After Durvasa Curse , Devta being weakened by their battles with the Asuras, the Devas sought Shri Vishnu’s guidance. Shri Vishnu suggested the churning of the ocean of milk (Kshira Sagar) to obtain Amrita, the nectar of immortality, which would restore their power.
However, this task was enormous and required collaboration with the Asuras, who were equally strong. Vishnu advised the Devas to form a temporary alliance with the Asuras, promising to share the Amrita. The Devas, led by Indra, approached the Asuras, who agreed to the proposal,
The first task was to find a suitable churning rod. Mount Mandara, a golden mountain of immense size and splendor, was chosen. However , However, Mandara was a sentient mountain and refused to move, fearing destruction. To convince Mandara, Shri Vishnu himself appeared and
However, Mandara enormous weight made it impossible for the Devas and Asuras to move. They prayed to Shri Vishnu for assistance. Shri Vishnu, riding his divine eagle Garuda, lifted Mount Mandara effortlessly and brought it to the ocean.
Next, the churning rope was needed. The Devas approached Vasuki, the king of serpents and a devotee of Lord Shiva. However, Vasuki refused to become a churning rod but vasuki was ultimately convinced by Shri Vishnu’s assurance of safety and glory
The Asuras insisted on holding Vasuki’s head, considering it a position of power, while the Devas agreed to take the tail. Unbeknownst to the Asuras, Shri Vishnu ensured that the Vasuki head would emit poisonous fumes during the churning, weakening the Asuras.
The Devas and Asuras wrapped Vasuki around Mount Mandara and began pulling alternately, causing the mountain to spin and churn the ocean. However, the mountain soon began sinking into the ocean due to its immense weight.
The Devas and Asuras were dismayed prayed shri vishnu to help them again in churning of ocean (Samudra Manthan) To help devas & asuras in this process the Shri Hari took the form of Kurma a giant tortoise, )which is 2nd avtar of shri hari in dashavatar,)and supported the mountain
