This year, it is expected to be marked with grand observances by spiritual communities, Brahmin groups, and devotees of Vishnu.
The birth of Lord Parshuram took place to fulfill a very special divine purpose. He was not just a great warrior but also the sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu, who incarnated to protect righteousness (dharma).
According to mythological accounts, Lord Parshuram eliminated the tyranny and unrighteousness spread across the earth by annihilating the Kshatriya class 21 times. His valor and penance are described extensively in the Ramayana, Mahabharata, Vishnu Purana, and Bhagavata Purana. Lord Parshuram is considered the illustrious jewel of the Bhrigu lineage, born to Sage Jamadagni and Mother Renuka.
Lord Parshuram is also regarded as a Chiranjivi (immortal), and it is believed that he will impart the knowledge of warfare and weaponry to the future Kalki avatar. His personality embodies a remarkable combination of compassion, righteous anger, bravery, and devotion to dharma.
Thus, Parshuram Jayanti holds immense significance, inspiring us to adopt values like courage, steadfastness, penance, and duty-consciousness in our lives. Even today, Lord Parshuram is worshipped in many temples, especially in Kerala, Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Himachal Pradesh.
