Mohini – Only Female Avatar of Lord Vishnu

Before we start the story, I want to announce something. I am organizing WhatsApp workshop from 21^st to 28^th May, 2016 on 7 Chakra- Wheels of Life.

Now, in the last post, we learned about the churning of the ocean and Kurma avatar. The story is continued here. From the sea, 14 treasures were produced. I am going to mentioned them here as they are interesting part of this Churning. During this churning, first thing was came out was “Halahal” means the deadly poison. Everybody got scared and prayed to lord Shiva. The Lord Shiva came forward and gulped the poison. But he did not swallow it and Goddess Parvati stopped it with her hands in the throat so, it was stuck in the throat and it became blue and he was called Neel-Kantha.  After the poison, there were 14 Ratna as listed below.

§  Lakshmi, the Goddess of Fortune and Wealth and Went to Lord Vishnu as his wife

§  Kaustubha, the most valuable jewel or gem in the world worn by Lord Vishnu

§  Parijata, the divine flowering tree which never fades went to Indralok

§  Varuni, goddess and creator of intoxicating beverages (wine or alcohol) went to demons

§  Dhanvantari, the doctor of Angels

§  Chandra, the moon worn by Lord Shiva

§  Kamadhenu, the wish-granting divine cow taken by Lord Vishnu and given to sages for the milk to be used in Yagna

§  Kalpavriksha, the wish-granting tree

§  Airavata, the elephant of Indra

§  Apsaras, various divine nymphs like Rambha, Menaka, Punjikasthala

§  Uchhaishravas, the divine 7-headed horse given to demons

§  Sharanga, the bow of Vishnu

§  Shankha, Vishnu's conch

§  Amrita, the nectar of immortality

After this, at last, Dhanvantari, doctor of the angels came with the pot of the nectar of immortality. The demons took it forcefully from him and ran away. Due to this, all the angels went to Lord Vishnu and prayed him. They were worried if the demons would drink this and they would be immortal then the world will be destroyed. So, the Lord Vishnu took the Mohini incarnation in form of the very beautiful woman. This is the only incarnation of Lord Vishnu in form of damsel. She appeared in front of all the demons that were fighting for the elixir. While they were fighting 1 drop each fell down into Prayag, Haridwar, Ujjain and Nasik and because of that, Kumbhmela is held these places.

Because of her beauty, all the demons were mesmerized and she tricked by offering them to distribute among angels and demons in the fair manner. She started distributing, but she was only giving it to the angels. Rahu, one of the demons, understood the trick and sat in the line of the angels as an angel. Due to laminating nature of the Sun and the moon, they saw Rahu drank the elixir and they informed Mohini. She came back to Lord Vishnu avatar and with his Sudarshan Chakra cut the throat of Rahu before the elixir passed through the neck. But it was already passed so Rahu became 2. The head part is called Rahu and the tail part is called Ketu. They have very high significance in astrology.

Another explanation is given in the Vishnu Puran. There was a demon called Bhasmasura. Lord Shiva who is easily pleased gave a boon to this demon that whoever he touches on the head, turns into ashes. The demon wanted to test this boon on the Lord Shiva himself. So, he ran after Lord Shiva. Shiva got panicked and he went to Lord Vishnu for protection. Lord Vishnu took the form of Mohini and the demon totally mesmerized by her. He forgot about the Lord Shiva. He desired to marry Mohini. Mohini got agreed on the condition that the demon needs to follow her dance steps. In this competition between 2, Mohini put her hand on her head. The demon copied it and he too put his hand on his own head and he turned into ashes. Lord Shiva and Mohini got united after and they gave a birth to a child named Hariharaputra and left this child in a forest and returned to their heavens. And childless Kind Pandalam found this child and accepted as a boon.
