PART 2---THE EPIC TALE OF THE CREATION OF THE MILKY WAY IS RECREATED IN A MAGNIFICENT. LARGER THAN LIFE SCULPTURE IN THE ENTRANCE OF DEPARTURE HALL OF SUVANABHUMI AIRPORT IN BANGKOK

KEE@FSWMAG.COM
THE CHURNING OF THE OCEAN OF MILK THAT PRODUCED AMRITA THE ELIXIR OF IMMORTAL LIFE AND THE MILKY WAY, IS RETOLD IN A MAGNIFICENT SCULPTURE UPON ENTERING THE DEPARTURE AREA IMMEDIATELY AFTER IMMIGRATION SO THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN MISS ADMIRING THIS MONUMENTAL WORK OF ART.

ONLY IN AMAZING THAILAND CAN THE TALENTED ARTISTS CREATE SUCH AN AWESOME WORK OF RELIGIOUS ART THAT IS BOTH VISUALLY JAW-DROPPING AND EDUCATIONAL. SIGNAGES IN 6 LANGUAGES TELL THE TALE OF HOW THE DEMONS AND DEMI-GODS WERE FORCED INTO AN UNEASY AND STRESSFUL ALLIANCE TO PRODUCE AMRITA, THE NECTAR OF IMMORTAL LIFE.

THE ASURAS (DEMONS) AND DEWAS (DEMI-GODS) USED VASUKI THE SERPENT KING AS A CHURNING ROPE AND MOUNT MERU AS THE CHURNING POLE TO PULL, PUSH, TUG AND ROTATE THE MOUNTAIN FOR A 1,000 YEARS.

THE DEMONS INSISTED ON USING VASUKI'S HEAD THINKING THEY WOULD HAVE TEHE UPPER HAND. INSTEAD THE DEADLY FUMES EMANATING FROM VASUKI'S MOUTHS WEAKENED THEM.

THIS DEADLY POISON THREATENED TO DESTROY ALL LIFE IN THE  3 UNIVERSES BUT SIVA DRANK ALL THE POISON TO SAVE CREATION.

HIS CONSORT PARVATI, FEARING SIVA MIGHT PERISH, GRABBED HIS THROAT, THUS PREVENTING THE POISON FROM ENTERING HIS STOMACH. THE POISON THUS REMAINS STUCK IN SIVA'S THROAT TO THIS DAY, NEITHER IN OR OUT OF HIS MOUTH, HOWEVER, THE POISON TURNED HIS ENTIRE BODY BLUE WHICH IS WHY ALL PAINTINGS OF SIVA SHOW HIM IN THIS COLOUR.

MANY TREASURES WERE PRODUCED DURING THE CHURNING BUT FINALLY THE DIVINE DOCTOR APPEARED HOLDING THE POT CONTAINING AMRITA.

SHOULD THE ASURAS DRINK AMIRITA, THEY WOULD BE STRONGER THAN THE DEWAS AND EVEN THE GODS AND GODDESSES.

SO VISHNU TOOK THE FORM OF AN INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL WOMAN NAMED MOHINI TRICKED THE DEMONS BY POURING THEM WINE INSTEAD OF AMRITA WHILE DISTRIBUTING AMRITA TO THE DEWAS WHO QUICKLY CONSUMED THE ELIXIR OF LIFE.

IN THE MELEE, ONE OF THE DEMONS CALLED RAHU, SUSPECTING SOMETHING AMISS, DISGUISED HIMSELF AS A DEWA AND WAS GIVEN THE AMRITA.

SURYA THE SUN GOOD AND CHANDRA THE MOON GODDESS SAW THROUGH THE DECEPTION AND ALERTED VISHNU WHO SLICED OFF RAHU'S HEAD. BUT AS HE HAD DRANK THE POISON, HIS HEAD REMAINS IMMORTAL.

GAINING IMMORTAL STRENGTH, THE DEWAS DEFEATED THE DEMONS WHO FLED INTO THE NETHERWORLD AND THUS ENDED THE ALLIANCE BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL WHICH ENDURES TO THIS DAY. GOOD HAS TRIUMPHED BUT EVIL CONTINUES TO LURK!

VISHNU STANDS ATOP MOUNT MERU AS VASUKI THE SERPENT KING IS USED AS A CHURNING ROD TO CHURN THE PRIMORDIAL OCEAN OF MILK FOR A 1,000 YEARS TO PRODUCE AMRITA THE ELIXIR OF LIFE

THE DEMIGODS LOOK HUMAN

PERFECTLY FORMED AND HANDSOME, THE DEWAS ARE GOOD AND PURE

A DEWA

THE DEWAS AGREED TO HOLD THE TAIL OF THE SNAKE AND AVOIDED THE DEADLY FUMES THAT EMANATED FROM ITS MOUTHS!

THE DEWAS OR DEMI GODS HOLD THE SNAKE'S TAIL WHILE THE DEMONS HOLD THE SNAKE'S HEAD
