Curse from Durvasa MuniDurvasa Muni once cursed Lord

Indra because he haughtily threw a garland Durvasa gave him.

Durvasa cursed him that the devas would lose all their powers.

After seeing the devas in a weakened state, the Asuras attacked Devas and the Devas lost!

The Asuras then took over the Three Worlds (Bhu, Bhuvar & Svar).

Divine NectarAt that time, both Devas and

Asuras were also mortal. Amrit, the divine nectar that

would give immortality could only be obtained by churning the Ocean of Milk.

The devas and asuras both sought immortality and decided to churn the Ocean of Milk.

Churning of Milky OceanLord Vishnu incarnated as

Kurma, the tortoise, on whom was placed the Mantara mountain as a churning pole

And Vasuki, the great venom-spewing serpent, was wrapped around it and used to churn the ocean.

With the devas on one side and the asuras on the other, the Ocean of Milk was churned.

Goddess Lakshmi EmergedA host of divine celestial

objects came up during the churning.

Among these, importantly, was Goddess Lakshmi (Sanchala Lakshmi), the daughter of the king of the milky ocean.

Goddess Lakshmi went to Vaikuntha and lived with Lord Vishnu.
