 Today, being 25th April, being Parshuram Jyanti, I have decided to share some knowledge about the same. This YouTube channel is basically free educational, informative and opinion-based channel. Hence, please feel free to subscribe to this channel. Parshuram Jyanti is observed to commemorate the birth anniversary of the 6th incarnation or avatar of Lord Vishnu in Hinduism. Parshuram is a Sanskrit expression signifying Rama with an X, born as a Brahmin. He had characteristics of a Shatriya and is viewed as a Brahmin warrior. He is also referred to as Rama, Jammadaganya, Rama, Bhargava and Vir of Rama in some Hindu texts. According to Hindu legends, Parshuram was born to a Brahmin sage and his birthplace is assumed to be on the top of Janapav Hills in Indore, Madhya Pradesh. On top of the hill is a Shiva temple where Parshuram is believed to have worshipped Lord Shiva. Parshuram's father had a divine cow, a holy cow called Surabhi. The king of that area named Kartavirya got entrusted to have that cow or possess that divine cow and he requested to have it. But Parshuram's father, saint father refused to give the cow. So the king took it by force. Parshuram learned about this offense and he with his X challenged the king to a battle. They fought a fierce battle and Parshuram eventually killed the king. According to Hindu scriptures, it is mentioned that the Parshuram was actually rebuked by his father for having killed the king because he felt that the Brahmin should never kill a king. So he asked him to redress his sins by going on a pilgrimage. Parshuram went on a pilgrimage and once he returned from the pilgrimage, he found that his father was killed by warriors who were seeking revenge for having killed the king. Parshuram had killed the king, as I mentioned. Parshuram again picked up his X and killed many warriors in retaliation. And then it is said that he relinquished his weapons and took up yoga. In the western India it is believed that Parshuram and Avatar of Mahavishnu threw his battle X into the sea as a result of which the land of western coast rose and thus was reclaimed from the waters. In present day known as Goa or Gomantak which is part of Konkan. In Devi Bhagavata Purana, he is born from the thigh with intense light surrounding him that blinds all the warriors who then repent for their evil deeds and promise to lead a moral life if their eyesight is restored. In Vishnu Purana, Emil is prepared with some ingredients if eaten would cause a woman to conceive a son with martial powers. The letter is accidentally eaten by Renuka and she then gives birth to Parshurama. In the Vayu Purana, Parshuram is born after his mother eats an offering made to both Rudra that is Shiva and Vishnu which gives him dual characteristics of a Shatriya and a Brahmin. Parshuram is described in some versions of the Mahabharata as the angry Brahmin who has an X and who has killed a number of Shatriya warriors because they were abusing their power and for their evil deeds. He plays important roles in the Mahabharata serving as a mentor to Bhishma, Drona and Karna teaching weaponry arts and helping key warriors in both sides of the war. Well whatever he is or maybe one thing is very clear that he is a voice against the evil. Thank you.
