Green Jade – Sri Koorma

Sri Green Jade Sri Koorma

In Sanātana Dharma, the Divine is invoked not only in temples but also through sacred forms (murthis) that devotees lovingly install on their personal altars. When these murthis are sculpted in gemstones or metals, they radiate the combined energy of the deity’s blessings and the natural vibration of the material itself.

Spiritual Significance

The Koorma avatara of Lord Vishnu represents stability, endurance, and the foundation of spiritual life. Just as the tortoise supports its shell, the Divine Koorma supports the devotee’s spiritual journey with patience and resilience.

Sanskrit verse: “Koormo dharati medini” — The Divine Tortoise upholds the earth itself.

Importance of Green Jade – Green jade magnifies Koorma’s stabilizing energy, bringing calmness, healing, and resilience. It absorbs negativity and radiates balance, making it a powerful altar murthi. Green Jade Sri Koorma → Stability, grounding, perseverance, protection.

Benefits & Spiritual Upliftment

Guidelines for Altar Placement

• Place the murthi on a clean, elevated altar, ideally on a copper or brass plate.
• Offer daily light (deepam), incense, and flowers.
• Recite mantras:  Sri Koorma → “Om Kurmaya Namah”
• Meditate daily in front of the murthi, visualizing its radiance filling the home.
• Keep the altar space free from clutter, maintaining sacredness.

Amma Sri Karunamayi often reminds us: “The Divine Mother resides wherever She is invoked with love. When you keep Her murthi in your home, it becomes a temple. When you keep Her in your heart, you become the temple.”
