In Indian spirituality Tortoise/Turtle is symbol of Yoga because it is about self-preservation.
यदा संहरते चायं कूर्मोऽङ्गानीव सर्वश: |
इन्द्रियाणीन्द्रियार्थेभ्यस्तस्य प्रज्ञा प्रतिष्ठिता || 58||
One who becomes like Tortoise is established in divine wisdom-Bhagavad Gita
A baniya’s self-preservation instinct so strong that he saves little bit shit also and gets gastric problem in stomach or many other disease of stomach. Similar things also happen to spiritualists but elsewhere, sometimes madness.
Whenever I will get time will be coming to this article, for time being watch these colorful turtles and imagine them as little Vishnu.
