvasa then cursed the gods to lose their immortality,
strength, and divine powers. After losing the kingdom of heaven, they
approached Vishnu for help.
He advised that they drink the nectar of
immortality to regain their glory. To obtain it, they needed to churn
the ocean of milk, a body of water so large they needed Mount Mandara as
the churning staff, and the serpent Vasuki as the churning rope. The
Devas were not strong enough to churn on their own, and declared peace
with their foes, the Asuras, to enlist their help.
Finally, Mount Mandara churned, but the
force was so great the mountain began to sink into the ocean of milk.
Taking the form of the turtle Kurma by lord vishnu , Vishnu bore the
mountain on his back as they churned the waters. Fourteen precious
things arose from the turbulent ocean, culminating with Dhanvantari, the
physician of the gods, who brought with him the nectar of immortality.
The Asuras immediately took the nectar,
and quarreled amongst themselves. Vishnu then manifested himself as the
beautiful Mohini and tricked the Asuras to retrieve the potion, which he
then distributed to the Devas. Though the Asuras realize the trick, it
was too late the Devas had regained their powers, and were then able to
defeat their foes.
