He formed balance in the universe when he freed the world from demons and evil spirits. Lord Parshuram is also known as Brahma-Kshatriya as his father was Brahmin, and his mother was Kshatriya. There are ancient myths that suggest he is the god of bravery and protection. Let’s find out what are the significance and rituals behind the celebration of this day.

The Legend Of Lord Parshuram

Lord Parshuram was one of the seven immortals who lived in Dvapara Yuga, as per the Hindu myths. The ancient tale reveals that once King named Kartavirya Arjuna ordered to get the divine cow Kamdhenu but Jamadagni (father of Parshuram) came in his way. When the furious King took the cow forcefully, Lord Parshuram killed him. Later, the children of Kartavirya Arjuna took revenge by killing Jamadagni. When Lord Parshuram learned about his father’s death, he promised to kill every Kshatriya and filled five lakes with their blood. In this process, he left many Kshatriya Kings wounded and killed them around 21 times.

He went on killing Kshatriyas until sage Rucheeka approached and restricted him from doing so. Later, he impressed Lord Shiva by his faith and devotion. In return, Lord Shiva blessed him by giving him the divine weapon to save the world from evil forces.

The myths also tell us that once Parshuram was on his way to meet Lord Shiva, but Lord Ganesha tried to stop him. He battled it out with Lord Ganesha and broke his tusk. Thus, we Lord Ganesha came to be known as Ekdanta. Lord Parshuram also played his role in epic tales of Ramayana and Mahabharat. He met two incarnations of Lord Vishnu, which are Lord Rama and Lord Krishna.
