Amrut Manthan 1
Amrut Manthan 1
They visited Brahma (Lord of Creation) who directed them to Vishnu (Lord of Protection)
Vishnu said they should churn the milk ocean to drink the Amruta
Vishnu said the Devas should invite the asuras to churn the milk ocean
Choose one bad quality that you need to transform, so you can find more energy and focus in
studies and life.
To churn the milk ocean, Vishnu asked the Devas to take the help of the asuras, use Mt. Meru
as pivot, and the snake Vasuki as rope
As the churning began, Vasuki suffered from the friction caused and started spewing venom
(poison)
The churning had to stop because Devas could not take the poison
Asuras did not mind the poison, so they let them near the head and continued churning
Lack of stability
The churning continued, but the mountain started sinking under its weight
There was no stability. Lord Vishnu transformed into a tortoise (Kurmavatara) and held the
mountain
