Bhajan

Polygamy

It is said that Parashuram continued killing every Kshatriya in his path until there were no more warriors left on earth. 

To restore the Kshatriya clans, the widows married the only left out King Dasarath by Nari-kavacha, meaning 'one whose armor was made of women'. He survived by agreeing to marry them one each day. 

Parashurama had while taking pledge to destroy kshatriyas had restricted himself from killing freshly married couples.

Making Dead Alive


Many Rishis and Brahmins shunned Parshuram as they felt he was contaminated with blood and murder. Determined to pass on his knowledge of warfare to priests who could balance the power of kings, Parshuram went to crematorium and resurrected dead priests, who became his students.

Attributes of Sri Parashuram

‘Agratah chaturovedah prushthatah sasharam dhanuh I

Idam braahmam idam kshatram shaapadapi sharaasdapi II’

Meaning: Knows four veds by heart, means has full knowledge of them. Has arrows and bow on the back, means has valour; which also means has both, radiance of Brahma and of Kshatriya. Sri Parashuram will defeat anyone that opposes him, either by a curse or by shooting an arrow.

Test of Lord Shiva

Once, Deity Shiv challenged Sri Parashuram to a battle to test his skills in warfare. The spiritual master (Gurudev) Deity Shiv and the disciple Sri Parashuram were locked in a fierce battle. This dreadful duel lasted for twenty one days. While ducking to avoid being hit by the Trident (Trishul) of Deity Shiv, Sri Parashuram vigorously attacked Him with his Parashu. It struck Deity Shiv on the forehead creating a wound. Deity Shiv was very pleased to see the amazing warfare skills of His disciple. He passionately embraced Sri Parashuram. Deity Shiv preserved this wound as an ornament so that the reputation of His disciple remained imperishable and insurmountable. 'Khanda-parshu' (wounded by Parashu) is one of the thousand names (for the salutation) of Deity Shiv.

Period of Appearance

Sri Parashuram was born in the nineteenth Tretayug (in the transition period
between Treta and Dwapar Yug according to Mahabharat).

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.
