SRIKURMAMOn the banks of the Bay of Bengal is a kshetra called SriKurmam. Here the Lord is in the form of a salagramam. During the pralaya Brahma incarnated on a lotus of his own. He atonce began questioning the origin of this world and its creation. He came to a conclusion that He is the Creator of the entire universe. It was then that he saw a small tortoise playing in the pralaya waters. “ Who are you? “,He questioned. “Iam the Creator of this universe and and you too.’ Brahma was surprised “ How come I have four heads and you are so small. How is it that you proclaim yourself as the Creator. ?”. The Lord immediately said ‘ I have come in the form of a kurma, in order to play with you. Look atmy transcendental form. Immediately the Lord showed His Huge celestial form with thousands of eyes and hands. Brahma extolled the Lord who said to Him “ You are Nadaswaroopa and youir wife saraswathi is Vakswaroopa. You both pervade the whole world. Know that Iam the base for this entire world. I bear this entire universe on my back.” This is the reason why the world is stable. This Aadikurma murthy was worshipped by Swetharaja and Sulochana.
