Why we celebrate Parshuram Jayanti

4/22/2023

Lord Parshuram is a revered figure in Hindu mythology and one of the ten avatars of Lord Vishnu.

He is known for his exceptional martial skills, unwavering discipline, and commitment to upholding justice and righteousness.

Parshuram Jayanti is celebrated in his honor, marking the birth anniversary of this legendary warrior-sage and paying homage to his extraordinary life and teachings.
Born to Sage Jamadagni and Renuka, Parshuram was named "Rama with an axe" or "Parshuram" due to his expertise in wielding a double-edged axe, which was a gift from Lord Shiva. Parshuram is often depicted holding this weapon, symbolizing his mastery over the art of war and his unwavering determination to eradicate evil.

Parshuram's life was marked by a series of remarkable events and conflicts that shaped his path and purpose. One of the most well-known incidents involves the confrontation between his father, Sage Jamadagni, and a powerful Kshatriya king named Kartavirya Arjuna.

​This king, who possessed a thousand arms, coveted the divine cow Kamadhenu, which belonged to Parshuram's father. When the king forcefully took the cow, Parshuram swore to avenge the injustice.

Parshuram fought and defeated the king and his army, reclaiming Kamadhenu and avenging his father. However, this incident sparked a cycle of vengeance, resulting in the tragic murder of Jamadagni by the king's sons. Devastated and furious, Parshuram vowed to eradicate the Kshatriya warrior class to avenge his father's death. Legend has it that he accomplished this feat 21 times, ridding the earth of corrupt Kshatriya rulers and establishing a new era of righteousness.

In addition to his martial prowess, Parshuram was a great scholar and teacher. He is credited with founding various martial arts and passing on his knowledge to numerous disciples, including Bhishma, Drona, and Karna from the Mahabharata. Parshuram's teachings emphasized discipline, self-control, and adherence to the principles of dharma, or righteous conduct.

Parshuram Jayanti is celebrated on the third day of the Hindu lunar month of Vaishakha, also known as Akshaya Tritiya. On this auspicious day, devotees commemorate the life and teachings of Lord Parshuram, seeking his blessings and guidance. The celebration includes prayers, devotional songs, and the recitation of sacred texts, along with charitable acts and the sharing of food with the community.

In conclusion, Lord Parshuram is an exceptional figure in Hindu mythology, known for his unwavering pursuit of justice and his incredible martial skills.

Parshuram Jayanti is a celebration of this legendary warrior-sage's birth, honoring his life, teachings, and the principles he upheld. By commemorating Parshuram Jayanti, devotees are reminded of the importance of discipline, self-control, and adherence to dharma in their own lives, inspiring them to follow the path of righteousness.

    Vedic Culture, which   is the culture of the original Himalayan Masters,    is one of the most advanced ancient civilizations.  It is a tradition which has given mankind several treasures such Yoga, Meditation, Conscious-Living and Vedic Sciences such as Ayurveda, Vedic Physics & Vedic Mathematics.

    It was always a scientific culture that understood the very mechanics and workings of this Universe. Their deities, their gods and goddesses were all a way of expressing and explaining these energies and their inter-working. Modern Quantum Mechanics is just starting to understand string theory, dark matter etc. which have all been fundamental to the Vedic understanding. Because of this, they developed ways and methods which allowed one to best tap into life-energy itself.

    Vedic Culture, as it was practiced by the Himalayan Masters, was always a "way of life" and not a religion.

    Their basic view was that, there is only ONE Supreme God-head (God as our creator) and each one of us can find our path to it- experience union with that divinity (Yoga) in their own way.

    Because of this, anyone with any religious affiliations and beliefs can still benefit from their knowledgeable ways of Vedic Wisdom.

    Our attempt here is to present this ancient wisdom in a modern light, so our readers can interpret the true, essential meaning more easily and then extrapolate it to their own specific scenarios and enhance the quality of their life and being-ness.
