SrimatE Raamaanujaaya Namaha ! SrimatE Nigamaanta Mahaa Desikaaya Namaha ! Srimate Sri Lakshminrisimha Divyapadukasevaka Srivan Satakopa Sri NarayanaYatindra Mahadesikaya namaha ! Dear Mr.Arvind Rangan , I agree with what Mr.Vasan Srirangachari has offered as an explanation . However ,I would like to add that in every Avatar , whether it is Mukya Avatar like Matsya, Koorma , Varaha , Narasimha etc ( 10 Avatars ) and Gowna Avatars such as Swaroopa Avesa Avatar ( Parasurama , Balarama etc) and Sakthi Avatar like Karthaveeryarjuna , Budha, Kapilar etc , Sriman Narayana has a specific purpose of establishing the righteousness , Dharma , sadhu samrakshanam and removing the evil. In this context Mohini Avatar was taken only to trick the Asuras and offer the Amrutham ( nectar) to Devas for their everlasting life . When Mahavishnu was churning the Thiruparkadal apart from Kamadenu , Mahalakshmi , so many things came out including the Amrutham and Asuras , who participated in the churning process wanted to have the Amrutham , all for themselves and offering to them would be detrimental to the universe. Hence God wanted to do some thing to divert their attention. Hence this Avatar. It is one of the specific Avatar lasting for a short duration only to help Devas. Adiyen - Ramanuja Dasan- G.Sampath.
