I'm absolutely obsessed with how mythology portrays parent-child relationships, especially when at least one divine party is involved. I've talked about Karna and Arjuna's relationship with their fathers, and how it might tie up to their characters and situations, and the Mahabharata as a whole, but they're not the only ones! Speaking exclusively about father-son dynamics in this post, and we have a lot of them!
You have Yudhisthira, whose father Yama/Dharma shows up in his son's mortal life twice (iirc), gives him a 20 min quiz each time and then tells him that no son, we don't allow dogs in heaven (which, how dare, but we all have that one parent). This is so in line with Yudhisthira's arc, poor man that he is, having to spend his whole life finding answers to questions about righteousness and honour, losing his friends, brothers, wife and children in the process.
Rama-Dasharatha and Ganesha-Shiva are pretty straightforward - there's plenty of mutual love and respect despite the horrors ™️ , but then there is Rama and Luv-Kush. If you're counting the Uttar Kand, then these boys literally saw their mother die because there father could not stop questioning her honour. That has to mess with your head. There's no way it's a happily ever after story.
Another man who interests me greatly is Yayati. Like sir... what were you doing. Who grows old and thinks, "You know what would be great? Me borrowing my son's youth" and then curses them when they refuse? What were you thinking. What were your kids thinking. I need to take your heads apart with a scalpel, this is so incredibly insane. A father should give to his children - the only thing this man "gave" was to spare Puru from his curse.
You have Bhishma and Shantanu, another wild story. I understand that Bhishma chose to give up his birthright to make Shantanu happy, but can you actually tell me Shantanu wasn't at least somewhat interested in the plan? Shantanu is Bhishma's father, it's his job to stop him from doing things like this. I feel like pulling my hair out everytime I think of this. You can tell that Bhishma was afraid for his father's well-being when he made this decision, and that so... unfair.
On the other end of the spectrum are Krishna and Vasudeva, who are wholesome to the point of despair. Vasudeva giving up his everything just to get his boy out of prison?? Waiting years and years for him, but never lamenting or cursing Krishna for not coming fast enough??? That's peak fatherhood (Shantanu take lessons). And Krishna honours that sacrifice!! He comes from idyllic Vrindavan, slays the tormentor of his parents and rips the bars of their prison!!! And that old married couple trapped within those dank, dreary walls, with no one except the other for company, watches their godly son turn up to free them and show them the sky for the first time in more than a decade - the thought of it brings me to tears. Possibly the only part I like about the change from baby!Krishna to adult!Krishna is his reunion with Vasudeva and Devaki!
Oh, and last but not least, our favourite problematic pair: Jamadagni and sons. I'm slightly terrified by how Jamadagni was like "kill your mother for me she's sinful >:(" and when four sons refused, he actually killed them. HIS OWN SONS! Admittedly, in some versions he asks Parashuram to do the killing but like... those are his brothers. Who probably swaddled him and rocked him and fed him and played with him. And all this is presumably happening right in front of Renuka. And then Parashuram has to kill his mother as well, unless he wants to be a heap of ashes.
(In some versions, including the one I've always heard as a child, Parashuram is said to be "aware of" his father's immense power, which just seems to me a really polite way to say that Parashuram knew disobeying his father had consequences ™️ that weren't always right or rational)
Worse, after the killing is done, Jamadagni is so pleased he offers Parashuram a boon, presumably with the remains of the rest of his family still nearby, and when Parashuram asks for his mother and brother to be revived, Jamadagni is all like "ooh actually I got really angry, I think I'm going to renounce rage forever. Dw btw your brothers and mother forgot you killed them you're welcome <3"
Sir??? This is what you got out of the whole issue???? No wonder Parashuram killed a whole bunch of kings, this couldn't have been healthy.
#the best part is that literally all of these fathers are around even today#yama is the father whose exacting nature drives you to ruin#dasharatha and shiva are father's who make wrong decisions but their love withstands their follies#whether or not they make it right#shiva is always THE father though#dasharatha is... human. poorly so.#rama is the father whom your mother forsakes. you bear his presence. you accept his love. it makes you feel guilty#as if you're betraying your kind and gentle mother. but she isn't there. so you take what you can#clinging to the last remnants of warmth. you cannot be left alone.#yayati is the father who takes everything except a 'no'#and when you refuse#he will curse you and loathe you and name you selfish#and give everything to whoever curries his favour the most - a father of syncophants#(and as an added flavour he will blame your mother for it because why not)#shantanu is the father who takes advantage - of your grief your loss your fears and your immaturity#vasudeva is the father who tries: “yes i am far away. but i am with you. always and forever”#and jamadagni is a case of his own - a spectre of rage dressed as an authority and guardian#fatherhood#father son relationship#rama#yudhisthira#yudhisthir#parashurama#jamadagni#yama#hindublr#hindu mythology#ramayana#mahabharata#mahabharat

In Hindu culture, the term gotra (Sanskrit: गोत्र) is considered to be equivalent to lineage. It broadly refers to people who are descendants in an unbroken male line from a common male ancestor or patriline. Generally, the gotra forms an exogamous unit, with marriage within the same gotra being regarded as incest and prohibited by custom.
According to the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 2.2.4, Kashyapa, Atri, Vasistha, Vishvamitra, Gautama Maharishi, Jamadagni and Bharadvaja are seven sages (also known as saptarishi) and Jambu Maharishi is another sage (also known as Renuka, who belongs to Kashyapa). The progeny of these eight sages are declared to be gotras. This enumeration of seven primary & one secondary gotra seems to have been known to Pāṇini. The offspring (apatya) of these seven are gotras and others than these are called gotrāvayava.

His teacher was lord shiva himself , parashuram was devotee of shiva and student of shiva , he was son of rishi jamadagni , his mother was princess renuka , he had enemity with kartavirya arjuna because he stole kamadhenu from rishi jamadagni’s ashram for selfish reasons. Parashuram had siblings named vasu , viswavasu , brihudyanu , and brutwakanwa , they were descendants of brighu maharshi , that is why they are from bhargava vamsha (clan). In ramayana it is mentioned that parashurama gave the sharanga (kodanda) bow to lord rama and he recognized that rama was vishnu himself , after giving bow to sri rama , he went to mahendra giri and meditated there.

Why Is Kuldaivat Tak Significant? Discover Its Types and Their Roles
Kuldaivat or Kuladevata, Kulaswami or Kulaswamini refers to the specific deity worshiped by a particular family lineage, following a tradition that has been passed down through generations. This specific deity is regarded as the family deity or Kuladevata of that household. Just as each village has its own Gramadevata or village deity, every family lineage has a specific Kuladevata. The family worships this deity on all auspicious occasions, and there is a tradition of offering “Mahanivedya” (a grand offering) to the family deity on certain designated days. This practice is referred to as “Kuladharma.”
In Hinduism, it is a tradition to begin any auspicious event by first worshipping Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles. After that, we remember our family deity (Kuldaivat) and perform their worship through the sixteen-step ritual (Shodashopachara). We then express our desires and wishes in front of them.
Kuldaivat refers to the deity that protects the family lineage, or Kuladevata. The traditional knowledge about these family deities has been passed down from our ancestors and will continue to do so for generations. Naturally, one may wonder about the origin of the Kuldaivat — when and how it originated. If we carefully examine our lineage (Kula) and clan (Gotra), we find that our ancestors were likely sages (Rishis). Our Kula and Gotra are named after these sages. For example, Koundinya, Jamadagni, Vashishta, Makadeya, Bharadwaj, Agastya, Pulastya, Vibhāndik, Parāshar, Kashyapa, and so on. These sages used to reside in forests, in their respective ashrams.
Although the sages considered the five elements (Panchamahabhutas) as forms of God, they also worshiped certain deities as invisible powers. Over time, these deities came to be regarded as the family deities (Kuldaivat) of specific lineages. To bring these deities into a tangible form, they began carving idols in pentagonal stones, which they would then worship. Gradually, these stone-carved idols were consecrated (Pranpratishtha) in temples. Meanwhile, in home shrines, the deities were represented through metal idols for daily worship.
Along with the creation of idols, the tradition of building shrines or sanctuaries (Tak) for the family deities (Kuldaivat) also began. These shrines were typically pentagonal in shape, though their sizes varied based on individual customs and were installed in home temples. Each family has its own distinct Kuldaivat or Kuladevata. For instance, deities like Malhari Martand (Khandoba) or Bhairoba are considered the Kuldaivat of the four varnas. Khandoba is especially revered as a family deity across various social classes, including Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and others.
Bhairoba or Bhairavnath is also considered an incarnation of Lord Shiva. He is known by many names, such as Bhairoba, Bhairudev, and Bhairi Bhavani. In this context, “Bhairi” refers to Shiva (Shankar), and “Bhavani” refers to Goddess Bhavani of Tuljapur. This represents the union of the family deity (Kuldaivat) and the family goddess (Kulaswamini). In addition to this, some families also have shrines (Tak) dedicated to their village deity (Gramadevata), protector deity (Rakshak), and ancestral forefathers (Mul Purush).

"JYOTIBA TEMPLE: A LOOK INTO THE GREAT TEMPLE OF KOHLAPUR"
Snuggled in the heart of the Kolhapur district of Maharashtra, the Jyotiba Temple is one of the major holy sites of Hinduism. The Temple stands towering and divine near the Wadi Ratnagiri in the Kolhapur district of Maharashtra in western India. The temple is visited by many Hindu worshippers and is believed to be among the oldest temples of India.
History of the temple:
The deity of the temple is believed by the locals of Kolhapur to be an incarnation of three gods: Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesha, and Jamadagni. A magnificent yearly fair also takes place in the Hindu months of Chaitra and Vaishakha. Jyotiba temple towers at a height of 3124 feet. The temple is 18 km northwest of Kolhapur. As per the tradition, the first Kedareshwar sanctuary was built by Navji Saya. In 1730, Ranoji Shinde built the current sanctuary in its place. This altar is 57 ft x 37 ft x 77 ft high including the tower. This temple was built by Daulatrao Shinde in 1808. The inside of the temple is antiquated. There are other few sanctuaries and Light-towers on the premises.
Significance of the temple:
Legend says that the three gods appeared as Jyotiba to obliterate the abhorrent Ratnasur. Jyotiba assisted Mahalakshmi in her battle with the demons. He established his realm on this mountain and belongs to Nath sampradaya. On Chaitra Shukla sixth, he was given birth by Vimalmbuja, the spouse of the sage Pougand. Lord Jyotiba is the manifestation that obliterated Raktabhoj Rakshasa, and Ratnasur Rakshasa consequently freeing the locale from its oppression. The idol seated in the temple is four-armed. On Chaitra Poornima of the Hindu calendar, a massive fair is held, when lacs of Hindu devotees accompany tall (Sasan) sticks. The mountain is covered in pink because of "Gulal '' which is played by the people in the fest. Sunday is a day committed to Jyotiba, there is a constant flood of devotees on the day.
How to reach: The best timing to visit Jyotiba Temple is from 5 AM to 10:30 PM.
By Air - The temple is accessible from the Kolhapur district and to reach Kolhapur district you can take a flight to Kolhapur and the temple is just 31kms from there.
By Train - The Kolhapur railway station is only 21 km from the temple
By Road - The temple is around 21 km by bus route.
Things to do:
When you are visiting Jyotiba Temple, you can also plan a visit to the Dajipur Wildlife sanctuary, and have the pleasure of the jungle safari, and get to experience the great adventures amidst the natural beauty of the jungle.
You can also capture the rich history of Panhalagad in a trek across the towering ranges of Sahyadri. Thrill-seekers also get to experience bungee jumping when in Kolhapur.
Conclusion:
All in all, the Jyotiba Temple is one of the greatest shrines of India. Its rich history adds up to the ever-beautiful structure of the shrine. The temple holds a position of devotion among the locals and is seated in the heart of Kolhapur, a city that itself has so much to offer.

The Untold Story of a Chiranjeevi
During the starting years of Treta Yuga, In the hills of Janapav (Indore, M.P) Saptrishi and Maharishi Jamadagni lived with his wife Renuka. Both were blessed with a son named Rama Jamadagnya or Veerrama. Maharishi Jamadagni is also one of the Saptrishi (Saptrishi are those rishis who had knowledge of Vedas and Puran. And passing on that knowledge is their duty).
One day the king of Haihayas kingdom Mahismati is the capital of the kingdom. The name of the King is Kartavirya Arjuna went out hunting and he went to the hills of Janapav. There he saw the hut of Maharishi Jamadagni and asked Maharishi, that he was the king and wanted to rest in Maharishi's hut for a while. Maharishi agreed and allowed him in his hut. While resting King Kartavirya Arjun saw Maharishi's cow and he was attracted by that cow. He thinks that this beautiful cow doesn't deserve to be in this hut.
One day the king cheated and stole the cow from the hut and brought the cow to his Palace. Maharishi is in grief. He told the Kamadhenu had been stolen by the king and we could not fight with the King. But Rama Jamadagnya (Maharishi's son) promises to his father that he will bring Kamadhenu back.
Rama Jamadagnya went to the king's palace and asked for his cow back. King says that he will give the cow back if Rama Jamadagnya defeats the king. Both King and Rama fought for a very long period and in the end Rama Jamadagnya won. he took his cow back.
After being defeated by a Brahman, Kshatriya King Kartavirya feels ashamed and decides to kill the whole family. King went to their hut and Maharishi was in deep meditation Kartavirya Arjun cut the head of Maharishi from his body. When Rama Jamadagnya came to know about it he decided to kill the whole clan of Kartavirya Arjuna.
Rama Jamadagnya is devoted to Lord Shiva and Lord Shiva already blessed him with an axe. It is believed that Kartavirya Arjun Had 1000 hands that's why it is not easy to kill him. Rama Jamadagnya and Kartavirya Arjun Came into war. Rama first cut his all hands and then cut his head with that axe. After that, Rama killed all the sons of the King and won the Haihayas Kingdom.
With his skills and Power with an axe, He is known as Parshurama (Rama with an Axe = parshu in hindi). But Rishi Parshurama realized that Brahman is treated very badly by the Kshatriya king and the King are very rude towards innocent peoples. He adapted the grief of society and the establishment of Dharma in society became the pledge of his life. He decides that he will clean society 21 times by the blood of Adharmi Kshatriya.
Rishi Parshurama is the only Rishi who knows how to play any weapon. He has the knowledge of the warfare and the celestial weapons. He meditated and devoted himself to Lord Shiva and When Lord Shiva was Happy with his devotion he blessed Rishi Parshurama with Pinnaka (celestial Bow). With Bow and axe, He moves forward to his pledge and Clears society 21 times with the adharmic Kshatriya King. But Rishi forgot that he had completed his pledge and now he has to stop. At that time Lord Hanuman came and realized to Rishi that now he had to stop. After that Rishi Parshurama is known as Lord Parshurama (the sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu).
After completing his pledge Lord Parshurama gave Pinnaka to King Janak and told him that the one who could hold this bow and tie the thread of this bow was the one capable of marrying your daughter. After doing the same Lord Parshurama went to Mahendra Mountain (In Gajapati, Odisha ) and himself in the meditation.
And when Lord Rama broke the Pinnaka Lord Parshurama came back and asked for the war. Lord Parshurama said, "It is a celestial bow how dare you break the bow". Lord Parshurama and Lord Rama are ready for the war. But Maharishi Vishvamitra told to Lord Parshurama that Lord Rama was the Incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Then Lord Parshurama realized and went back to Mahendra Mountain. Actually, Lord Parshurama is the only incarnation of Lord Vishnu who is not aware that he is Lord Vishnu's Incarnation. Rest all the incarnations know who they are and What their motive is.
After Treat yuga we saw Lord Parshurama was also mentioned in Dvapara Yuga he is the teacher of Mahamahim Bhishma, Guru Rishi Dronacharya, and Maharathi Karna. He also had a war with Mahamahim Bhishma in which a student defeated his Teacher. That war was the last time Lord Parshurama was seen. It is believed that he went back to Mahendra Mountain of Meditation and He is waiting for Someone.
This is the untold story of a Chiranjeevi. Chiranjeevi lived till the end of the time. Why Lord Parshurama is Chiranjeevi??? It is believed that Mahapurash will live on the earth once their motive is completed on the earth but Lord Parshurama's Motive is not completed yet. He is waiting for the 10th incarnation of Lord Vishnu the Kalki avatar. Lord Parshurama will teach Kalki's avatar about the weapon knowledge and pass on the celestial weapon knowledge.
It is believed that Lord Parshurama is still at the top of Mahendra Mountain and meditating continuously till today.
Moral:- The one who connects with his own grief can never see that the whole world is suffering not a single soul. One who saw another's grief and adapted it and tried something to change it is known as the Lord. Same as what Lord Parshurama did. After defeating Kartavirya Arjun, the Lord can rule the Haihayas Kingdom but then he is only known as King. But he moved ahead in life and adapted to the all grief of suffering people he is known as Lord Parshurama.
