Parashuram

Parashuram

Parashuram (Sanskrit: परशुराम, IAST: Paraśurāma, a parasudharma Rama) is the sixth incarnation of Vishnu in Hinduism. According to the Puranas, he is an eternal being, and at the end of the Kali Yuga, he will become the tenth and last incarnation of Vishnu as the Guru of Kalki. He possessed many qualities, such as peace, knowledge, and patience, as well as aggression, war, and heroism. Vishnu was already predicted to take on the appearance of Parshuram on the surface of the earth when a great number of sins were committed on earth. Due to their weapons and power, the Kshatriyas began to abuse their power, seize the property of others, and oppress the people. Parshuram destroyed the Kshatriya warriors and maintained the balance of the universe. He is also referred to in some Hindu texts as Ram Jamadagnya, Ram Vargab and Birram. Parasuram is also the guru of Bhishma, Dronacharya and Karna.

He is also mentioned in some Hindu myths as Ram Yamadagni, Ram Vargab and Birram.

Legend-- According to Hindu legend, Parashuram lived in a hut of Brahmin Rusi Yamadagni and his Kshatriya wife Renuka. His birthplace is believed to be on the Janpav hill in Indore, Madhya Pradesh. There is a Shiva temple on the hill where Parasuram is believed to have worshiped Lord Shiva, the ashram (abi) is known as his father's name, Yamadagni Ashram. There is also a pond in the area that is being rehabilitated by the state government. They had a heavenly cow named Suravi (the daughter of the cow Kamadhenu) who fulfilled whatever they wanted. Kartavirya Arjuna, a king, wanted to take the cow when he found out about it. He expressed his desire for Yamadagni, but the Russian refused. While Parashuram was away from the hut, the king forcibly took it away. Parasuram was outraged when he learned of the incident. With an ax in his hand, he called on the king to fight, and Parashuram fought and killed the king. He was summoned by a mob to fight, and he killed all his opponents.

According to some legends, after his victorious battle, Parshurama returned to Survi Gai with his father and told him about the war. Rusi did not congratulate Parshuram, but admonished him that a Brahmin should not kill a king. He encouraged ordinary people as well to take part in solving this great task: "One of the things you and other people can do is keep up the pressure ... there are going to be some difficult decisions for government". On his return from the pilgrimage, Parshuram learned that his father had been killed by the Kshetrais who were trying to take revenge while he was away. Parashuram again drew an ax and killed several warriors in retaliation. Eventually, he gave up his weapon and took up asceticism.

In Kannada folk dance, especially the devotional songs sung by Devdas, he is often referred to as the son of Yelama.

Origin of Parshuram and the West Coast (Konkan) ---

Geographically and culturally there is a folklore about the origins of the West Coast. Legend has it that Parsuram originated on the west coast from the sea. Parshuram, the incarnation of Mahabishnu, threw his ax at the sea. As a result, the land on the west coast originated from the sea. The site from which he threw the ax (or arrow) is located at Salhar Fort (the second highest peak and the highest fort in Maharashtra) in the Bagalan taluka of Nashik district in Maharashtra. There is a temple at the top of the fort dedicated to Parshuram, and the footprints on the stone are four times higher than that of the common man. On the plateau below the fort is a temple of Parshuram's mother Renuka, and on the banks of a large pond there are pits to connect the Shamiana (encampment) with the poles with the Yajnakunda. The present Goa (or Gomantak), which is part of Konkan, has a temple dedicated to Lord Parshuram in Kanakona, South Goa district.
