Ashvamedha sacrifice
Conducted the Ashvamedha sacrifice, done only by sovereign Kings and gave the entire earth He owned to priests who performed the sacrifice (Yadnya).
Father of Martial Arts
He created a temple of worship right after He resurfaced Kerala from the sea. He placed statues of various Deities in 108 different places and introduced martial arts to protect the temple from the evil.
Kalki Purana
Kalki Purana states Parshuram will be the martial guru of Sri Kalki, the 10th and final Incarnation of Lord Vishnu. It is He who instructs Kalki to perform a long penance unto Shiva to receive celestial weaponry.
Eternal Avatar
Lord Parshuram is the Eternal Avatar . References to His activities can be traced back to the time of the epic of Ramayana, the times of Avatar, Lord Rama. Lord Parshuram blessed Lord Rama when He came to ask for His blessings to maintain the Guru tradition on the planet. Several millennia after Lord Rama was the Avatar, Lord Krishna (who gave Bhagavadgeeta), i.e. about five thousand years ago. The epic of Mahabharata mentions appearances of Lord Parshuram and states that He blessed Lord Krishna to maintain the Guru tradition. Lord Rama and Lord Krishna left to their abodes. However, Lord Parshuram, the Eternal Avatar, appears again and again when the planet is in great danger. His work which is also eternal, is to reset the harmony cycle of the planets. He is said to move in the numberless billions of solar systems wherever the need arises.
Biographical accounts of Buddha’s life state that He went to a place called ‘Bhargava Ashram’ after leaving His palace. Bhargava means Parshuram.
Lord Parshuram is also known as Lord of Yajnya, Lord who grants prosperity, and Lord of knowledge. According to ancient Himalayan tradition of knowledge, Lord Parshuram was the first to introduce inter-planetary weapons on this planet in ancient days, when the planet needed protection from catastrophes caused by the greed and pride of the ruling powers.
