In Thailand Hindu Dharma’s scripture incidents are prepared in Idol form by the Buddhist majority country but in Bharat, a Hindu majority country; Hindu Gods and Icons are denigrated by Hindus themselves!

In Bangkok, Thailand, there is a new international airport called Suvarna-Bhoomi. Very interesting to know that a country surrounded by other major religions has such a huge display of the scripture of Devi Bhagavat and Vishnu Puran.
As is well known – the majority of the population in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, etc., are not Hindus – but they have a culture of respecting their forefathers who were Hindus – and also the Hindu Sanatan Dharma which is unique and has no comparison.
Please see this beautiful exhibit – which is very meaningful and has a message for Society.
Can we imagine putting up this kind of thing in our Air Ports in India?
Of course not! There will be protests from so-called secularists, pseudo-secularists, and the "minorities"

The literal translation of the words ‘SamudraManthan’ means churning of the ocean.
Lord Indra is very revered within the Vedas, because the king of heavens, thunder, storms, river flows, lightning, rains, and war. Once Lord Indra was riding on his elephant Airavata and stumbled on Sage Durvasa. Lord Indra accepted the garland and placed it on the trunk of His elephant Airavata. The elephant threw the garland on the bottom. On witnessing this, SageDurvasa was angered because the garland wasn't a standard garland but it was the abode of Sri (fortune and riches). Outraged with this act and the advantages and significations of this pride, SageDurvasa cursed Lord Indra and everyone the opposite Gods that they'd lose all their powers and would be deprived of all their energies, fortunes, and strength.

Fight For Amrita, Creation of the century Kumbha Mela Spots On Earth to specify, Lord Vishnu’s the Ruling Deity Mohini Form and Story of Rahu Ketu:
Some drops of nectar fell in Prayagraj, Haridwar, Ujjain, and Nasik, where the ‘Kumbh Mela’ is celebrated every 12 years. Lord Vishnu disguised Himself as a gorgeous woman named Mohini, and distracted the asuras, and said that She would distribute the nectar equally between the gods and demons. Mohini started serving the gods with nectar first.
There was a witty asura named Rahu who disguised himself as deva and joined the road of the gods so as to receive the nectar. But the asura had already consumed some drops of the elixir which made his body(cut in two parts) immortal. From that day onwards the pinnacle of the asura was called Rahu and his body was called Ketu. By the time the remainder of the asuras realized that the beautiful maiden Mohini was actually Lord Vishnu, the nectar had been distributed to the devas.

Spiritual meaning of Samudra Manthan
In life, we are churned through different challenges and obstacles that we face. the last word's intention is to grasp our higher consciousness through learning through these so-called tests. Our physical self of improvement is personified by the Mandara the huge mountain and beautiful as well that was used because of the churning rod. The jewels that came out are our good qualities that are finally revealed and therefore the gifts we get once we successfully face the tests and the poison is the negativity that does set out and should be dissolved in the throat of wisdom by our Higher consciousness personified by Lord Shiva.
