Publisher Description
After Sage Durvasa's curse leaves the Devas weakened and defeated, they seek the guidance of Lord Vishnu. His solution is both unexpected and extraordinary, to join forces with their greatest enemies. Using Mount Mandara as the churning rod and the serpent Vasuki as the rope, they begin the cosmic churning of the Ocean of Milk, an event that changes the fate of the universe.

What deeper spiritual meaning does the Samudra Manthana hold?

Perfect for readers interested in Hindu mythology, the Puranas, Lord Vishnu's avatars, the Samudra Manthana, and the timeless wisdom of ancient Indian scriptures.
